SHOT Leeds
52 - substitute Archie Gray shoots from the edge of the box but his effort is over the bar.
CHANCE Leeds
49 - Summerville rounds the ‘keeper from about 30 yards out, takes a long range shot which rolls agonisingly wide of the empty net.
Half time whistle goes
Summerville’s goal is the difference at the break. Leeds should by leading by more, couple of big chances gone begging.
Referee is not happy
Little bit of argy bargy going on from a Palace goal kick. Ref calls over Palace’s Phillips. No cards shown.
MASSIVE MISS
44 - Greenwood will not be happy with that. In a near identical phase of play, Summerville puts Greenwood one on one with the keeper. Plenty of space in Whitworth’s goal to choose from and striker blasts it over the bar. Looks suitably frustrated with himself.
Clever corner routine
42 - McCarron takes the Whites’ first corner of the game, drills it into the edge of the six yard box. Mullen runs on and strikes first time but his shot goes the wrong side of the post.
HUGE CHANCE FOR LEEDS
40 - Summerville and Greenwood have more time and space then they can dream of in the middle of the pitch. Greenwood shoots from the penalty spot and his effort is deflected over the bar.
