33 mins: Chance! Ashley Westwood gets free on the right wing and chips a pacey cross into the back post. Meslier misjudges the flight of the ball but Luke Ayling does enough to distract Chris Wood who heads the ball over the bar.

30 mins: Ben Mee sends a long free kick into the box for Burnley. Tarkowski is the target and his header loops to Meslier. Leeds punt the ball long and Mee makes a mistkae by passing the ball to Raphinha. He runs into the box, pulls it back to Harrison whose shot then hits Bamford and bounces away.

21 mins: I’m not sure what more Ben Mee could do there. His back is to goal and he’s looking at the ball. He jumps to win the header and Meslier comes over the top of him and drops the ball. Mee didn’t even know the goalkeeper was on his way and the decision has gone Leeds’ way. Sean Dyche is not happy on the sidelines.

20 mins: A Burnley free kick in the middle of the pitch is sent forward into the box. Illan Meslier comes to claim the aerial ball and jumps over Ben Mee who is trying to win the ball. Meslier drops the ball and it’s picked up by Ashley Barnes who fires it into the open net. The whistle is blown before that though as referee Robert Jones says Mee had fouled the goalkeeper. Reprieve for Leeds.

17 mins: Jack Harrison chips a ball over the top of the Burnley back line as Raphinha makes a darting run into the penalty area. He meets the pass with a header and sends it over the goal. The offside flag then goes up but it’s a close call. The VAR rulers would have been out had he scored.

15 mins: A Burnley free kick is whipped into the box from the left wing. Illan Meslier comes out to claim the ball and punches it confidently away. Leeds attempt to play the ball out from the back and Alioski is fouled by Josh Benson.

12 mins: Rodrigo receives the ball in midfield and turns quickly getting behind the Burnley midfield line. He drives at the centre-backs and attempts to play Bamford in behind but he gets his pass all wrong and the ball comes to Pope.
