Roberts looking to press
23: Running hard to close down defenders but no joy for him so far, one shot saved and another wide
Lovely from Archie Gray
24: Fine control to take down a long pass and then a nice back heel to Miller down the left. The move came after Lewis Baker - remember him? - was tackled on the edge of the Leeds box
Better from Leeds
27: Fine crossfield pass from Hjelde to Dean who chests the ball down and then sends in a cross which is scrambled clear
Good feet from Roberts
28: Twists and turns on the edge of the box but shot flies over the top left corner. Chance came after a good strong challenge by Greenwood
A let off for Klaesson
29: Almost tackled playing out from the back, gets a second challenge in to clear in the end
CHANCE Chelsea
31: Leeds cut open through the middle, Baker running through, ball played across to Vale who smashes a shot over the bar
Almost a carbon copy goal
35: Another header from a set piece and it’s the same player again - Mbuyamba. From a Lewis Baker free-kick on the right.
