    The mistakes are coming thick and fast from Burnley. They've got to get composure.

    Leeds United just do it so quickly, their pressing is excellent, the turnover's really good, players are on the shoulder and making forward runs.

    Burnley have been a bit all over the place defensively since falling behind but they almost snatch an equaliser right before half time but ex-Leeds striker Chris Wood thumps his first-time effort just over.

    Now Villa are panicking.

    Jacob Ramsey screws a cross over his own crossbar and Brentford have a corner late in the half.

    Brentford have offered nothing in the final third but now almost score twice in the space of two minutes.

    Former Liverpool midfielder Sergi Canos picks the ball up down the left and swings in a vicious cross which bounces just wide of the post.

    Mark: Re Ste, Ashton. Managers shouldn’t have to provide passion, that’s the job of the players. Everton are sleep walking through the season and men on the pitch have to own that as well.

    Leeds 1-0 Burnley

    Júnior Firpo, who gets into some great positions, has a golden chance to make it 2-0 as he is teed up superbly by Tyler Roberts but the full-back blasts over from just inside the box.

    Everton 0-2 Brighton

    A goal before half time would be big for Everton, they don't really look like getting it though. Brighton are seeing out the half pretty comfortably.

    Yoane Wissa (42 mins)

    That is delightful!

    The game had gone a bit flat, Brentford were going nowhere with passes for the sake of passing but then come alive in the Villa half.

    Christian Norgaard plays a ball round the corner to Mads Bech Sorensen, who squeezes out a pass to Yoann Wissa.

    The Brentford striker is on the edge of the D, holds off a Villa defender and curls a sumptuous finish into the far corner.

    Great work from Harrison, he was anticipating, he was on the front-foot, waiting for that mistake.

    It's a good save but as the ball comes back out, Wayne Hennessey couldn't get up quick enough. Burnley will be so disappointed with the mistake but great play from Jack Harrison. Great determination - you get your reward sometimes.

    Elland Road erupts!

    Great work from Jack Harrison as a poor clearance by James Tarkowski hits the Leeds midfielder and he immediately charges towards goal. He still has a lot to do but manages to get into the box and squeeze home at the second attempt after his initial shot is saved.

    A huge goal for Leeds!

    Can we let Big Dunc manage our home games please. He would make sure we play with a little passion. For all his talents Benitez just doesn’t have that ability.

    Ste, Ashton

    Almost goal number three for Brighton but Jordan Pickford superbly pushes behind a rasping low Adam Lallana drive.

    It's gone a little scrappy here with neither side really able to take control of the ball.

    Bertrand Traore tried to go the direct route by running straight down the middle of the pitch but was held up by two retreating Bees defenders.

    Great move. Mateusz Klich out to Luke Ayling, he crosses it in and then Tyler Roberts has got to do better.

    He's got to score. He's got enough time, he can see the ball coming. It may have been offside anyway, it looked tight.

    Huge chance for Leeds to take the lead as Tyler Roberts meets a cross but heads wide from six yards.

    Ten minutes to go until the break.
