Southampton vs Leeds United highlights: Bamford goes off injured as Rodrigo hits double

Second half underway

46’ Away we go for the second half.

HT: Southampton 0-0 Leeds

Bamford injury and the VAR review for Llorente’s last-ditch tackle the only talking points from that half. Dan James on at the half-hour mark with the best chance for the visitors.

42’ Intensity of this one falling victim to the weather you suspect. All getting a bit laboured as we approach half-time. A few lazy passes, tackles, clearances from both sides. Free-kick to Southampton near the touchline, Harrison booked for clipping Bella-Kotchap’s ankles.

36’ CHANCE! Leeds players queuing up at the back post from a corner to get on the end of Rodrigo’s flick-on. Kristensen and James get in the way of each other and somehow the ball stays out.

27’ Dan James coming on for Patrick Bamford. Not what you want to see.

Chances at both ends

19’ Armstrong arriving in the box for Saints. Initial effort blocked but takes a wicked ricochet and nearly ends up in the back of the net.
