90+1' TONEY HEADS WIDE FROM 12 YARDS OUT! David Raya (Brentford) - It was hardly a deluge from Leeds towards the Brentford goal but the Bees stopper has an unfussy aura which gives his defenders confidence and put the doubt in attacker's mind that it might not be their day. After the disappointment of being pegged back by Tottenham, they produced wins at West Ham and against Liverpool, followed by a win they were expected to have against Bournemouth.

Love the spirit and craziness of Leeds, and Toney registered a glorious hat-trick (penalty, free-kick, long-range chip) in the reverse fixture in September and the smart money would surely be on his side coming out on top today. Thomas Frank brings in Rico Henry and Mads Roerslev, who will likely man the flanks either side of a back three. The assumes the role of teacher, scolding the both of them and sending them on their way. 12 mins: Jensen is caught dilly-dallying on the ball on the edge of his own box and as Aaronson drives into the area, he’s brought down by Norgaard. [Brentford](https://www.theguardian.com/football/brentford) attack and fizzes the ball into the feet of Rodrigo to spark a counter. and bloots it straight out of play for a goal kick. Adams and Jensen tussle for possession on the sideline and turn it into a full-on playground shoving match once the ball has gone out of play. Faced with the choice to shoot from an angle or send it square for a Toney tap-in, he opts for the latter but Koch has spotted it and lunges in to intercept at the final moment. The return pass is a touch too strong though and the attack fizzles out after he’s forced wide. A deep cross from Roerslev sails just over Toney but falls to the feet of Henry, who’s arriving into the box from the left. The striker picks out Harrison with a great first-time ball but the midfielder, with acres to run into, takes a painfully heavy touch and loses possession.

Georginio Rutter was an unused substitute during Leeds United's 0-0 draw with Brentford on Sunday afternoon.

"We thought about it, you know, I could have done it," Marsch said after the game. "I thought Jack's [Harrison] performance was really strong. There will be plenty of supporters left scratching their heads over their new signing's failure to appear in a game that was crying out for someone to unlock the Brentford defence. [Rutter](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/georginio-rutter) was named on the bench for the game against the Bees, with many hoping to get their first glimpse of the Frenchman following his arrival at Elland Road earlier this month. "I just want to integrate him the right way and I felt like the guys on the field, I felt like Willy [Gnonto] was close to pulling off a play so I felt like leaving him on. [Marsch](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/jesse-marsch) did not call upon Rutter for his first appearance for [Leeds](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/leeds-united-fc) - turning to [Patrick Bamford](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/patrick-bamford) and [Luis Sinisterra ](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/luis-sinisterra)from the bench instead.
