A bit of needle
11. Aurier is caught by Klich with a block off the ball. Not as painful as the Spurs man suggested, Klich is then taken out a few seconds after the restart. A bit of retribution...
Leeds attack
12. Leeds flurry forward. Roberts has it on the edge of the box. He opts to shoot but it’s blocked.
Leeds take an early lead
14. Well then! It all started with Alioski’s fine ball out to Dallas, Roberts takes over, it goes left, Harrison crosses brilliantly and Reguilon takes a horrible touch and almost scores an own goal, Lloris palms it out and right winger Dallas lashes it home. 1-0!!!
SPURS CHANCE
15. It’s all go! Spurs have a corner... it’s delivered in and Bale sprints to the near post. He glances it at goal and it’s heading on target but the effort is blocked by Alli inadvertently.
Leeds free-kick
17. Alioski breaks down the left and wins a free-kick. United can pack the box. Harrison delivers to the back post. Roberts then whips another ball back across goal but it evades everyone in the box.
Leeds look comfortable
20. Well... after a whirlwind start it’s slowed up a little at Elland Road, which probably suits Leeds more than the hosts after the opener. It was a soft goal from Spurs’ point of view in all honesty. But Leeds have looked the more dangerous so far.
Koch defends well
21. Kane looked to be in on the left just for a split second. Koch had tracked the run and times his tackle to perfection to dispossess the striker. He gets a bit of luck too, as the ball hits Kane on the way past. Leeds throw and they can clear.
