Events

Match Events

  • 15' The travelling Blackburn Rovers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' What a strike from Patrick Bamford! The score is 0-1.
  • 35' Jack Harrison has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 35 minutes.
  • 40' GOAL! Derrick Williams fires home to make it 0-3!
  • 45' It looks like no one’s ball. Blackburn Rovers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 50' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Leeds United FC and Blackburn Rovers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 54' The referee calls foul for Derrick Williams. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 59' It’s high time Marcelo Bielsa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 60' Danny Graham gets the nod from Blackburn Rovers FC. He replaces Adam Armstrong and will look to change the dynamic.

He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Lewis Holtby suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' Time for substitution for Leeds United AFC. Jack Harrison is replaced by Leif Davis.
