SECOND HALF – HEATH SAVES PENALTY AS BOTH TEAMS SEE RED
Our rivals from across the Pennines were ruthlessly beaten 13-1 on their last visit to Carrington in April, but Rob Etherington’s side were a much tougher proposition on this occasion.
Continuing to apply pressure as the action resumed, as Ibragimov and Bailey seeing shots from just outside the area blocked by the Leeds defence, United had more defending to do of our own as the Whites improved as an attacking force.
Leeds were awarded a penalty by referee Daniel Halton in the 70th minute, when Jacob Render was adjudged to have been fouled by Jacob Watson, but White’s effort was brilliantly kept out down to his right by Heath. Shortly after, Render’s close-range header from Kenneth Mensah’s cross struck the outside the post.
