  • 4' The referee has no hesitation. Ben White is booked for Leeds United AFC — Yellow card on 4.
  • 9' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
