Middlesbrough 3-4 Leeds United highlights: Seven-goal thriller ends in Whites' favour with Summerville double
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Whites trail top spot and Leicester City by four points after the Foxes recorded a narrow victory over West Bromwich Albion at the weekend and will only return to the automatic promotion places if they secure a win on Teesside tonight.
Ipswich Town do not play until Saturday afternoon, at which point Leeds could be four points clear of the Tractor Boys, should they win back-to-back games versus Middlesbrough and then Queens Park Rangers on Friday evening.

FT: Middlesbrough 3-4 Leeds United
It’s over. Breathe. Piroe, Rutter and Rodon hug emphatically in the centre circle. Dan James receiving treatment after the whistle for an abdominal issue.
HANG ON
90+2' Absolute chaos-ball. Howson rifles one low at Leeds' goal but Meslier comes up with an important save on the turf.
Scramble
89' Leeds scramble one clear as Bangura beats James and gets a shot off. Meslier palms the deflected effort away for a corner then Anthony clears the set-piece. Need to show some resolve here.
Goal Boro 3-4.
87' Long ball over the top is cleverly headed over Meslier by Latte Lath. Catches the goalkeeper off his line.
CHAAAANCE
85' CHANCE! Dan James through on goal about to pull the trigger and Bangura levels him with a fantastic challenge. Ball and man. Corner Leeds. Anthony on for Summerville (Leeds). Matthews on for Silvera (Boro).
