5’: GOAL LEEDS!! Out of nowhere Leeds steals one! They’ve come out on all cylinders, and the hhave a goal after an aerial cross by Bogle and put into the far side by Noah Okafor!
12’: SAVE! Diallo gets a great pass through everyone to spring the chance, but his shot from distance is caught by Darlow. Looked offside on first blush but clearly onside on replay

36’: Cunha fires but his shot flies over the net. He’s claiming a corner but doesn’t get it, maybe a slight nick off off the defender but if so the ref didn’t see it
39’: James Justin carded for a bad sliding challenge on Cunha
40’: Calvert-Lewin with a leaping header but it’s too far beyond him and it glances off-target.
