Confusion here at first as Tomas Soucek puts the ball in the net after Illan Meslier comes together with Michail Antonio. Referee Kevin Friend didn't look to make a decision at all, allowing the Hammers to believe they've scored and Leeds furious at what they think is a foul.

Presumably, Friend was waiting for VAR to come to his aid. It does, and after a quick look at the footage the goal is not given. I don't think it was even given in the first place.

The Leeds fans then explode as they are shown Antonio's arm in Meslier's face via a replay. Just a yellow card for the striker.

It's suddenly got very feisty. Rollercoaster of emotion for both sets of fans.

Now Michail Antonio leaves Leeds defender Liam Cooper on the floor with another stray elbow. No punishment this time.

Ashley Westwood stamps on Youri Tielemans' foot as he skips past him. He's into the book.

He was definitely impeded, when he went up for the header I thought it was a fair challenge from the position that we were in.

However from watching the replay, it is an elbow to the chin.

You can here the reaction around the stadium as they show it on the screen - is that even allowed anymore?!

It was purely accidental it wasn't malicious.

I don't think it was intentional, I don't think there was malice in it. That is what you get from Michail Antonio, he is rough and he is ready. He has He has just challenged for the ball.

Seeing it on the replay, his elbow has caught him flush in the nose.

Yerry Mina is inches away from the free-kick and it bounces off Joshua Sargent at the back post and rolls into his keeper's arms.

Joshua King turns and shoots over the bar from outside the box for Watford. He hasn't scored a league goal for anyone since July 2020.

Ozan Kabak needs to be careful. He's already on a yellow and he's just caught Demarai Gray.

Illan Meslier has to change his shirt because of the blood. He has a big ball of tissue/bandage in his mouth.

To make matters worse, Michail Antonio is booked for the foul. Leeds fans chant 'off, off, off'.

Leicester are getting closer. Harvey Barnes, Jamie Vardy and Youri Tielemans all have the ball in the box but they're swarmed by Burnley shirts. There's no room to get a shot off and Barnes' final touch races out for a goal kick.

The goal is ruled out. Fairly straightforward decision. Usually goalkeepers get too much protection but he was hit in the face there.

Leeds 1-1 West Ham

VAR is checking this. Illan Meslier is getting treatment.

Oooh.

Grant Hanley and Yerry Mina both miss the ball, before it's flicked wide by Ben Gibson, who looked like he wasn't expecting it to reach him.

It suits them the way that West Ham are now leaving space behind.

This is some great one touch football by Leeds.

West Ham strong in their defending.

Lucas Digne is in the book for a late challenge on Max Aarons after the Norwich man had beaten him on the byline.

Dwight McNeil cuts inside off the left dangerously. He's brought down by Ademola Lookman and Ashley Westwood is eyeing up the free-kick.

Leicester have been getting players forward but they just can't seem to get that final touch or final pass right.

Burnley clear the latest danger and win a free-kick in their own half which they won't rush.

Leeds have a corner, Charlie Cresswell gets a head onto it but it's deflected wide.

The resulting corner is cleared.
