All a bit congested
16: When Leeds look to attack, narrow. Frantic stuff. Watford free kick now wide on the left after an Ayling foul on Kucka, cross coming in
RAPHINHA!!!
21: Lovely finish. Brilliant shot from the edge of the box, in off the post, Foster might have thought he was going for the opposite corner. Chance came after good pressing by James who won a second ball after his overhead kick pass was cleared. Raphinha celebrates with a little jig.
