Leeds United v Barnsley LIVE: Sinisterra and Klich fire Whites into first-half lead
Even bigger tackles
17’ Another few big tackles, this time involving Forshaw, Greenwood and Kitching. The noise reverberated around the ground. Kitching and Forshaw both to their feet in an instant.
Barnsley come back
14’ Josh Benson with a troubling run through the middle tries to find Luke Thomas on the left who inadvertently plays it out for a goal kick.
Drameh started strong for Leeds, winning tackles in every third. Still 0-0.
Biiiiig tackles
11’ Big cheer for Cody Drameh who flies into two tackles one after the other. Wins the ball both times and Klich tries a scoop over the Barnsley backline for Sinisterra. Goalkeeper Walton gathers.
8’ First sustained possession in Barnsley’s half from Leeds and it’s zipped about between several players. Klich with some nice touches, before Greenwood pass out to Drameh is a little too heavy.
