FT 3-1 to Leeds. #LCFC can feel aggrieved about a couple of key moments but in reality only have themselves to blame for wasteful finishing and some poor defending at the end. The chances they have missed in the last couple of games is quite extraordinary.
Vestergaard booked for tripping Rutter right on the edge of Leicester's box. He says Rutter dived. Replays shows contact. Yellow card. 90+3. #lufc
GOAL 1-1. Substitute Connor Roberts fires home after Vestergaard flicks a deflected cross back into his path. Now Leeds sense victory. #LCFC
Basically his first act. Rutter skips into the box, and keeps an attack going. His ball deflects to Roberts, who reacts instantly and fires into the far corner. 1-1 on 81 mins. #lufc
Yellow card: Kamara for a trip on halfway. 76th min. #lufc
WOW, another big miss by #LCFC. Ricardo puts on a plate for Daka but he also shoots wide. They should be out of sight by now, but Leeds still very much alive in this game.
CHANCE: An even worse miss from Daka. My word. One on one after another Leicester attack. Bundles it past the far post. 0-1 on 73 mins. #lufc
CHANCE: Summerville after James turns away from his marker in midfield and provides some forward impetus. Summerville played in by Rutter but Leicester have numbers and are back to block. 0-1 on 67 mins. #lufc
What a chance for Mavididi to make it 2-0 but he fires wide. It has been all #LCFC for the last 10-15 mins.
CHANCE: Huuuuge miss from Mavididi, in behind Gray who puts pressure on him at the last moment but Mavididi goes for the far corner and sends it wide. That looked like 2-0 all ends up. 0-1 on 63 mins. #lufc
Meslier again, diving to save from Mavididi. Leeds being made to hang on. 0-1 on 60 mins. #lufc
CROSSBAR AND THEN OFFSIDE: Massive let off. Vestergaard header from the corner beats Meslier and hits the bar. Daka stabs in the loose ball but he flag goes up. 0-1 on 60 mins. #lufc
Leicester well on top at the moment. Another corner for them. 58th min. #lufc
SAVE: Brilliant save from Meslier, one handed to push Mavididi effort wide. Leicester turning the screw and Leeds exposed in that moment. Looked like the finish was finding the bottom corner. 0-1 on 57 mins. #lufc
A wonderful, patiemt passing move ends with Mavididi's shot being turned around the post by Meslier. #LCFC
CHANCE: Pereira a fraction away from heading in a cross from the left, just beyond him as he leapt six yards out. 0-1 on 55 mins. #lufc
Ampadu there to block again after Firpo loses the ball cheaply to Fatawu and then slips as he tries to recover. 0-1 on 55 mins. #lufc
Yellow card: Ampadu. Referee goes back for a foul on Pereira. Let play go on but Ampadu gets a caution. 53rd min. #lufc
CHANCE: Terrible pass from Winks on halfway lets Leeds counter, ball eventually comes to Rutter 20 yards out but he scoops a shot up and over. 0-1 on 50 mins. #lufc
Ampadu with an important block to deny Mavididi after Leicester worked him into space to shoot on the edge of the box. 0-1 on 49 mins. #lufc
Three big chances for Leeds but it hasn't been fluent, and well below their best. Summerville not in the game enough, nothing really worked for Rutter in that half. Contest is massively open though so no-one will be counting chickens. #lufc
Yellow card: Rodon for a late challenge on Daka. #lufc
Gruev feeds Summerville who switches onto his left foot and has a go from a difficult angle. Long odds on that and it's well wide. 0-1 on 40 mins. #lufc
Half an hour gone. Individually, Leeds haven't been on it so far. Everyone capable of playing better. Leicester been game and positive. #lufc
Vestergaard with a vital challenge to nick the ball of Summerville's toes, Summerville was in behind and looked ready to finish. 0-1 on 24 mins. #lufc
Leicester with a great attacking position but wasted by a heavy pass from Mavididi across the box. End to end in this period
CHANCE: Gnonto - unmarked on the right side of the box and has to try and bury it there. But comes inside looking for an easier finish and his eventual shot from close range is blocked. Another very good opportunity. 0-1 on 22 mins #lufc
Dewsbury-Hall goes down in the box, looking for a penalty. Ampadu doesn't touch him and isn't happy with the reaction. Play on. 0-1 on 21 mins. #lufc
Yellow card: Pereira for a tackle on Rutter. Got the ball but referee didn't like it. 19th min. #lufc
Been a bit of a nervy, sluggish start from Leeds. Have had chances, good ones for Piroe, but Leicester have been able to get themselves into this early. #lufc
CHANCE: Another big one for Piroe, misplaced header flies wide after Gnonto swings a cross to the back stick. Got that all wrong. 0-1 on 18 mins. #lufc
GOAL 1-0 #LCFC and it is from a set piece. KDH curls it to the near post where Daka flicks on and Faes finishes at the far post.
SAVE: Meslier with fingertips to nudge Daka's shot over the bar. Mavididi got away from Gray. Corner. #lufc
CHANCE: Pereira gets between Firpo and Ampadu and meets a cross from the left, weak and Meslier gathers easily. Should have done better. 0-0 on 12 mins. #lufc
Winks has a pop from range after Leicester play through the lines, nothing on it and it's wide. 0-0 on eight mins. #lufc
Gruev with a sliding tackle on Dewsbury-Hall, protests innocence but did catch KDH's ankles. Free-kick for Leicester 30 yards out. Sixth min. #lufc
CHANCE: Big one. Piroe from 12 yards out after Gnonto picks the perfect pass to play Gray down the wing. Piroe often so deadly from that range. Gets under it and it's into the South Stand. 0-0 on five mins. #lufc
First big chance falls to Leeds and Piroe but he fires over the bar from inside the area. #LCFC
After a turgid 93 minutes, Arsenal were undone by 24 seconds of naivety in which they managed to concede possession three times. Here’s exactly what happened in those chaotic final moments. @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/jgb6i2c7rP
