Tottenham under-23s 1 Leeds United under-23s 1: Recap as Whites suffer late blow

It’s been a long wait for Leeds United’s under-23s.

Mark Jackson’s young Whites have not played since recording a 3-0 victory against league visitors Liverpool way back on February 7.

United’s under-23s then saw three games postponed due to the influx of storms that hit the country, a league trip to Brighton and the Premier League Cup clash away at Mansfield Town falling by the wayside.

The game against the Stags was called off twice.

But the young Whites are finally back in action tonight and striker Sam Greenwood looks set to return.

The forward took to his Instagram story earlier to post a preview of tonight’s game together with the words “first one back.”

Leeds United under-23s v Tottenham under-23s: Klaesson, Sutcliffe, McCarron, Bate, Mullen, Kenneh, McKinstry, Allen, Dean, Greenwood, Miller. Subs: Van Den Heuvel, McGurk, Moore, Jenkins, Joseph.

Players out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

1: Leeds kick us off through Max Dean

4: Ball flashed across the box and Max Robson just unable to convert. Hosts well on top.

6: Bennett from the edge of the box, just wide

10: Dean through one on one - tries to tuck it home but shot saved and deflected behind for a corner. Kenneh then heads wide from the corner

12: Lovely play by Leeds, Miller races away down the left, squares to Dean who is in the box but fires wide and he’s very annoyed at himself for not converting

Jesse Marsch has been confirmed as Leeds United’s new head coach on a deal that runs until 2025.
