83. Jenkins the guilty party... chance for Brighton to load up the box. It’s about 35-yards from goal.

Tolaj scores

Brighton level late

84. Free-kick comes in... the ball pings around. Klaesson saves it. Tolaj knocks in the rebound. Ugh.

86. The Seagulls have their tails up... ball is crossed in from the right. Tolaj is there again but his header is tame and well wide.

88. Furlong is into the book... Dean and Leeds were breaking over halfway and he slides in. One for the team, there. Time running out...

89. Miller smashes the post... ughhh. Great work again from the winger on the right as he beats the defence into the box. McGill might’ve got a finger tip.

Three added minutes

90. We’re into added time...

90+2. Late pressure... Greenwood intot he box after Dean brings down a lovely ball from Gray. His low shot is blocked though. McGill gathers.

90+3. Dean’s ball from out wide is nodded to the edge of the box... Bate sees it open up and he shoots but it flies over the bar.

90+3. McGurk is on for Jenkins deep into added time.
