Leeds United U21s 4-0 Stoke City U21s highlights: Mateo Joseph hat-trick helps Whites to six unbeaten

45’ One minute added.

GOOOOOALLLL 3-0 PERKINS

43' Another close-range effort stabbed home. Joseph plays in McGurk down the left who fires it into the six-yard box. Perkins - among bodies - sorts his feet out and prods it into the net. Well-worked. He’s now scored in nine consecutive games for club and country.

33' Great work from McGurk on the left as he works his way into the area, fighting off a challenge in the process. He finds Perkins whose firm effort gets under the 'keeper but he recovers in time to smother it.

31’ Just past the half hour mark. Leeds’ pressing from the front giving Stoke problems in possession.

28' Nightmare stuff for Stoke, weathering the storm. Allen with a cute backheel into Drameh's path - he fires in another tempting cross and Joseph's movement is spot on but the ball just evades his near-post run.

25' Sonny Perkins moving through the gears from a deep central position, works a shooting opportunity and fires just over the bar. Inches.

21' McGurk with an effort from range. Not lacking in confidence. It's just wide of the mark. Leeds very much on top.

GOOOOALLLL 2-0 MATEO JOSEPH

18' A goal of his own making. Joseph chases down a heavy touch from the 'keeper, takes the ball, lays it to McGurk who finds Perkins. His effort is blocked and from a tight angle, Joseph lashes in the rebound.
