    That's as far as we go here tonight after a pulsating match in the Championship.

    League leaders Leicester were looking for a club-record 10th straight league win against third-placed Leeds but it was the visitors who claimed the spoils and the points thanks to Giorginio Rutter's goal.

    The Whites are still 11 points off the Foxes and six behind Ipswich, having played two games more, but if they can keep their levels this high then they will surely have a say come May.

    We'll be back with more Championship action at 14:30 GMT tomorrow.

    Until then, thanks for your company and good night.

    Cheers!

  2. Horsham secure replay but Sheppey outpublished at 22:03 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2023

    The FA Cup first round has not disappointed tonight either.

    Non-league Horsham twice battled back from behind to secure a 3-3 draw at Barnsley and will now face the League One side again in a replay.

    No such luck for Sheppey who were beaten 4-1 at home by League Two Walsall after taking a shock early lead.

    Hopefully tomorrow's 33 ties can bring as much drama!

    It's a disappointing night.

    We're all riding the crest of the wave with this team this season.

    I won't get too disappointed, I thought it was an excellent performance from Leeds from especially in the second half.

    Dewsbury-Hall tried to save things at the end, it was a really good header, but a world class save from Meslier to keep that out

    What an outstanding performance.

    We called it before the game, we'd take a scrappy 1-0 and that is what we've got!

    The players were bang up for it from the get-go.

    The camaraderie and togetherness of this unit is there for all to see.

    Leeds take the points and Leicester's winning run is over!

    The league leaders have been cut down to size by the third-placed Whites.

    Giorginio Rutter's second-half goal was enough for the away team to bring the Foxes' nine-match winning run to an end.

    Leicetser nearly came up with a late, late leveller but Illan Meslier made a super save from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's back post header.

    Leicester are still 11 points clear of Leeds but maybe, just maybe, the away side are in the race for automatic promotion now.

    Leicester win a free-kick. One last chance?

    It's over-hit by James Justin and drifts out of play.

    Think that's going to be it.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 90+4 mins

    Leicester 0-1 Leeds

    What save from Illan Meslier in the Leeds goal!

    He has not had a save to make all night but when he is called upon he has shown up in style!

    Abdul Fatawu stands up a cross to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at the back stick and it looks like his effort is in but the big Frenchman claws it off the line.

    Wow.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 90+2 mins

    Leicester 0-1 Leeds

    Leeds make a couple more late changes.

    Dan James and Archie Gray are off and Luke Ayling and Jaidon Anthony are on.

    Leeds looking to see this out now for what would be a fantastic win.

  10. SIX MINUTES ADDED TIMEpublished at 90 mins

    Leicester 0-1 Leeds

    Right, we're into six minutes of time added on.

    Can Leicester rescue this?

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 88 mins

    Leicester 0-1 Leeds

    Leeds make another change.

    Crysencio Summerville is off, about 20 seconds after being booked, and Italy international Willy Gnonto is on.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 88 mins

    Leicester 0-1 Leeds

    Just about the clearest booking you'll ever see.

    Crysencio Summerville shoves Hamza Choudhury to the ground.

    The Leicester man had made a fine challenge on the Leeds winger a few moments ago and he clearly didn't like it much.

    Choudhury is also booked for his role in the fracas.

  13. Horsham earn replay; Sheppey outpublished at 21:46 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2023

    Barnsley 3-3 Horsham; Sheppey 1-4 Walsall

    Seventh-tier Horsham will get a home replay against League One Barnsley after a thrilling FA Cup first-round tie at Oakwell.

    Six goals and nothing to separate the two sides.

    For eighth-tier Sheppey, they briefly led League Two Walsall in the first half, but the Saddlers then put four goals past them in Kent.

    33 more ties to come tomorrow!

    It's been a tremendous performance from Leeds this in every department.

    They have not given the home side a sniff this half.

    The league leaders have five minutes to find an equaliser.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 83 mins

    Leicester 0-1 Leeds

    Leeds go to their bench for the first time.

    Goalscorer Georginio Rutter and Joel Piroe are off and Patrick Bamford and Ilia Gruev are on.

    That's an extra body in midfield for the away side now.

    Leicester force two corners in quick succession but Leeds stand up well to them.

    We've just looked at sixes and sevens a little bit there and that's the first time.

    I'm not surprised we're looking to make changes, there's some tired bodies out there.

    Harry Winks fouls Ethan Ampadu in the area as Leeds play it around at the back.

    Both of those players were relegated from Serie A last season, should you be interested.

    Leicester 0-1 Leeds

    Leicester's only other defeat this season came in a 1-0 home reverse by Hull City.

    Thirteen wins from 15 is still a pretty solid start to the season you'd have to say.

    The league leaders have 13 minutes to try and find a goal here.

    Leicester 0-1 Leeds

    All this Leicester pressure is leaving them open to a counter and so it nearly proves.

    Dan James sprints towards goal after the away side clear a corner.

    Could he square it maybe? He goes for goal and Mads Hermansen keeps it out smartly.
