Leeds 1-0 Leicester...
Leeds ahead at the break but a big second half is going to be required, Cresswell’s red has given Leicester life. Joffy with the goal.
Leicester chance
45. McAteer rises inside the area to meet a ball that’s swung in from the far side. It’s well over the bar.
Bielsa here
43. Leicester well in this now following the red. Bielsa has arrived, here watching the youngsters.
Leicester free-kick
42. Fitzhugh fires wide from a tight angle... all Leicester at the moment. Red card has altered things as expected.
Leicester corner
40. Foxes win it on the far side... Kenneh the one who blocks a low cross. McCarron volleys the set-piece clear.
Leicester free-kick
38. McKinstry takes out his man right on his own byline... chance to swing this in for Fitzhugh. Drameh, though, heads it clear at the back post.
Red changes things
35. Leeds have dominated Leicester so far and have their lead. Cresswell, though, has walked and now that completely changes the dynamic of the game. Two yellow cards, which were bookings - silly from Charlie the last one. United need to dig in and find their shape now to settle into a rhythm. A long time to play with 10.
RED CARD!
32. RED CARD! Cresswell given his marching orders for a second yellow as he drags down a Leicester counter... he’d just hit the bar with a header.
