LEEDS CHANCE
68. CHANCE! Huge one. Leeds come forward. Greenwood crosses low... McCarron slices a shot and Dean sidefoots at goal. Great save from Hein. Dean, though, follows in with his head as Arsenal swing it clear with a boot - appeals waved away.
Long stoppage
70. Elland Road crowd not happy. There’s an Arsenal player down after the collision - Dean wanted a penalty and is still complaining.
Arsenal pressure
72. Good spell for the Gunners. They stretch Leeds around their own half - Taylor-Hart shoots low and it’s blocked. McCarron was caught on the ball a little before but it’s no harm done. United could do with a second wind here - a point is there for the taking.
LEEDS CHANCE
75. Miller with a driving run from the left - opts to go alone and drags his shot just wide. Good effort.
Klaesson goes down
77. The Leeds stopper grabs the ball and is then taken down by an Arsenal forward as he tries an early throw. He’s not happy. Play restarts and Arsenal win another corner. Not happening for Leeds at the moment.
Arsenal frustrating Leeds
81. Leeds just cannot seem to get the ball at the moment... United struggling to keep it whenever they eventually get it back.
