Leeds chance
90+3. A lovely pass from Jenkins over the top sets Dean free down the left. He slides in Greenwood but he can’t keep his effort down inside the area.
Great work from Dean
88. Dean slides in to win the ball in the Spurs half. He drives to the byline and draws a tackle. There’s half a shout for a penalty but it’s a corner ball. The set-piece comes in and it hits Summerville and out for a goal-kick. That pretty much sums it up for Leeds.
Spurs make changes
87. Markanday makes his exit... a hat-trick for him this afternoon. We’re nearly into injury-time.
Spurs corner
86. Klaesson saves a shot from distance. Spurs swing a corner in and it’s over the bar. Leeds goal-kick.
Leeds pressure
84. United finding the strength to finish strong. Spurs, though, defending well for the moment. Struggling to break the banks of four down now. The visitors are taking a lot of time over free-kicks and throw-ins too.
