Key Events

  • FT: Leeds United 4-0 Blackpool
  • Seasiders take on Premier League side in their second friendly of pre-season
  • Game to take place at York City’s LNER Community Stadium (7pm kick-off)

Tough night here in York, where the step-up in quality was noticeable. But it’s another runout and another step closer to the season opener in just over three weeks.

85 - Goal Leeds (4-0)

Mateo Joseph's strike deflects past a wrongfooted Dan Grimshaw.

Shayne Lavery is denied by an excellent save after being slipped in by CJ Hamilton. Blackpool's best chance of the game that.

Callum Connolly's low effort beats the wall but skips just past the post.

76 - Shooting opportunity

Shayne Lavery fouled right on the edge of the Leeds box.

Recent development squad signing Harvey Hughes replaces Rob Apter.

Typical second-half friendly feel at the moment following a raft of changes from both sides. No flow to the game whatsoever.

Sam Greenwood curls a 25-yard free-kick a yard or two over the Blackpool crossbar.
