And that’s that, on the day Norwich go top at the expense of Leeds. Paul Doyle was our man at Elland Road. Enjoy his report. Night night!

Farke speaks! “It was a close game. They started well, but I think it was totally deserved that we led at half time. On the counter we had better chances. We had some problems with our pressing and we spoke about it at half-time. It was totally better in the second half. We didn’t give them once chance. We are annoyed to concede a goal in the last minute from a corner that was not a corner! During the second half we controlled the game. I am pretty pleased.”

Bielsa, whose side have lost five of their last seven, talks: “We couldn’t take our positive moments in the first half hour. We made mistakes in front of our box and helped Norwich to make chances. After they scored, it was hard for us to recover the ball. The way Norwich used the ball in the second half made it difficult for us. It was hard to play deep and attack constantly. This is an indication that the team is not doing very well right now.”

So that’s taken Norwich top of the table on goal difference. Norwich and Leeds both have 57 points, in the automatic promotion places and ahead of Sheffield United, three points behind in third. West Bromwich Albion, Middlesbrough and in-form Bristol City take up the rest of the play-off places. It’s going to be one heck of a run-in!

Speaking of composure, Krul went looking for Bamford after the final whistle. A shove in the chest, followed by a lunge with his head that thankfully didn’t connect. Not sure what that was all about. Krul ended up having a barney with his team-mate Zimmermann, too, as the big defender tried to pull his keeper away from bother and get him calmed down. Imagine what he’d have been like had Norwich lost.

Leeds had plenty of possession, but Norwich were by far the superior side. Composed and clinical. The Canaries replace the hosts at the top of the Championship, and on this form will take some stopping.

90 min +3: Leeds spend a bit of time inside the Norwich half, but never look like finding the killer pass that’d set up a very surreal final 60 seconds.

Bamford, not to be denied, flashes a header past Krul. A consolation of sorts on a disappointing evening for Leeds.

90 min +1: In the first of four added minutes, Roofe storms down the right and hooks one to the far post, where Bamford sidefoots towards the top right. Krul tips onto the crossbar and out for a corner. From which ...

89 min: It’s top against bottom next Sunday. Norwich will host a certain side from Suffolk, who lost in the last minute to Sheffield Wednesday today. “Are you watching, Ipswich Town?” enquire the travelling support. They will be watching, and on this very impressive evidence, won’t be much looking forward to the derby.

88 min: McLean’s first contribution is to win a corner down the right. It comes to nothing.

87 min: Jordan Rhodes comes on for Teemu Pukki, Norwich having made all three of their changes with clock-management very much in mind.

86 min: Leeds raise the tempo - too little, too late - and Forshaw is clipped by Vrancic. A free kick, out on the left. Jansson sends it in for Ayling, who clanks a header wide left from close range.

85 min: And now Kenny McLean comes on for the impressive Emiliano Buendia.

84 min: Tom Trybull is replaced by Alexander Tettey.

83 min: Stiepermann is booked for repeated fouling.

82 min: Hernandez dribbles his way into the box down the right. He slips and loses possession. But Stiepermann reclaims it, and gives the ball back to Hernandez, who pulls a shot across the face of goal and out to the left.

80 min: Clarke takes a shot at the spectacular from a tight position on the right. It’s not Leeds’ evening though.

There was still time. Not now. Douglas dithers and is stripped by Pukki, who slips Lewis away down the left. Lewis’s pullback breaks to Vrancic, ten yards out, level with the left-hand post. Vrancic shoots towards the bottom right; his shot takes a deflection off Douglas, bobbles under Casilla, and goes in.

76 min: Bamford, Klick and Clarke triangulate at speed, and prettily, down the inside-right channel and into the Norwich box. Clarke slams a low cross towards Alioski, who hopes to slide home from six yards. But Aarons is in situ to slide in himself, and hook clear of danger. That was the best Leeds move of the match, and may give them some succour going into the closing stages. There’s still time.

74 min: He’s quite happy to book Alioski, though, for a foul on Vrancic. In fact, that could easily have been, probably should have been, a red card, as studs met shin. It wasn’t a good challenge at all.

73 min: But Douglas is treading a fine line, because he clatters into Buendia again. The referee makes do with a three-strikes warning.

72 min: Buendia drops a shoulder to make good down the right wing, but is stopped by Douglas’s cynical leg. Douglas would probably have been booked, were it not for Buendia’s internationally recognised mime for a yellow card. The ref’s not having that.

