71. Free-kick swung in after a Greenwood handball. Turns rises... he meets it and guides it. Great header but it falls the wrong side of the post. Klaesson was worried.

73. Greenwood was advances in the Brighton half. Spong slides in and catches him.

73. Leeds chance... Miller - who has been ace tonight - gets past his man and drills at goal. McGill is there.

76. Pressure from Leeds... they work Brighton around. Bate finds Greenwood in the box. He shoots low and McGill saves with a strong hand. Dean followed in on the rebound but couldn’t get there.

77. Brighton break and let one fly from distance. Klaesson meets it with a punch...

77. Offiah off, Packham on.

78. Seagulls have a corner. Turns rises in the box to head on goal but it’s over the bar.

79. McGill - who has been infuriatingly good - saves from Greenwood. The striker is through and in on goal. He shoots low first time but the goalkeeper blocks with his legs. Brighton clear the corner.

80. Leeds pressure again... it’s worked well. Dean has it outside the box and opts to shoot but the effort is tame. Easy stop for McGill.

Klaesson saves well

81. Save from Klaesson... proper end to end now. Tolaj shoots low and the Leeds stopper dives to his right. Solid save.
