Leeds United 3-0 Watford highlights: Whites steamroll sorry Hornets as Rutter stars in Elland Road win
and live on Freeview channel 276
Watford arrive at Elland Road this weekend under the watchful eye of former Barnsley and West Bromwich Albion boss Valerien Ismael. Leeds boss Farke, meanwhile, is in search of three points in LS11 for the first time since taking the United job back in July.
Additionally, Leeds could make it four consecutive clean sheets after shut-outs against Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall and Hull City, however the team will be without on-loan Tottenham Hotspur defenders Joe Rodon and Djed Spence, through suspension and injury, respectively.

Leeds United 2-0 Watford LIVE: Second half updates from Elland Road
No penalty
37’ Penalty shout waved away by referee Simpson. Piroe threads a lovely ball through for the run of James who crumbles under the pressure from Jamal Lewis. D’oh!
High boot
32’ Cooper caught by the high boot of Rajovic. No yellow card. Farke unamused. Byram, meanwhile, in some discomfort. Playing on but was holding his side it looked like.
Georginio Armando Rutterdona
27’ SAVE! Again Bachmann to the rescue for the visitors. Leeds break forward with Rutter who feeds Summerville. His shot is saved brilliantly. Then, at the byline Rutter spins his man with a Maradona-esque turn and is upended. Free-kick on the edge.
Should be a Leeds free-kick
23’ Summerville goes down just outside the penalty area, speeding past Ince & Andrews. Latter nudges him, knocking him off balance but referee Jeremy Simpson isn’t having it. No yellow for diving, so presumably thinks he’s gone down too easily. Not sure.
No goal
20’ GOO....offside. Rutter has the ball in the net but he’s come from an offside position. Dan James and Piroe with some nice play in the build-up straight through the middle. Clear decision for the linesman.
