LEEDS CHANCE
19. Short corner to Bate. He beats one... then two. His shot is blocked as he tries to find the far corner. Another corner.
LEEDS CHANCE
20. Greenwood delivers to the back post. Hjelde rises unmarked but his header is straight at McGill in goal.
Leeds pressure
21. Brighton struggled to get out there for a few minutes. Leeds pressed them into a few mistakes. Summerville the latest as he delivers low but it’s caught again by McGill. Seagulls then win a free-kick as Miller comes again down the flank. Better from Leeds.
Leeds attack
22. Sums it up so far... nice ball over the top for Hjelde down the left. He tries to cross first time on the bounce but he can’t control it and it’s over and out of play for a goal-kick.
Brighton free-kick
23. Ferguson spins by the corner flag and cuts inside. He goes down... ref says yes. Spong to deliver from out wide... but it’s over everyone and out of play.
BRIGHTON CHANCE
25. Huge chance for Brighton. Ball into the box from the right... it’s bouncing and Leonard is onto it but he sends his diving header over the bar from inside the six-yard box. We’re level still... somehow.
Leeds attack
26. Dean is screaming for a penalty at the near post as he’s pulled to the floor. Miller delivered in but the referee wasn’t interested. Brighton come away.
LEEDS CHANCE
28. SAVE! Brilliant stop from McGill for Brighton. Leeds build it so well from the back. Greenwood across to Hjelde. Summerville is in and his curling effort is tipped wide.
Leeds pressure
29. Leeds see the corner cleared. They attack again down the left through Miller... but his cross is well overhit and out of play.
