Leicester attack
73. A quick attack from the visitors, who get down the right. It opens up and there’s a shot but it’s easily saved.
Leeds chance
69. Aghhh. A clever corner routine from Leeds. It’s taken low, there’s a stepover and Greenwood runs onto it unmarked but his fizzing shot is inches over the bar.
Leeds chance
68. Hello... Leeds from kick-off set off on an attack. McKinstry down the left, cuts inside and fires a shot at the far corner. It’s inches wide.
Leicester take the lead
67. Ball into the box from Brunt, it’s nodded down by Spencer-Adams. Fitzhugh volleys home.
Leicester corner

Jenkins booked
