CLOSE! From a Harrison free-kick on the left, the ball drops back out to the edge of the area. After taking a touch to open up the angle, Summerville loops a deflected shot just over the crossbar and earns his side a corner.

Dewsbury-Hall is down on the turf receiving treatment for the effects of a blow to the face. That halts the action and eats further into the clock from a Leicester perspective. As things stand, they'll be off the bottom of the table in around 10 minutes time.

Leeds seem to be lacking a little belief in the opposition half, and hopes of a late fightback appear to be diminshing by the minute. In general play, they've perhaps been the better side, but that will count for nothing if they can't find a goal.

Having drifted inside from the touchline, an ambitious attempt from the right side of the area sees Rodrigo flash a 20-yard shot well wide of the left-hand post. That was not the best option, and represents another poor choice from a Leeds player in the final third.
