Leeds subs: Kamara, Bamford and Rutter off, Roberts, Joseph and Piroe on. 90+1. Six minutes added. #lufc
There it is. Rutter with deft skill to get in round the back, cut-back for James who has an empty net to go at but waits and waits before forcing the finish in. "We're Leeds United, we're top of the league" is the refrain. Farke punching the air. #lufc
Leeds sub: Anthony on for Summerville. 74th min. #lufc
Anthony coming on shortly. Crowd can tell that this wants a second Leeds goal. It's got a bit tense. #lufc

Massive scramble from a Millwall corner after Meslier goes for it but doesn't get it. Looks like Cooper in the end, hooking a shot wide from close range. Leeds sub: James on for Gnonto. 69th min. #lufc

Graft needed in that half but Leeds did enough to deserve their goal. That has to be a penalty. #lufc

Leeds want a penalty for a Cooper challenge on Rodon - goes into him with a knee up and seems to catch him on the chin. Very strong shout, not given. Millwall counter and win a corner. 44th min. #lufc
And another Leeds corner. Quite up for seeing one go in. 42nd min. #lufc
Millwall free-kick, Cooper on the end of it but as before, well off target with his header. 0-0 on 30 mins. #lufc
Millwall launch a free-kick into the box, Cooper gets on the end of it but nods it tamely wide. 0-0 on 20 mins. #lufc
CHANCE: More pressure from Leeds, ends with a shot from Summerville into the side-netting. Took a little deflection. Corner. 14th min. #lufc
