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)

Kenny Dougall requires medical treatment after a challenge with a Leeds player. Looked to have hurt himself on the turf before the tackle even occurred.

Great chance for Brad Holmes, sweeping wide from Rob Apter's pullback. Sonny Carey instrumental in creating the chance.

I feel a bit sorry for Rob Apter here. He’s a cracking forward player but he’s definitely not a right-back. Leeds are having plenty of joy down their left as a result.

10 - Goal Leeds (1-0)

A ball across the face of the six-yard box is tapped home by Robin Koch.

Joe Gelhardt has the ball in the back of the net for Leeds but it's ruled out for offside.

Richard Keogh makes an important block to deny Junior Firpo. Leeds have started strongly.

Kenny Dougall gets the game started.

Up the mighty Pool!

Both teams are now out, with kick-off confirmed for 7.10pm.

Considering tonight’s game is supposed to be a sellout, the ground is barely half full at the moment. Wouldn’t be surprised if the delay lasts longer than 10 minutes.
