Newcastle United 0-0 Leeds United: Live match updates from St James’ Park
FT: Newcastle 0-0 Leeds
A hard-fought point for the visitors who were under the cosh for much of the game. Dug in for the last 20 minutes and were good value for the draw in the end.
84' Joelinton fails to hit the target under pressure from Adams. Chances going begging for the hosts. Murphy replaces Almiron. Leeds in 'protect what you have' territory.
78' Leeds with a rare opportunity to breakaway. Rodrigo tries to find Klich but overhits the pass. Moments earlier Saint-Maximin saw an effort flash across the face of goal.
One way
68 - Longstaff fires over again. Struijk getting a bit of a roasting by Almiron, he cuts the ball back and the shot is blazed into the stand. One way traffic.
Once more unto the breach
61' Backs to the wall stuff for Leeds now. Cooper concedes a corner after Newcastle get in down the side again. Meslier saves from a Schar back post header.
56' Sprawling save from Pope to deny Rodrigo who had cut inside and bent a ferocious shot towards the far corner.
Wood...
54' Chris Wood must think he's still playing for Leeds. His third gilt-edged chance of the game and fluffs his lines once more. Meslier with a great stop to deny the Newcastle man who peeled away at a free-kick and latched onto Burn's knockdown.
