Leeds United 0-3 Middlesbrough highlights: Boro hit three at Elland Road as Whites knocked out of Carabao Cup
Leeds defeated Boro earlier this year in an entertaining, seven-goal contest at the Riverside Stadium as £25 million winger Crysencio Summerville scored a brace, while Patrick Bamford and Willy Gnonto both hit the back of the net in a 4-3 win.
That game was one of Leeds’ final outings of the 2023/24 Championship season, while tonight’s fixture pits the two well-matched opponents against each other in League Cup action.

Leeds United vs Middlesbrough LIVE
No goals today
90+8' Deep cross swung in by Gruev, Brynn comes for it but doesn't connect leaving Piroe at the back post unmarked but the ball doesn't fall kindly enough/he doesn't react quick enough and it's out for a goal kick.
To his disbelief
83' Georginio cuts inside onto his left and strikes the base of the post with a sweet effort. Piroe heads the rebound wide.
Boro changes
81' Emmanuel Latte Lath and Micah Hamilton on for Isaiah Jones and Josh Coburn for Boro.
No card, though
78' Gnonto fouls Gilbert in front of the away fans, who are ole-ing every Boro pass.
Boro want four
72’ Coburn shoots across Darlow’s goal. Dijksteel then picks it up centrally and shoots powerfully over the top.
Subs and shot
69' Ball sent in, half-cleared and drops kindly for Piroe who lashes into red shirts. Blocked. McCormick on; Engel off and Burgzorg off; Azaz on for Boro, in the meantime.
Boro 3-0
67' From Leeds' goal kick. Darlow punts forward, Boro win the header unchallenged and within a few short passes, Gilbert finds Jones in acres of space on the edge of Leeds' area. His shot is blocked into Coburn's path who slots in. Really poor.
Send in the subs. Five #LUFC changes.
64' Georginio on; Aaronson off
Gnonto on; Gelhardt off
Struijk on; Wober off
Bogle on; Firpo off
Gruev on; Byram off
Darlow receiving treatment in the meantime for a facial injury.
Goal. 2-0. Boro. Burgzorg
61' Bamford dispossessed in Boro's half, Coburn picks it up and threads one through the middle for Burgzorg. Ampadu left sprawling. Attempt made by Rodon to stand up the new Boro signing but sidesteps the Welshman & slots into the bottom corner. A raft of Leeds changes to come.
