- FT: Leeds United 1-0 Watford (Llorente 18’)
LEEDS CHANCE
61. Well, of sorts. Raphinha’s corner is inswinging. It’s right underneath the crossbar. Llorente is there but Foster, somehow, claws it away and Watford hoof it clear.
Leeds corner
61. Dallas lifts the ball into the area from the free-kick. Watford head behind. Corner ball.
Watford booking
59. Femenia heads into the book. James was away down the left chasing a ball and he rugby tackles him to the floor. Blatant.
Leeds attack
58. Klich is patient over on the far side. He turns with Watford retreating... he picks out the run of Dallas who takes a touch on the edge of the box and blazes a shot over the bar.
Leeds defend well
56. A rare attack down the left... Watford swing a ball into the box and Cooper meets it with a boot. United play it around in their own final third. Lose it, then win it again. Still a game while it’s only one...
Leeds pressure
54. United penning Watford it again... Shackleton wins a throw. Just need that vital opening for a second... Hornets seeing off the pressure as things stand.
Leeds attack
51. James, again, he dribbles brilliantly past two defenders and delivers low into the six-yard box. Rodrigo is looming and would be on it if not for the dive of Foster. Great play again. Leeds need that second for a cushion.
Leeds attack
50. Leeds work it from right to left. They’re all over the Hornets again. James has it in the box and shapes his body to shoot for the far post... he does and Watford block behind. Corner ball... which is defended. United retain the ball.
