It’s all Leeds...
61. Leeds really cranking up the pressure. Spurs struggling to get out. Bate and Summerville are popping up everywhere at the moment.
Leeds attack
59. A really good spell again... Summerville is right at the focal point of this. He gets into the area and finds Greenwood. He falls under a challenge and there’s half an appeal for a penalty which is waved away. Bate then attacks the defence but he’s pushed wide. Miller delivers but it’s away.
LEEDS CHANCE
58. A good spell for Leeds... Miller gets into the box and causes problems. Summerville shoots after the ball is fed back by Bate and it’s beaten away before Joffy hits the crossbar from distance.
Leeds free-kick
57. You guessed it... Spurs need two players to halt Summerville’s progress. Free-kick.
Leeds attack
52. Summerville is causing Spurs all sorts of bother whenever he gets on the ball. He gets into the box again, they step off due to his pace his low ball across goal is frantically cleared.
Leeds attack
49. Summerville runs at the Spurs defence... he dances around one and then another. He finds the feet of Joffy but his shot is blocked and Spurs clear away.
Clarke shoots wide
48. Clarke steps up at the indirect free-kick and his drilled effort flies wide of the far post. Leeds survive.
Klaesson penalised
47. A back pass from Leeds... and Klaesson handles it. The linesman flags. Free-kick to Spurs inside the Leeds box here...
