First real Chelsea attack
Some strong running through the middle out of defence but ball eventually sails behind.
Chance Leeds
13: Corner for the Whites two minutes later, Roberts smashes the ball back across the box but wide.
The Chelsea goal
Centre-back Xavier Mbuyamba - who is six foot five - with the header. Got the jump on Mullen and Klaesson rooted to his line. Mbuyamba had earlier stormed forward through the middle of the park.
Chances for both sides
15: Moore robbed of the ball in his own area and Lewis Hall sees his low shot saved by Klaesson, a good chance that, tight angle but not far out. Leeds hit back Dean fires in an effort from the edge of the box that is easily saved. Dean - who is still only 17 - is heavily involved on the right.
Another Leeds attempt
19: Miller cuts in from the left but weak shot from the edge of the box is easily saved