70 min: This is a little better from Leeds, as Klich, Clarke and Douglas shuttle the ball right to left, across the face of the Norwich box. Bamford suddenly has a little space to stride into the box, but his shot from a tight angle is blocked out by Godfrey. The resulting corner comes to nothing.

68 min: A little bit of space for Alioski down the left, but his cross batters first man Aarons. Leeds have been a complete non-event since the restart.

66 min: And now he’s jumping around, throwing semaphore shapes in a hot funk, Norwich having been awarded a throw when the ball had clearly come off Aarons. But it’s in the midfield, where it matters little, and he’s just been booked. He needs to take care. The referee has a quiet word.

65 min: Roofe is booked for a frustrated hack at Vrancic, who had just taken the ball off him.

64 min: This should have been game, set and match for Norwich. Onel Hernandez dribbles down the left, reaches the byline, turns Jansson this way then that, and finally chips one back towards the penalty spot. Alioski should clear, but decides to spin with a view to striding off into space. He’s immediately robbed by Aarons, who has space on the spot but drives a wild effort wide right from close range. On the touchline, Bielsa shakes his head sadly.

63 min: The last throw of the dice for Leeds, with just over an hour gone, as Patrick Bamford comes on for Tyler Roberts.

62 min: Alioski sails in from the left, exchanges passes with Forshaw, and looks to shape one into the bottom right from the edge of the box. But it’s all too careful, without much in the way of power, and Krul gathers easily.

60 min: Douglas passes long down the middle. Roofe skitters in from the right. He feels Lewis breathing down his neck and opts to go to ground. He claims a penalty; Norwich are incensed at what they consider a dive. Krul and Roofe discuss the matter during a full and frank exchange.

58 min: Vrancic fouls Roberts, 40 yards from goal on the right. Douglas whips a flat free kick into the Norwich area, but nobody can get a head on it and the ball flies straight into the arms of Krul. The smallest of touches there could have caused Norwich all sorts of bother.

56 min: Vrancic, in full flight down the inside-left channel, is brought to an unceremonious halt by Cooper. Free kick, 35 yards out. Buendia lumps it into the Leeds box, an easy pick for Casilla. A bit of a waste.

54 min: The Elland Road faithful are doing their level best to spark their team into life. It’s bedlam. It’s also all a bit slow. That is until Clarke runs at Lewis down the right with twinkle toes, and nearly finds Roofe in the centre with his low cross. Norwich hack clear. Clarke looks a real prospect.

52 min: Roberts is booked for a fairly cynical late clip on Aarons, who was haring down the right wing. He can’t really complain, and doesn’t bother.

51 min: A lull, which is not really what Leeds need.

49 min: Stiepermann climbs all over Douglas’s back. He should be getting booked, really, but the referee takes pity on him because while subsequently falling to the floor, he’s taken a proper whack in his special area. Ooyah, oof, that’s gotta hurt.

47 min: Leeds have won 20 points from losing positions this season, so they will embrace this task with hope. Clare has his first run of the afternoon down the right, but doesn’t really threaten Lewis.

Leeds get the second half underway. They’ve made a double change at half-time, hooking Pablo Hernandez and Jack Harrison and replacing them with Barry Douglas and the exceptional young talent of Jack Clarke.

Half-time advertisement.

There’ll be more goals in this, I’ll be bound. Don’t go anywhere!

45 min: Roofe is fouled by Trybull, out on the right wing. Alioski scoops the free kick into the mixer. Krul flaps, and the ball drops to Ayling, who dinks it back over the keeper and into the net! But it won’t count, because Jansson was in the thick of it, shoving Vrancic to the floor.

43 min: Roberts ghosts in from the left and is then shoved lightly in the back by Trybull. He wants a penalty, but he’s not getting it. It would have been soft, but Trybull made contact there, and will feel fortunate to have gotten away with that one.

42 min: Pukki is brought to ground by Cooper as he dances his way down the inside-right channel. Leeds are all over the shop here. This is a free kick in a dangerous position. Vrancic tries to repeat his early heroics, but in looking for the top right again, sends the set piece sailing wide.

40 min: The corner leads to nothing. But Norwich regain possession soon enough, Stiepermann flicking Lewis into acres down the left. Lewis flashes the ball hard across the face of goal; it deflects back to Buendia, who leans back and welts over, Leeds breathing again.
