Lowton hit by bottle from crowdpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022
Leeds 1-1 Burnley
Conor McNamara
BBC Radio 5 live at Elland RoadA full bottle of fizzy drink has hit Matthew Lowton full in the face during those celebrations. That would have had weight on it, it's smacked him in the face.
Scenes like that is what's going to lead to queues coming in, searches for whether people have drinks, removing bottle tops, it's so unnecessary. There is absolutely no reason to do that.

It looks like Matt Lowton got hit by something thrown from the stands during the celebrations.
He's OK, but not what you want to see at all.

Ivan Toney has faded away from his good start this season. Really thought he would be a stand out player most of the season.

Bertrand Traore in on goal and ripples the net...from the wrong side.
He was a couple of yards offside anyway.

Maxwel Cornet (54 mins)
Impact!
What a free kick from the substitute Maxwel Cornet as he bends the ball from over 30 yards into the back of the net.
Just what the visitors had been missing.

Sergi Canos went down earlier holding his hamstring and he cannot continue.
Saman Ghoddos comes on to replace the Spaniard.

Don't give him space, whatever you do.
Emiliano Buendia scored in the reverse game with a delightful curling strike and almost does it again but this time his shot skips wide.

Anthony Gordon
The hosts are back in it!
This is all Anthony Gordon as he cuts in from the right and fires a low shot that takes a heavy deflection off Adam Lallana and into the back of the net.
Game on!

Leeds 1-0 Burnley
Leeds are looking a bit more like the Leeds of old with their attacks as they break quickly, the ball is worked across the edge of the box for Tyler Roberts, who initially slips but still managers to pop off a shot that goes over the bar.

He has a goal, but Dan Burn is doing his defensive duties as well as he deflects behind a decent Dominic Calvert-Lewin effort.
Everton looking to respond at the start of this second half.

Will he be happy with what he has seen from his side so far?

There's a change for Burnley for the second half as Maxwel Cornet is on for Johann Gudmundsson.
A bit more for the Leeds defence to think about.

Phil: What does Benitez actually bring to this team? We don't score enough goals and don't keep clean sheets. We don't play possession football and don't counterattack. We don't do anything well except lose!!

Michael Brown
Former Leeds midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveJack Harrison needed that goal. There's been a little bit of criticism towards him, he was wonderful last year, he's had a couple of injuries and come back in. He'll be delighted to get on the scoresheet.
He anticipated where the ball was going and he showed determination, he followed James Tarkowski all the way to the box.

I'd be very surprised if Leeds or even Everton fall into bottom 3 but they had better watch out. Having stubborn managers who won't change is not an attribute when you're in the relegation zone.

Former Leeds midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveMarcelo Bielsa finally got a bit of a break, some respite for his players, and you can see the intensity, the energy, the endeavour, the forward wins - they've had some wasted opportunities but he'll be delighted to go in at half-time at 1-0.

Everton are massively benefitting from teams below them (Norwich, Watford, Newcastle) being so poor otherwise they'd be in some deep relegation trouble!
