Vital header from Cooper
32: Had to get that, clears a cross from the left, Kane was behind him if not for a tap in, it all started after Llorente tried a Cruyff turn in his own half when Leeds looked to counter
Nice move Leeds
26: Ends with a James cross from the right being cleared, Leeds defending really well, it’s Cooper and Phillips the deepest two players
Real Spurs danger, from nothing
22: Son races away down the left, crosses for Kane who takes a touch which is just too heavy and Phillips is there quick as a flash to clear
