- FULL-TIME: Manchester City (Lavia red card) 3-2 Leeds United
HALF-TIME
Man City 0-1 Leeds United - City have been dangerous - Palmer in particular, but it’s Leeds who are ahead. Greenwood from the spot after Summerville was taken out.
Leeds sub
45+2. Change in first half stoppage time - Hjelde off, McCarron on. Looked like a knock for Hjelde, went down a little earlier.
Klaesson save
44. City have Leeds penned in. It’s a dangerous attack. Klaesson saves a low shot as bodies block the pressure. Kenneh eventually hooks the ball away so Leeds can get their shape.
Hjelde down
41. Hjelde is down off the ball on the far side. He needs treatment. Bamford gave away a free-kick just as Leeds tried to break from a City corner ball.
City attack
39. Bobb is into the Leeds box... he’s pressured and his shot is wayward. Egan-Riley then heads on goal from the resulting corner and it’s another set-piece for the hosts.
Leeds take the lead
38. Bate slid Summerville through... and he was sent tumbling by Egan-Riley inside the box. City have had the chances but Greenwood puts Leeds ahead from the spot.
