- RESULT: West Ham 2-0 Leeds United
Rice shoots over
96. Odd free-kick... from out wide Rice tries to drill a cross/shot into the far post but messes it up completely. Well over the bar.
LEEDS CHANCE
88. A hugeeeee chance for Leeds. They work it so well. Summerville, to Dallas then to Harrison. The winger swings a ball into the six-yard box and it hits James before he can react. It’s wide.
Four added minutes
90. Koch with a vital tackle on Antonio in the Leeds box... he was in if he got past him as he tried to cut inside. The added time board then goes up.
Leeds corner
90+2. Pressure from Leeds... they win a corner. And Meslier goes up for it... but it’s cleared.
Game over
90+3. West Ham break with Leeds completely committed. Antonio squares to Bowen and he drills home underneath Meslier.
FULL-TIME
