Half a chance for Leeds
19: The Whites work the ball to the edge of the area but Jenkins sees a shot blocked and McGurk can’t get a clean connection and swipes at the air
McKinstry is finally down the tunnel
20: Helped out by two members of staff with an arm round each one
Nice move from Leeds
23: A lovey turn by Gray in the middle but the move ends with Sutcliffe blazing well over. Leeds come again and Miller sees a shot blocked. Miller now on the right, McGurk on the left and Gray at no 10.
Another half chance
25: Dean is still buzzing about and fires over from the edge of the box. Gray set him up.
Chance Derby , solid by Klaesson
27: Hutchinson gets away with what looked like a foul and makes inroads down the right towards the box but his cross/shot is stopped by Klaesson’s outstretched leg
Not quite
28: McGurk tries a one two with Dean but Dean’s return pass is out for a throw. Leeds have been on top but not many clearcut chances, just McCarron’s which he made himself
Miller’s goal
Brilliant. Must have been 25 yards out, cut in from the right and unleashed a blockbuster of a strike that curled into the top left corner with venom. Ooohs and aaahs from the crowd who liked that one. United good value for their lead.
