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)

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.

We’re back underway

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.

30 - Goal Leeds (3-0)

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.

23 - Goal Leeds (2-0)

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

Rodrigo sends a dangerous low effort hurtling towards the bottom corner, but Chris Maxwell gets down well to turn it around the post.

Kenny Dougall is back up and running and the game resumes. Phew.
