Leeds United U23s 1-3 Manchester City U23s: Young Whites beaten as attendance record smashed
Big chance
63’ Kayky slid in down the right again, just like City’s first goal. Cresswell slides in but the Brazilian manages it to chop the ball over the sliding defender’s leg. Side-foots his effort wide of Klaesson’s near post.
Scramble
57’ Leeds come down the left-hand side with Archie Gray who cuts it back. Summerville dummies it, McGurk’s strike is blocked into the path of Joseph who squirms it to Jenkins. He shoots once more, and it’s blocked again.
Ball comes out to Bate from 35 yards. He strikes just wide of the mark. It was dipping. Elland Road behind this team.
Big chance
53’ POST! Jenkins hit the frame of the goal after Summerville dribbled across the face of the box. So close.
Just wide
51’ Jack Jenkins strikes one first time from the edge of the box and it trickles past the post. City ‘keeper Slicker was beaten. Good work to hold off the challenge in build-up by Gray.
Second half on the way
Teams back out for the second half. No changes for the home side.
One City change: Oscar Bobb on for Cole Palmer.
