This is how we saw things when the game finished.

0:31.6

37 more battles to come, but Leeds United have won the first.

0:40.3

And Daniel Farger delighted that it was one of his substitutes that came up with a crucial moment. Ice school from the penalty spot with only his third touch in a Leeds United shirt.

I brought Everton and the second half came into the game. into theified leads a little bit and I just felt like the game was sort of drifting really to a nil-nill.

2:38.2

So David Mooges, as you can see, is so disappointed at the end of the game.

2:34.3
