Southampton players surround the referee but he is not going to change his decision.

There was a blow of the whistle from Andre Mariner, but when did it come? Before the free-kick was taken or just after?

Get the sound experts in to have a listen.

Controversy here.

Southampton take a free-kick and Che Adams latches on to James Ward-Prowse's free-kick to convert, but referee Andre Mariner says he had not blown his whistle and had told the Saints players to wait.

Daniel Stevanato: Is there an award for tackle of the season? If not, there should be and that would win hands down. Incredible defending from Romeu.

Peter Blow: It’s so rare that we get to admire a really good tackle these days. Brilliant from Romeu. And that’s coming from a Leeds fan.

Not hyping it up but that was terrific from Oriol Romeu.

That was superb, Oriol Romeu needed to time that perfectly and he did.

Raphinha is hurt after the challenge though, bruised leg or bruised ego?

WHAT.

A.

CHALLENGE!!!!

Raphinha is free on goal from the halfway line as Leeds break from a Saints free-kick.

The Brazilian cuts in and is into the box, but out of nowhere Oriol Romeu tracks back to make an inch-perfect tackle to dispossess the Leeds winger.

Michael Devlin: So, where’s the yellow card for simulation?

Robert Rutter: Please tell me if it ain't a penalty why Tella is not booked for simulation.

Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is not happy with the decision to overturn the penalty.

Someone show him a replay and calm him down, where's that tablet Patrick Bamford had earlier?

Nathan Tella should have been booked for diving though.

NO penalty.

Referee Andre Mariner has a look at the replay on a number of occasions and overturns his initial decision.

Got there in the end and that is the right decision.

Nathan Tella definitely initiates the contact, he kicks Diego Llorente rather than the other way.

Referee Andre Mariner is coming to the side of the pitch to look at the incident on the monitor.

This should be overturned.

Leeds 0-0 Southampton

Of course, VAR has a look at it.

It looks like Diego Llorente is pulling out of the challenge and Nathan Tella leaves a trailing right leg in.

Nathan Tella, the best player on the pitch, darts forward again and is tripped in the box by Diego Llorente.

Referee Andre Mariner has no hesitation in pointing to the spot.

Past the half hour mark, still 0-0.

Good job I haven't committed to any forfeits.

Jannik Vestergaard with a ball over the top and Ryan Bertrand is in on goal, but Illan Meslier makes a big save to keep out the effort.

Oh, would not have counted away, Bertrand had handled the ball while controlling it.

A training ground free-kick from Leeds and they almost go in front.

Raphinha picks out Diego Llorente in acres of space in the box, he nods it back across for Liam Cooper to flick an effort at goal which Alex McCarthy tips over the bar.

Leeds have grown into the game and are causing Southampton a few more problems now.

Tyler Roberts, after that bad miss, goes on a run but is tripped by Jannik Vestergaard.

The Saints centre-half getting the first booking of the game.

Raphinha for £17m, absolute steal.

The Brazilian is fleet-footed from the right hand side, cutting past Mohammed Salisu, who almost brings him down in the box.

But the Leeds man stays on his feet, looks up and picks out Tyler Roberts unmarked on the edge of the area, but he shanks a horrible shot into the stand.
