LEEDS CHANCE
60. Huge chance for Leeds to level. McCarron with some brilliant work to deliver. Ball falls to Dean and he shoots low but draws a fantastic save Hegyi.
Summerville on
61. Leeds need something, so Mark Jackson throws Crysencio Summerville into the game. He replaces Amari Miller.
Hammers yellow card
64. West Ham yellow. Summerville turns on halfway, he’s dragged back. It’s not enough to stop him so Baptise hacks him down.
Leeds free-kick
67. Summerville, again, causing havoc. He slides in McKinstry and he’s hacked down. Ball is whipped in and it’s over everyone. Hammers throw.
LEEDS PENALTY
69. West Ham lose the ball in midfielder. McKinstry feeds in Joffy, who is taken out by Baptise.
Bit of afters
71. There’s some afters... Dean and Hammers goalkeeper Hegyi booked. Bit of a scrap over the ball. It has been brewing... all square, though.
Leeds pressure
74. United have responded well since the leveller, they’re looking for a winner now. West Ham struggling to keep the ball as McKinstry gets booked.
Leeds on the front foot
77. It’s Leeds who are enjoying more of the ball and with it comes pressure. No real openings but Summerville, McKinstry, Greenwood and Joffy are all asking questions. Hammers having to weather a bit of a storm.
