- RESULT: Leeds United 2-2 West Ham
West Ham attack
81. The first one in a long while. Chesters gets into the box and he drills a ball across goal. Klaesson is forced to tip it and it’s cleared, eventually, by the Whites.
Hammers double change
83. Bit of cramp for Swyer and he’s replaced by Dju. That’s the first change for the visitors.
Bate down
85. Hjelde leaves him short with a pass into midfield. There’s a slide tackle and the referee says play on. United have to recover and there’s danger for a second but Drameh sweeps up and wins a free-kick.
Needs a moment of magic
86. Very stop-start in the last few minutes... neither side with any real momentum at the moment.
LEEDS CHANCE
89. So close... Hjelde sets off on a run. He beats one, two, three... Dean is fed in and his low effort is blocked just wide. McCarron then heads straight at Hegyi.
OFF THE BAR
90+1. OFF THE BAR! Kenneh with a header... jumps highest and smashes the framework. Dean wanted a penalty off the ball.
