  • RESULT: Leeds United 1-1 Leicester City

5. Llorente plays a crossfield, it lands at Harrison’s feet. He cuts into the box and shoots, it deflects off a Foxes defender and Schmeichel is forced into a vital save.

5. Raphinha swings in a corner, Phillips looses his man at the front post and fires a header on goal but it’s straight at Schmeichel who punches it away from goal.

LEEDS PENALTY SHOUT

6. Raphinha cuts inside, Lookman tangles with him after he knocks it past him to the byline. The winger goes over alongside his counterpart... he wants a penalty but referee Darren England gives a free-kick against him.

Leeds shape has changed

8. Pascal Struijk flying down the left wing, there. Looks like United are now playing a back four with Struijk on the left, Dallas on the right. Forshaw and Phillips sitting in front, Rodrigo ahead of them with James up top.

11. Offside flag goes up as Llorente challenges Vardy and takes him down as the last defender with the ball heading towards the striker, he would’ve been in on goal. Looked a foul on the Foxes man. Some dramatics from Llorente but he’s fine to continue. Play allowed to go on after the flag. VAR checks for a moment... but Leeds escape. Phew. No harm done.

Dallas defends well

14. Leicester attack down the left. It’s Barnes, he drives forward past Raphinha. Dallas recovers brilliantly to win the ball and keep it to just a throw, rather than a corner ball. Leeds then clear.

16. Brilliantly from Raphinha, who plays a one-two with Dallas inside his own half. He releases Rodrigo forward, who squares for James but Schmeichel is out at the last moment to clear away. Close.

18. Cooper with a long ball over the top. Harrison is onto it. He finds Rodrigo, who squares into the box but his pass is underhit. Cleared.

20. United down the left, Harrison crossed and it’s headed behind by a Leicester head. Corner ball.

21. Pressure from Leeds as the first ball from the corner is headed away. Rodrigo sees a shot blocked before Dallas and Harrison both cross but there’s no-one to get on the end of it.
