Leeds attack
8. Lovely move from Leeds. Cresswell starts it at the back as he steps inside... Dean crosses low and Greenwood tries to flick an effort on goal. It’s tame.
Leeds attack
9. Leeds win the ball back in the middle... it’s Cresswell again. He releases Dean down the right and the striker is caught in two minds. He tries to lift it at goal but it’s a poor effort and over the bar.
PENALTY SHOUT
11. Big shout for a penalty... Cresswell feeds Summerville into the box. Lopez is the wrong side and smashes into the back of the winger. No pen. Looked it.
ARSENAL CHANCE
12. Arsenal chance. Balgogun is through on goal but he shoots wide. Bad miss. Gunners then have the ball in the back of the net on the next attack through Swanson but he’s offside after a Klaesson save.
Arsenal pressure
14. The Gunners win a free-kick. Oulad M’Hand swings it in but Klaesson punches it clear at the first time of asking.
Leeds attack
16. Cresswell plays a ball across to Firpo. He brings it down... Miller is into the box and he delivers but it’s headed away by an Arsenal defender.
LEEDS AHEAD
20. Sam Greenwood scores against his former side. Arsenal have a man down... they play on. Summerville wins it back and he runs into the area where Ogungbo would be. He finds Greenwood who slots home. Gunners not happy - but they carried on...
