Leeds United U21s 1-2 West Bromwich Albion U21s highlights: Whites suffer back-to-back defeats
and live on Freeview channel 276
Michael Skubala’s side were defeated 1-0 by Nottingham Forest just under two weeks ago, however Under-21s’ standout Sonny Perkins did salvage a replay for the senior squad late on during their FA Cup Third Round tie with Cardiff City earlier this month.
Skubala himself has been working alongside Jesse Marsch and his first-team coaching staff following the departure of Mark Jackson, who has left to become MK Dons’ head coach in League One.

One touch too many
78’ McFadden working back well, retrieves possession and sets McGurk free down the left. His fizzed pass into Joseph is a hard one to control and the Spaniard attempts to juggle it over the defender's head but 'keeper claims.
Making amends
77’ Drameh making amends for his part in the Baggies’ pen by steaming towards the byline and cutting one back across the face of goal. It finds McGurk at the far post, who tries to cut inside instead of taking it first time. Crowded out.
61’ Leeds starting to come alive in this second half now. Perkins and Joseph with chances in the last couple of minutes. Ball runs away from the former after a good turn, then the latter fires over the top after good work to regain it.
