Foooootwork
56’ Gelhardt turns it on in the centre with some lovely skill, Ayling runs onto it on the right and cross deflects behind for a corner.
Kris n Carry
55’ Kris Moore has stepped out and carried the ball forward twice since the break, done so very well both times. Leeds enjoying much more of the ball vs a team of youngsters.
Looking good
55’ Leeds faring better in the second half than how they began the first. A bit more territory, a bit more bite and co-ordination in their pressing.
Second half underway
46’ We’re off again. Ayling RB, Moore and Struijk CB, Drameh left-back. Joseph left wing, James right wing, Gray and Bate in CM. Gelhardt behind Bamford.
Half-time thoughts
YEP chief football writer Graham SmythLeeds took their time to find a way into the game but can be relatively pleased with some of their work in a goalless first half in Oslo. Ian Poveda coming inside to give defenders another option to hit and the breakout play of Luis Sinisterra and Georginio Rutter have helped Leeds get up the pitch after being hemmed in during the earliest stages. Liam Cooper has been busy, Cody Drameh has looked solid defensively and Darko Gyabi has shown a few glimpses of his ability.
41’ Cooper leaves Mount in a heap. Man Utd play on and Diallo curls over the top. Mount is fine, Cooper spoken to.
