68. The Latics race forward... they almost get into the box but United double up and crowd out Dearnley. No harm done. This has been near-perfect from Leeds so far.

65. Bettache off, Whelan on. That’s the hosts final change.

64. Leeds take out an Oldham attack as the Latics race towards the box. Keillor-Dunn is over it... he shoots from 25-yards but it’s over Klaesson crossbar. Never in trouble.

61. Away fans loving life now... Leeds work another chance. McGurk has the ball fired at his feet. Lovely control in the box as he rounds the keeper and is crowded out.

LEEDS DOUBLE THE LEAD

59. Great work from McGurk down the right. He gets to the byline and squares it... there’s an Oldham defender sliding in and it’s turned home. Own goal.

GOOAAALLLL LEEDS!!!

IT’S 2-0!!!

56. McGurk forces Leutwiler into a good save to his left from distance. Diarra booked a little before for Oldham. Even start to the second half. As Leeds head away a dangerous Latics cross in.

55. Diarra leaves Miller in a heap on the floor in front of the benches. It produces the first card of the night for either side.

Tonight’s attendance

108 Leeds fans here tonight - crowd at 732.

54. Da Silva wins it.
