Leeds United v Blackpool: Updates from York City's LNER Community Stadium

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.

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.

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.

Half-time sub Owen Dale lashes a volley towards goal but he doesn’t quite catch it and a Leeds defender is able to head away.

Leeds get the game back underway.

Blackpool's second-half XI is: Grimshaw, Moore, Ekpiteta, Tharme, Apter, Connolly, Dale, Anderson, Lubala, Hamilton, Lavery

Tough half for the Seasiders, who have made life more difficult for themselves than needed with some lax defending.

Sonny Carey has looked bright again in glimpses, Josh Bowler more threatening than at Southport.

Luke Garbutt almost catches out the keeper at his near post, but Illan Meslier gets down to make the save.

A decent build-up from Pool though.

It's a third for Leeds as Rodrigo slams home after more calamitous defending. Chris Maxwell was left on his own against two players in his own six-yard box.

Early change for Blackpool, as Jack Moore replaces Brad Holmes. Allows Rob Atper to move further forward to the left of the front three.

Apter's a cracking player, but he's not a right-back.

The ball drops to Gary Madine in the Leeds box after Sonny Carey’s corner was partially cleared, but the striker’s shot is charged down.

Junior Firpo flicks home unopposed inside the six-yard box from a Leeds corner. Poor defending again.
