- Leeds United 3-1 Burnley
Burnley corner
8. Harrison tries to head a long ball back to Meslier but it is loose. Meslier slides to stop it but he can’t... corner ball. It’s taken short and Lowton wastes it.
Roberts booked
11. Yellow card for Robets. He wins the ball deep in the Burnley half after a loose pass. Free-kick given though as he catches Lowton with his follow through. That’s a suspension for the Leeds man.
Very stop-start
13. Forshaw flies into a tackle on Gudmondsson and wins it on halfway. No foul there, Burnley man made half an appeal. Elland Road crowd cries to play on but Leeds lose it.
Burnley forward
15. Has to be said Leeds aren’t having a lot of the ball in the opening exchanges. Burnley looking a tad more comfortable. Dyche is liking what he is seeing so far. Lots of pressing from Leeds but haven’t really cut open the Clarets.
Leeds corner
16. Just as I write that.... Burnley carelessly gift Leeds possession on halfway. United break, Roberts to Forshaw and Harrison wins a corner as his delivery is blocked behind.
Leeds chance
17. Quick throw after the corner is blocked. One-two between Dallas and Klich. Dallas then skins McNeil and gets into the area to shoot, Hennessey saves. Straight at him.
RAPHINHA GOES CLOSE
19. Wow... almost a goal of the season contender. Raphinha from miles out, just over the top. Wasn’t that far inside the Burnley half of the pitch. Roberts won the ball and found him. Hennessey was back pedalling quickly. Skimmed the crossbar.
Leeds corner
21. Spell on the ball for Leeds as they knock it around the pitch. Klich releases Raphinha down the right and Burnley prod the ball away from him just as he tries to gather.
LEEDS CHANCE
22. Raphinha’s corner is blocked. It’s back to him, he whips in a vicious ball and Firpo tries a clever flick which almost beats Hennessey at the near post. He saves, it crosses the line just before Firpo hammers it goalward. Another corner ball.
