Newcastle United vs Leeds United LIVE: Premier League updates

Meslier makes a simple stop in his bottom-left corner, following a powerless prod at goal from Willock, who tries his luck from the brink of the box.

Newcastle’s key creative force so far, Trippier tries to release Joelinton through the centre with a long ball, but the Brazilian is caught narrowly offside.

Cooper makes a crucial intervention to deny Almiron clear access on the right side of the Leeds area, as Newcastle continue to push for an opening goal. The hosts’ chances have mainly come through set-pieces, but the general direction of play has swung their way too.

SAVE! An angled free-kick into the six-yard box from Trippier is met by the outstretched boot of Botman, but the Dutch defender is unable to steer it past Meslier, who gets down low to keep the ball out of the net!

MISS! Under pressure, Burn can’t quite connect with a nod-down into the six-yard box, before Cooper fails to get the ball completely away. It drops to Almiron on the edge of the area, but the in-form forward skews his effort well wide of the left-hand post!

Willock pulls clear of Koch on the left, but Forshaw drops back just in time to help his defensive colleagues with a late block and forces the ball behind for a corner.

Scrambling into action, Burn somehow contrives a last-gasp block on a low shot by Aaronson which was surely set to test Pope in the Newcastle goal.
