Despite an excellent first-half performance, the League One hosts were ultimately outclassed by their visitors from the top flight.

29 min: Nothing of note comes from the set-piece and Leeds go on the attack again. The teams go into the dressing-room for their half-time brew with Leeds in front courtesy of a real moment of quality from Jack Harrison, whose second goal of the season was a real beauty. There’s a mite too much weight on the delivery and the Colombian can’t quite connect despite stretching every sinew. It’s a very feeble effort that doesn’t trouble Savin in the slightest. Accrington get the ball forward, it’s crossed from the right and breaks kindly for Harvey Rodgers in the penalty area. Bamford rises to his feet with a big grin on his face. The goal came against the run of play following an excellent start by Accrington Stanley, who can be very proud of their first half effort and will be convinced they can claw their way back into this game. 46 min: Shaun Whalley wins a free-kick for his team moments after kick-off, drawing a foul from just inside the Leeds half. Not for the first time in this match, Ilan Meslier comes for the ball but drops it. With Harvey Rodgers playing everyone in white onside, Jack Harrison runs on to a ball down the left channel. A quickfire double from Junior Firpo and Luis Sinesterra put the tie beyond Accrington, who did at least bag a consolation goal when the young substitute Leslie Adekoya scored with his first touch of the game moments after taking to the field. Rather than connect with the bouncing ball he catches Harvey Rodegers with a high boot.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, there is 'optimism' that the Juventus midfielder will make the move to Elland Road and that there was a ...
