Brighton pressure
60. Brighton have responded to the Leeds pressure... they’re enjoying a spell themselves now. Couple of scares for Leeds but we’re still goalless as Klaesson punches away from a free-kick.
LEEDS CHANCE
61. Leeds chance... Bate skins his man on the far side. Ball is eventually crossed in and Greenwood is there. He heads on goal but can’t get enough power on it - straight at McGill.
Brighton in possession
63. It’s been a cracking second half... we’re just missed any goals. Brighton with more pressure. They have a throw. Sutcliffe is forced to head a cross behind.
Brighton offside
64. Brighton lift the ball in from a corner. The ball pings around the box... it’s one way then another. The flag is eventually raised.
Leeds corner
65. Leeds straight down the other end... Sutcliffe and Bate link up. The latter wins a corner ball... Greenwood to take.
LEEDS CHANCE
66. The Greenwood corner is through everyone in the box. Dean is there at the back post. He’s off balance and tries to shoot but he can’t keep his half-volley down and on target.
Leeds break the deadlock
67. Leeds ahead... and it’s a lovely goal. Miller leaves his man on the floor on the left. Into the box... finds Greenwood who lays the ball to Snowdon on the edge of the box. Bang. 1-0.
