Leeds chance
59. Of sorts. Fulham play a loose header back to the goalkeeper - Dean is lurking but the stopper gets there just ahead of the Leeds man.
Stop in play
60. Kenneh has a collision with a Fulham players on the far side - he’s having to receive some treatment so there’s a halt in play.
Back underway
62. We’re ready to get going again after a lengthy stoppage. Leeds need to ask a few more questions of Fulham.
FULHAM POST
64. Fulham hit the post. Low effort from outside the box - Caprile was scrambling. Not sure if he got finger tips to it or not.
Leeds holding firm
67. Still Fulham the side putting more pressure on. Casey and Drameh have been forced into some good defensive work in the last few minutes.
Leeds attack
69. McCarron nips in behind the Fulham defence - has no support so has to go for goal from a tight angle. Effort is high and wide.
Fulham attack
70. Kenneh loses the ball in his own half. Fulham pounce but they can’t make him pay - a shot is dragged wide from outside the box.
Leeds attack
71. McCarron, again, he’s on the left and has Huggins on the overlap. Decides not to pass and shoots instead - flies just over the bar.
