GOAL GIVEN
56′ Leeds United 2-2 Manchester United
After a VAR check for a foul on Fernandes, the goal stands. What a final 30+ minutes we’re in for.

IT’S 2-2! RAPHINHA EQUALISES!
54′ Leeds United 2-2 Manchester United
Two goals in two minutes for Leeds! They’re right back in it now. It’s Raphinha who taps Daniel James’ cross in at the back!

GOAL! Rodrigo 2-1!
53′ Leeds United 1-2 Manchester United
LEEDS ARE BACK IN IT! It’s a cross-cum-shot and it loops over De Gea into the back of the net. No doubt the rain helped him scuff the cross and into the back of the net. Elland Road has lift off!

Ronaldo straight at meslier
51′ Leeds United 0-2 Manchester United
But it wouldn’t count anyway, he was a good yard or two offside.

The ball is seriously struggling
48′ Leeds United 0-2 Manchester United
Early indications are that players will struggle to get the ball down and play. The rain has had a real impact on the ground.

Second half coming up
The rain is coming down.
It’s apparently getting even worse at Elland Road and officials are testing to see how well the ball rolls.

HT: Leeds 0-2 Man United
That’s all for the first half and United go into the interval with a two-goal lead. Bruno Fernandes and the captain, Harry Maguire, with the goals.
It’s been an entertaining opening 45 with some cracking tackles and a great tempo. If Leeds can pull one back, expect Elland Road to get behind them.

SIX added minutes in the first half
45+1′ Leeds United 0-1 Manchester United
Both teams probably just excited to get out of the rain for a brief period of time!

Mix-up between Meslier and Llorente
43′ Leeds United 0-1 Manchester United
Miscommunication between Llorente and Meslier leads to a corner for United which fails to trouble Bielsa’s men.

Sancho fires high
39′ Leeds United 0-1 Manchester United
He picked the ball up on the left but flashed an effort over the bar. United been good since they went a goal up but Leeds hanging on until the break.

MAN UNITED HAVE SCORED FROM A CORNER! 0-1
34′ Leeds United 0-1 Manchester United
This is not a drill. Man United have finally scored from a header. On their 139th attempt! It’s Harry Maguire, the skipper, who attacks it well and guides it past Meslier.

Koch not able to continue
31′ Leeds United 0-0 Manchester United
He looked a bit groggy towards the end there and he limps off the pitch.
Junior Firpo comes on.

HUGE CHANCE!
26′ Leeds United 0-0 Manchester United
It’s a wonderful piece of skill from Pogba on the left wing and he then picks out Ronaldo in the box. Ronaldo can’t quite drag the ball from behind him and his scuffed effort is saved by Meslier.
It was a big chance for Ronaldo.

Meslier gifts United an opportunity
25′ Leeds United 0-0 Manchester United
His misplaced pass out the back was capitalised on by Sancho who then found Fernandes open in the middle of the pitch. The Portuguese midfielder then slipped in McTominay who couldn’t control the ball and the play broke down.

De Gea’s first involvement
22′ Leeds United 0-0 Manchester United
It’s Forshaw who rockets an attempt right at the Spanish goalkeeper who does well to punch away from danger.

Fernandes frustrated
21′ Leeds United 0-0 Manchester United
The Portuguese midfielder was on the receiving end of a late challenge which was unpunished.

McTominay draws blood
12′ Leeds United 0-0 Manchester United
McTominay thumps into the Leeds midfielder and he’s down receiving treatment.
