Leeds United dominated the match against Ipswich, with goals from Struijk, Davis (own goal), and Piroe. The first half ended 3-0 in favor of Leeds. A penalty was awarded to Leeds, and Piroe scored again, making it 4-0. Substitutions were made, and Leeds secured an emphatic win. In another match against Preston, the first half ended 0-0 with no significant events. Rutter had a chance, and McCann received a yellow card. The match remained goalless at half-time.
A bit of a non-event that half. Will need to go through the gears, Leeds, and also sort out the right side of their line-up. Preston had most joy there. #lufc
HT: Preston 0 Leeds 0. #lufc
Deflected Ampadu shot, loses its sting, comfortable take for Woodman. 0-0 on 45+3. #lufc
McCann with a shot high over the bar after Preston find a way through down the right. 0-0 on 45+2. #lufc
Preston been having the better of the last 10 minutes. They've got a corner. 40th min. #lufc
Turning into a very hard shift for Gray. Loses the ball to Browne before recovering it in the box, but then brings down Millar out wide. Free-kick coming. 37th min. #lufc
CHANCE: Millar against Gray proving Preston's best outlet. Millar twists him back and forward and then forces Meslier to tip a shot over the bar. 0-0 on 34 mins. #lufc
CHANCE: Rutter with a great run down the left, speed and skill to make room for himself, ball comes to James whose half volley is blocked. 0-0 on 33 mins. #lufc
Yellow card: McCann, for a lunge at Rutter. Didn't catch him fully but deserved a booking. 31st min. #lufc
Space opens up for Millar with Gray sucked into the centre of the pitch. Tries to lash one into the top corner but pings it high into the away end. 0-0 on 30 mins. #lufc
Ten minutes without any major dramas at either end. One low cross from Liam Millar which Leeds dealt with. Shot from Alan Browne blocked outside the box. 0-0. #lufc
Rampant Leeds make their point with emphatic win to close gap on Ipswich https://t.co/BMFem45b71
Leeds subs: Rutter and Piroe off, Joseph and Bamford on. 82nd min. #lufc
Leeds subs: Kamara (arguably MOTM to this point) and Spence off, Gruev and Firpo on. Seen some real quality from Spence today (not that it wasn't always there). 73rd min. #lufc
Ipwich in disarray again as Leeds nick the ball and go at the them, again from deep. Ball eventually falls to Piroe who steadies himself and smashes in a finish from 12 yards. Hladky no chance. 4-0 on 53 mins. #lufc
Third-placed Leeds are 3-0 up at half-time against second-placed Ipswich! š #BBCFootball https://t.co/GomuYzTbgw
You wondered who'd turn up for this, and Leeds really have. Standing ovation as the whistle goes for the break. Ipswich made to look a distant second best in that half. #lufc
HT: Leeds 3 Ipswich 0. #lufc
Davis, again. Trips Summerville after Leeds counter and James plays Summerville in. Contact. Fair call. Piroe takes... 44th min. #lufc
LEEDS PENALTY #lufc
Leeds have corner. 40th min. #lufc
Big challenge from Spence on Burns, scrapping for the ball, kind of epitomising the commitment to this half. Leeds been very aggressive when Ipswich have the ball. 2-0 on 37 mins. #lufc
2-0 Leeds. Summerville with a trademark run, into the danger zone on the left, cuts the ball back across goal and Davis turns it into his own net. Couldn't resist the temptation to flick a leg at it. #lufc
Leif Davis likes to commit forward and Leeds have been trying to exploit that by working possession to James when they get the chance. 21 minutes in. 1-0. #lufc
Leeds United take an early lead! Captain Pascal Struijk reacts quickest after Vaclav Hladky denies Joel Piroe. It's only the second corner Ipswich have conceded from this season. #LUFC | #ITFC š„ @SkyFootball https://t.co/sbHgBIejir
Leeds' pressing been good so far, keeping Ipswich very honest at the back. #lufc
Summerville leads the counter, Spence carries it on and Leeds have their first corner. 8th min. #lufc
Been homing in on this fixture for a while. Leeds to kick off. #lufc
