FT: Leeds 4-1 Luton
Leeds deserved winners. Two wins from two in the PL Cup now. A goal and pair of assists by Sean McGurk; Charlie Allen bright, as were Luca Thomas, Keenan Carole, Darko Gyabi, Kris Moore & Diogo Monteiro.
Top performance.
Killing time
87’ Gyabi down receiving treatment after attempting an overhead kick. Awkward one. We’ve all been there, Darko.
Decisive defending
77’ Van den Heuvel and Kris Moore on hand to deny Luton a flicked effort finding the back of the net. Slick move, slick finish but VDH rushes out, gets enough on it and Moore cleans up.
69’ Bate into McGurk and the latter hits the side-netting after feinting well with his body. Speed and tempo coming through these two.
Rapid fire yellows
64’ Cian Coleman the latest in the book for Leeds. Foul on the near side. Luton free-kick. Fired in low to VDH’s near post but the Whites stopper is equal to it. Corner ball.
