Leeds corner
15. Leeds win a corner. It’s delivered into the box and headed to the edge of the area. Raphinha shoots and it’s deflected away. Harrison then tries to cross in but loses it and takes out Djenepo with a lunge. He escapes a booking, though. He was late.
Southampton attack
17. Alioski is caught out by a ball over the top. Casilla charges out of his goal to chase a ball towards the corner, he doesn’t get there and Cooper is forced to clear Walcott’s cross into the middle. Another warning and escape for Leeds.
Ayling shoots wide
19. Probably sums up United’s frustrations in the first 20 minutes here. Not had much at all going forward. Ayling gets the ball on the edge of the box with no options and drags a shot well wide. A few whistles from the home crowd greet it.
Southampton shoot over
20. Casilla throws a ball out after a cross from the right. It’s intercepted and Saints can attack. Armstrong runs onto a pass just outside the box but he’s pressured and his effort flies over the bar.
Leeds attack
22. Some good play from Leeds. Harrison spins away from his man on the left and drills a ball into the feet of Rodrigo. He’s got forward runners into the box but his low pass to Dallas is cut out at the last second. It’s much better.
LEEDS CHANCE
24. Wow. The best move of the game from Leeds. Good break from United. Harrison crosses to the back post, Raphinha heads to Dallas in the box who chests it down and fires past the post with his left foot. He had his head on his hands.
Leeds attack
25. Rodrigo slots Raphinha through and he loses control. Leeds at least causing a few problems now. Growing into it after a sluggish start.
Leeds corner
28. Raphinha with some lovely feet down by the nearside corner flag. Beats his man and wins a corner.
