LEEDS CHANCE
33. Oh my word. Miller has just smashed the post with a peach of an effort. Cuts inside from the right and curls a lovely dipped effort at goal - it hits the inside of the woodwork and somehow stays out.
Brighton pressure
34. Seagulls respond as the Miller effort seems to have woken up the game a little. They’re deep into the Leeds half with a throw but Leeds win it back - Brighton wanted a free-kick but it’s waved away.
LEEDS CHANCE
36. Leeds build it well again... Summerville jinks into the area. He works some space and shoots from a tight angle but he can’t keep his effort down. McGill watches it fly over the bar.
Brighton shoot
37. Miller for the Seagulls cuts inside from the left. He loses his man and it opens up as he charges at goal. He takes a touch and drills a shot but it flies wide. Klaesson watches it whistle past his goal.
Brighton booking
40. Dicker booked for the hosts. He drags down Greenwood after the Leeds man spins and turns him on halfway.
LEEDS CHANCE
42. Bate plays in Summerville... he’s taken out right on the edge of the box. Blatant free-kick. The ball, though, runs to Dean. He shoots and McGill pulls off another great save. It was a good height but strong hands were required.
Brighton attack
44. Beautiful skill from Leonard. He beats two men on halfway with a couple of touches. He runs at Leeds and eventually crossed which Hjelde clears. United are then forced back again and they concede a corner.
Klaesson punches
45. Brighton swing the corner ball into the six-yard box. Klaesson leaps highest to punch the delivery away from goal. Brighton press again but Kenneh steals the ball back to relieve the late first half pressure.
