Leeds have a free-kick just outside the box #LEESOU https://t.co/JvZ9XQNF6X
Free kick right on the edge of the box after Harwood-Bellis brings down Rutter. Summerville to take. 51 played, #lufc 0-1 #saintsfc
Rutter fouled on the very edge of Saints' box, Harwood-Bellis booked for the foul. Summerville going to whip this in. 52nd min. #lufc
Summerville's shot goes wide. This is better from Leeds #LEESOU https://t.co/JvZ9XQN7hp
CHANCE: Rodon of all people comes up with the ball in Saints box, looks like he'll finish but Harwood-Bellis sticks a foot in. Summerville then curls a finish not far wide of the far post. Better. 0-1 on 50 mins. #lufc
Just wide! Rodon with an unreal carry up the pitch before a one-two with Gnonto. Ball drops to Summerville and he curls a shot wide. 49 mins played, #lufc 0-1 #saintsfc
Edozie gets around Firpo and into the box, Bednarek tries to shoot but his effort is blocked. 0-1 on 49 mins. #lufc

What does Daniel Farke need to do at half time? π¬ #LEESOU
Leeds have looked committed but also like a not very well coached team in that first half.
Southampton are halfway there #LEESOU https://t.co/JvZ9XQNF6X
β° HT at Wembley Stadium Leeds 0-1 Southampton π₯ What did you make of that half? π€ π» Commentary - https://t.co/VJgUHnqdM1 #BringItOn #EFL
Leeds created nothing of note in that half and have got to go through the gears very quickly. Southampton nicked the sort of goal they've been scoring against Leeds all season, and they've had the chances. #lufc
Downes skips over a couple of lunging Leeds tackles and plays in Armstrong, who has his shot blocked and behind for a corner. Meslier up to punch it away and that's the end of the first half. #lufc 0-1 #saintsfc

Close! Southampton with a nifty free kick routine as Smallbone slips in Armstrong but Leeds scramble away a loose ball in the box. 5 minutes added on in this half. Still #lufc 0-1 #saintsfc
Chance: Southampton with a quick free-kick to Armstrong, he turns and shoots in space. Meslier parries and fortunately, no Saints player is there to tap it in. 0-1 on 45+1. #lufc
Yellow card: Summerville catches Harwood-Bellis as Leeds try to attack, got the ball but studs were up. 44th min. #lufc
Corner to Leeds after a bit of Summerville trickery down at the byline. McCarthy up with a big punch to clear, Leeds get it back in the mixer and Kamara is judged to have hand balled it. 40 mins gone, #lufc 0-1 #saintsfc
This is the third time Leeds and Southampton have faced each other this season. Adam Armstrong has now scored in all three games! He's put them ahead in the Championship play-off final. #BBCFootball #LEESOU https://t.co/3vMoE4MIqu

Southampton corner, Leeds get it away on the break with Arche Gray but he doesn't get the ball into the middle right and Saints recover. David Brooks down for treatment 28 mins gone #lufc 0-1 #saintsfc
Massive chance for Leeds to counter from a Southampton corner, they're four on two but Gray gets the ball forward all wrong. Saints recover. 0-1 on 28 mins. #lufc

GOAL Southampton - Armstrong
GOAL: 1-0 Southampton, Armstrong
Decent cross in from Gray but it's out of Summerville's reach. After a wobbly start, Southampton growing into this one but Leeds still look more assured. 22 mins #lufc 0-0 #saintsfc
Good pressing and discipline from Leeds with Southampton in possession. Saints sucked into a foul on Summerville eventually, which gets a round of applause from Ampadu and Firpo. 0-0 on 22 mins. #lufc
Southampton free kick just outside Leeds' box π #LEESOU https://t.co/sAoACDsXgo
Out of nowhere, Saints click and Armstrong is into the Leeds box. Big danger, but he goes for a cut-back and Leeds recover in time. 0-0 on 12 mins. #lufc
Southampton not looking convincing so far, Leeds quick to press and force mistakes. Then again, I'd be shitting myself too with this atmosphere so some wobbles for one team or another seem inevitable. 9 mins gone #lufc 0-0 #saintsfc
Smallbone brings down Summerville, top left corner of the box. Free kick for Leeds with Gruev and Summerville both stood over it. 5 mins gone #lufc 0-0 #saintsfc
