Leeds United vs Brentford

Minute-by-minute report: Will Leeds get a much-needed win, or will Brentford continue to surge up the table? Join Alex Hess.

Love the spirit and craziness of Leeds, and Toney registered a glorious hat-trick (penalty, free-kick, long-range chip) in the reverse fixture in September and the smart money would surely be on his side coming out on top today. Thomas Frank brings in Rico Henry and Mads Roerslev, who will likely man the flanks either side of a back three. The assumes the role of teacher, scolding the both of them and sending them on their way. 12 mins: Jensen is caught dilly-dallying on the ball on the edge of his own box and as Aaronson drives into the area, he’s brought down by Norgaard. [Brentford](https://www.theguardian.com/football/brentford) attack and fizzes the ball into the feet of Rodrigo to spark a counter. and bloots it straight out of play for a goal kick. Adams and Jensen tussle for possession on the sideline and turn it into a full-on playground shoving match once the ball has gone out of play. Faced with the choice to shoot from an angle or send it square for a Toney tap-in, he opts for the latter but Koch has spotted it and lunges in to intercept at the final moment. The return pass is a touch too strong though and the attack fizzles out after he’s forced wide. A deep cross from Roerslev sails just over Toney but falls to the feet of Henry, who’s arriving into the box from the left. The striker picks out Harrison with a great first-time ball but the midfielder, with acres to run into, takes a painfully heavy touch and loses possession.
