    This is daylight robbery. How on earth are Villa winning?

    Aston Villa 2-0 Leeds

    That's got to really suck the fight out of Leeds because it felt like their equaliser was coming but now they have a mountain to climb.

    Jesse Marsch sends on Patrick Bamford and new signing Max Wober for Jack Harrison and Pascal Struijk.

    Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville on Sky Sports: "Ashley Young made an incredible challenge at one end to stop Tyler Adams scoring.

    "Leeds have struggled to contain Leon Bailey all night, he's been the one. Pascal Struijk has struggled defensively all evening. You might ask if Illan Meslier could push it away but it has a lot of power behind it.

    "Leeds have been the better team but Villa have doubled their lead."

    This is nailed on to be 2-0 to Villa. Leeds have missed too many chances so far.

    Steve, Darlington

    Steve sent this in before the second goal and has been proven correct. You just felt Leeds were going to rue those missed chances.

    GOAL - Aston Villa 2-0 Leedspublished at 65 mins

    Emiliano Buendia

    It is given!

    The replays show that Emiliano Buendia was onside as he ran through to pounce on the loose ball after Leon Bailey's shot was denied and Aston Villa have their second.

    Hugely frustrating for Leeds, who you felt had enough chances to win two games.

    Hang on!

    Aston Villa have the ball in the back of the net as Emiliano Buendia fires in from close range after Leon Bailey's shot was denied.

    It is ruled out for offside, but VAR is taking a look...

    Ross Matthewmen: Villa need new centre backs as soon as possible. It’s been our Achilles heel for about 2 years now.

    Aston Villa are playing well. I think they've got a really good squad and listening to certain comments from the players regarding the manager [Unai Emery], you are always wondering what they are going to say. The attention to detail and organisational skills were mentioned.

    Excellent run by Rodrigo as he surges into the box but then puts his shot into the sidenetting.

    How much are Leeds going to rue all these missed chances?

    I understand the negativity around Marsch but Leeds are no longer getting pasted like they were at the end of the Bielsa days. Sloppy mistakes have been the undoing; take a night like tonight for example getting rid of Marsch achieves what exactly? Leeds should have had penalty, bar some last ditch defending/goalkeeping they’d have 2 goals, plus the offside goal that was fractional. Enough of this Marsch out nonsense

    Brenden Aaronson is fouled midway inside the Aston Villa half. Jack Harrison lifts the ball into the box but Danny Ings is there to head behind.

    Harrison then tries to play the corner short but makes a mess of it and Villa almost capitalise on the break.

    Leeds' set pieces have been poor in this game.

    Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville on Sky Sports: "Leeds have been the better team but with Bailey, Buendia, Ramsey and Ings Villa have more quality. You just wonder if Leeds are going to get stung.

    "Villa still look very unsure and jittery at the back."

    More good defending by Tyrone Mings as he stabs away Pascal Struijk's cutback at the near post.

    Andrew Priestley: It’s criminal at this level just how many times Leeds leave a free opposition player or players at the back post. The number of chances and goals they have conceded this season to that sort of attack is mind-boggling and it doesn’t seem to be improving any.

    Unai Emery is typically animated on the edge of his technical area and he's urging his players to push up into the Leeds half.

    His side does come forward as Leon Bailey is into space down the right. His cross is cleared to Douglas Luiz on the edge of the box but the Brazilian drives over.

    Jesse Marsch must be tearing his hair out at halftime. How Leeds haven't scored is amazing. One thing for certain Steven Gerrard couldn't have inspired Villa to defend like this. Emery has put some some steel into them.

    Really good play by Alex Moreno, who has some real pace. He gets away down the left, knocks the ball past one Leeds player before passing to a team-mate. He continues into the box and gets the ball back again but his shot is blocked.

    At the other end, Emi Martinez produces another excellent save to keep out a curled Wilfried Gnonto effort.

    Great start to the second half with chances at both ends.
