Leeds under-21s v Chelsea under-21s recap
Chance Leeds
13: Great pass by McGurk behind George for Allen whose cross is deflected twice for a corner, looked like being an own goal until the second clearance, corner cleared
More good defending
17: By Moore and then Allen to clear twice as George threatens again, another corner
Huge chance Chelsea, should be 0-2
18: Free header for Blues captain Gilchrirst at the near post from the corner, a few yards out but flicks it over. Yells as he runs back as he knows he should have scored.
Yet another corner
20: Cleared, Leeds break but Allen's pass is cut out and he screams in frustration, Chelsea come again but Mullen clears George's cross. Tyrique George, 17, looks a real talent. England under-18s international playing right wing. Hard game this.
Chance Leeds, big call
22: Allen was in down the left, beats Wilson and in on goal, Wilson brings him down, but only a yellow card. There was a covering defender but Allen could have squared for Joseph so it was a big chance. McGurk free kick cleared for a corner
CHANCE LEEDS
24: Mullen header wide from the corner, next goal key here. Could be a long old afternoon if Chelsea get it
CHANCE LEEDS
24: Leeds break three on two, McGurk slips in Allen whose low drive is deflected behind for a corner which is wasted as McGurk's delivery sails out of play
The second goal
27: Leeds were threatening on the edge of the Chelsea box through McGurk who was twisting and turning but Chelsea won the ball and worked a lovely through ball for Stutter down the right, chased by Mullen but sends a low cross for Washington to convert at the far post again. McGurk showing his frustration.
