Leeds United U21s 4-0 Stoke City U21s highlights: Mateo Joseph hat-trick helps Whites to six unbeaten
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.
McGurk’s making
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.
Still 2-0
31’ Just past the half hour mark. Leeds’ pressing from the front giving Stoke problems in possession.
Combination play
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.
Warming up
25' Sonny Perkins moving through the gears from a deep central position, works a shooting opportunity and fires just over the bar. Inches.
Dominant
21' McGurk with an effort from range. Not lacking in confidence. It's just wide of the mark. Leeds very much on top.
