Leeds goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald takes an absolute age to take a free-kick and is booked.

The visitors are not going to be rushing much with 20 minutes or so left.

Meanwhile at the other end Lamine Kone is shown a yellow card for a handball just outside the box.

Dangerous free-kick...

Ipswich scored a goal in each half to earn a 2-0 victory against Brentford. Their fourth Championship win in four games takes them up to second place in the table.

Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy: "It was a thoroughly professional performance against a very good side. Everyone put in a shift and I could praise everybody. Bart [Bialkowski] made the saves when needed and it was just a whole team performance.

"Last season we didn't look like scoring at all and we do this year. It's lovely for the lads, for me and the supporters to see goals go in. They are a threat and it's great to see."

Sunderland have improved 10-fold since the break, but there's still no cutting edge.

Where's the inspiration going to come from? Leeds are digging in.

Geoff Ramm: He's more Aluminium than Steele! Can't see Grayson sticking with our keeper for much longer

Yep, Caleb Ekuban is done.

The Leeds forward hobbles off aided by a couple of physios and is replaced by Stuart Dallas.

Sunderland 0-1 Leeds

Ooh, something has pinged there.

Leeds striker Caleb Ekuban tries to race onto a through ball but pulls up sharpish.

He's now down on the turf and in trouble.

One thing that you can't fault the Sunderland players for after the break is their passion.

They're all over Leeds every time they get the ball.

The fans have noticed too - they're now in fine voice.

Still no clear cut chances in this second half for the hosts though.

It's a double switch for the hosts.

James Vaughan is replaced by Wahbi Khazri and Brendan Galloway limps off and on comes Adam Matthews.

The official attendance has just been announced - 31,237.

The mad thing is, the Stadium of Light looks half empty it's that big.

Meanwhile - Sunderland are about to make their first changes...

Leeds have started this second half as they ended the first - on the front foot.

Ergjan Alioski is looking dangerous down the right once again but this time there is no way through.

Sunderland boss Simon Grayson certainly isn't smiling now.

His side have been pretty poor since Samuel Saiz put Leeds in front on 21 minutes.

Leeds get the second half under way.

Who's going to be the hero? If Leeds hold on it will be their first victory at the Stadium of Light since 2004.

Still plenty of hard work to do though.

How are Sunderland going to get back into this after the break then Black Cats fans?

Leeds supporters, are you impressed by what you've seen from Ergjan Alioski so far?

Derby County manager Gary Rowett: "The first 45 minutes were probably the best 45 minutes of football we have had since we came back to the club. Another goal would have put the gloss on it. The fact we didn't made the game edgy in the second half. We started the second half a bit sloppily and made a few poor decisions.

"Nugent is a brilliant all-round player for us in the Championship. Not only can he score goals but his work-rate is tireless. His finishes were great."

Conor Hourihane grabbed a hat-trick as Aston Villa beat Norwich City 4-2 to ease the pressure on boss Steve Bruce. Villa's first Championship victory of the season came at the fourth attempt.

Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce told BBC WM: “It's ridiculous, after a week, that people are starting to question you. Yes, we've had a difficult week, results-wise. But we were close to blowing Hull away in the first game and we were very close to blowing these away. It just shows you how quickly this club can lurch in to a crisis, after a week.

“So I'm aware of it. The nonsense that's been going around is nonsense. I've got the nucleus of a decent team. I know that. We're young. Thankfully, under pressure, they've performed really, really well. We could have scored another four, if the truth be known."

Samuel Saiz's smart finish proves the difference at the break.

Lewis Grabban had Sunderland's best chance moments before the goal when his strike was headed onto the crossbar by Liam Cooper.

It's been tense and cagey at times, but an enjoyable first half.

There will be two minutes of added time in the first half.

Time for another goal?

Sunderland are losing their heads a little at the end of this first half.

Billy Jones catches Kemar Roofe late and Leeds have a free-kick 30 yards from goal.

It comes to nothing, but Leeds are looking the more likely to score at the moment.

That's pretty horrendous from the man with the craziest hair in the Championship.

Didier Ndong smashes the ball into row Z from all of 35 yards.

Moments later Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole drives low towards goal from outside the box but Felix Wiedwald gets down well to save.

That was coming.

Brendan Galloway has been given a torrid time by Ergjan Alioski and he eventually hacks him down from behind.

Out comes the yellow.
