Leeds strong at the back

64: Rodon marshalling the back line. Bournemouth running out of ideas a bit. Triple change made. Leeds win a corner.

Chance Leeds again

Longstaff free kick out wide, goes for goal and it needed Petrovic to be alert and save.

GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!

LONGSTAFF!!!!!! What a finish! Outside of the boot just inside the box, in off the post, after fine work by Gudmundsson to keep the ball in on the byline. Cross finds Okafor, shot blocked, Aaronson shot also blocked. But ball comes to Longstaff and what a finish!

Chance but offside

Back underway

Half time

All kicking off

43: Late challenge by Adams om Stach, Longstafff goes after him, big melee but ref Oliver calms it down with no cards.

Chance Bournemouth

41: Rapid counter. Adil shot saved from the edge of the box, straight at Darlow.

All Leeds!

40: Okafor flies into the box, Bournemouth scramble it clear

GOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL

37: RODON HEADER!!!! A towering one, Longstaff corner, Rodon rises highest, strong firm header from middle of the box flies past Petrovic.

Great tackle

36: By Longstaff on Semenyo as he raced towards the box. Had to make that one. Bogle then comes forward at the other end and Leeds win a corner. Longstaff on it. Corner cleared to Okafor, shot from edge of box deflected behind for another one.

Fine cross Leeds

33: From Okafor but DCL not near it and Bournemouth clear before attacking on the counter. Leeds come back again but Bogle goes too far to the byline and cross is behind for a goal kick.

GOAL BOURNEMOUTH

26: Bullet from Semenyo. But it looked well worked. The whole wall jumped and his raking low shot flew underneath it and past Darlow. Aaronson was laying down behind the wall but Semenyo shot placed past him. He wasn’t long enough basically. Can’t miss chances like Leeds and DCL have missed and expect not to be punished.

Danger, Bournemouth free kick edge of box

26: After a Stach shove.

Bournemouth pressure

23: Corner cleared and Kluivert then sends a deep cross out for a goal kick.

AND AGAIN - THREE CHANCES NOW FOR DCL

19: Free header straight at Petrovic. Could have had a hat-trick. Bogle brilliant this time, ball into Aaronson who hooks it to DCL, free header in the middle of the box straight at the keeper.

HUGE CHANCE LEEDS

18: DCL again, good save from Petrovic, after fine work from Gudmundsson down the left - won the ball, sent in a cross, Longstaff directed it back to DCL and his attempt was well saved. But still should have scored. Not much power in the shot, more of a flick.

Bournemouth booking

13: Jimenez pulled back Gudmundsson as Leeds looked to break. Two important interceptions from Bogle beforehand as Semenyo almost got in. Finely poised.

Bogle v Semenyo

7: Down that side of the pitch looks like being a key battle. Adams getting huge boos from all round the ground when he gets the ball.

It’s frantic

5: Christie wallops a shot over the bar from the edge of the box after a Semenyo lay off and long Evanilson run, Aaronson led a Leeds charge beforehand but ran into trouble. Feels like goals here. Bournemouth then win a corner but Christie smashes another one over from the edge of the box.

Underway!

CHANCE LEEDS! Should be 1-0. DCL one on one, Petrovic saves. One on one from an angle but a great chance, after a lovely flick from Aaronson. DCL shot across Petrovic but weak finish and an easy enough save. Semenyo then puts a long throw into the mixer which causes a scramble but Leeds survive.

Here we go!!!!
