  2. Brighton 4-0 Leedspublished at 45 mins

    We'll have three minutes of added time at the end of the first half.

    Needless to say, most of the stoppages have come from the goals.

    The half is petering out slightly. Maybe that's to be expected after four goals in the opening period...

  4. Brighton 4-0 Leedspublished at 43 mins

    I wonder what kind of words Leeds boss Steve Evans will be putting together for his side?

    He'll need the mother of all half-time team-talks to conjure a comeback.

    GOAL (Dunk)published at 38 mins

    Brighton 4-0 Leeds

    Well, well, well, Brighton have their fourth of the evening. The Seagulls are rampant.

    Lewis Dunk rises high above Sol Bamba from an inswinging Dale Stephens corner, and powers a header into the top corner.

    That's the defender's first goal of the season.

    Leeds boss Steve Evans is incredulous on the touchline. Surely there is no way back for the visitors?

  8. Brighton 3-0 Leedspublished at 36 mins

    Brighton look content to let Leeds have possession and try to pick them off on the counter-attack.

    Tomer Hemed and Sam Baldock have been putting Leeds centre-backs Sol Bamba and Liam Cooper under pressure all evening.

  9. YELLOW CARD (Mowatt & Baldock)published at 33 mins

    Brighton 3-0 Leeds

    Alex Mowatt becomes the first Leeds player into the book for a heavy challenge on Tomer Hemed.

    Brighton striker Sam Baldock took exception to the challenge and shoved Mowatt in the chest, sparking a bit of a confrontation.

    He also gets a yellow for his troubles.

    Think a few Leeds fans might agree with BBC Radio Leeds' Katherine Hannah's view here...

  11. Brighton 3-0 Leedspublished at 30 mins

    Liam Cooper comes close to getting one back for Leeds, but can't connect cleanly with a header from a corner and the ball flashes past him.

    Leeds are still committing plenty of players forward in hope of a way back into the game.

    GOAL (Hemed)published at 28 mins

    Brighton 3-0 Leeds

    A breathless few minutes and Brighton have their third of the evening.

    Anthony Knockaert latches on to a quickly-taken free-kick from inside the centre circle inside the Leeds box.

    Sol Bamba tries to clear but the ball only goes as far as Tomer Hemed, who controls and shoots low past Marco Silvestri for his second of the evening.

    At least the visitors have plenty of time to mount a comeback....

    At the other end, United midfielder Toumani Diagouraga thrashes a shot wide from just outside the area.

    Leeds are yet to have a shot on target in the match.

  14. Brighton 2-0 Leedspublished at 25 mins

    Leeds are getting carved open and Marco Silvestri is called into action again.

    This time it's Jamie Murphy, shooting low from the edge of the area after being played in by Anthony Knockaert.

    Sol Bamba gives the ball away to Sam Baldock midway inside the Leeds half and the striker bears down on the Leeds box.

    Baldock gets the ball back from Dale Stephens and looks to poke the ball across the area, but the ball takes a big deflection past Marco Silvestri and into the net.

    The last touch came off Liam Cooper and it will probably go down as an own goal.

    Can Leeds recover after these quick-fire goals from the hosts?

  16. Brighton 1-0 Leedspublished at 21 mins

    A good save from Leeds stopper Marco Silvestri has kept it at 1-0.

    The Seagulls work a shooting opportunity from a free-kick on the corner of the box, and the Italian turns behind Beram Kayal's low shot, which was heading for the bottom corner.

    Brighton's top scorer Tomer Hemed steps up and makes no mistake from the spot.

    The Israel international sends Marco Silvestri the wrong way and dinks the ball to the goalkeeper's left.

    By no means a full Panenka-style penalty but decent skill from the striker and that's his 10th goal of the season.

  18. PENALTY TO BRIGHTONpublished at 17 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Leeds

    Brighton left-back Liam Rosenior makes good progress down the left wing and taps the ball into the penalty box.

    After a bit of a tussle with Scott Wootton both players go down and referee Peter Bankes points to the spot. Penalty to Brighton.

    There haven't been any clear-cut openings for either side so far, but winger Jamie Murphy has looked dangerous for Brighton, putting in a couple of teasing crosses to test the Leeds defence.

  20. Brighton 0-0 Leedspublished at 13 mins

    Leeds youngster Lewie Coyle goes down holding his head following a high boot from Liam Rosenior.

    The Brighton defender's eyes were always on the ball so the referee decides against a booking, but Rosenior won't have too many lives after that early caution.
