SOUTHAMPTON CHANCE
90+2. Ings flashes a half volley wide much to the home fans delight. Really sweetly struck effort. Quite wide though. Leeds sitting deeper and deeper.
Southampton free-kick
90+4. Cooper sprints out as he reads a pass on the edge of the Leeds box with pressure building. He takes out his man. Free-kick. Ward-Prowse to take about 35-yards from goal...
SOUTHAMPTON CHANCE
90+4. The Saints cross into the box deep and it falls to Stevens. He heads straight at Casilla in the net. Wow.
LEEDS DOUBLE THE LEAD
90+5. Saints miss a big chance at one end, Leeds break, Raphinha plays Roberts in on goal and he dithers, so Bamford sends one goalwards, it’s blocked but the rebound comes to Roberts and he sidefoots home so coolly. Bielsa over the moon. That’s his first Premier League goal.
LEEDS CHANCE
90+6. Wow. Leeds want a third! Straight from kick-off... Harrison to Bamford to Raphinha and the Brazilian’s low shot is saved well with the legs of McCarthy. He’s fuming.

Bielsa post-match reaction
On the victory: “It wasn’t my influence. It was down to individual performances that we won.”
On Tyler’s first Premier League goal: “I was happy he scored. He has played many games and not managed to do it. The team in the second half looked a lot more like the team that it is.”
