Leeds under-21s v Chelsea under-21s recap

46: Chelsea attack again straight away

50: Charlie Allen who has been very bright works an opening on the edge of the box and fires just wide. Just needs that end product here but probably the best Leeds midfielder/attacker on show today.

Chelsea paid £17.1m (€20m) to sign him from Santos on a seven year deal, a different world.

Late challenge, booked

54: Charlie Crew caught Rak-Sakyi with a late one in the middle of the park, no malice in it but a yellow all day long

55: On top since the restart, Allen buzzing about and seeing loads of the ball down the left where McGurk wins a free kick

56: McGurk free kick flies through the area and behind for a corner after a small deflection

59: Stutter pulls a shot wide after being played in by the hat-trick seeking Washington who himself could have had a shot

63: For taking out Washington as he flew down the left, hard to know who got there first, Debayo furious and says he won the ball

67: Duberry on for Boniface

67: Very vocal as he orders more movement from the men in front of him
