    Time:90'
    • Doncaster Rovers
    • Leeds United
    • 90' FULL TIME!
    • 87' It's been a complete performance from Leeds, who have attacked and defended superbly well all night. Doncaster have been thoroughly outplayed here.
    • 84' Leeds are winding down the clock nicely here. Closing this game out confidently.
    • 81' Keogh hits the bar for Leeds! Heading the ball into his path to get away from Friend, Keogh pokes the ball past Kirkland and towards goal but, with Kirkland beaten, the ball comes back off the bar.
    • 79' Lonergan has a dislocated little finger, it has been confirmed.
    • 77' Grayson takes no chances with Lonergan, who comes off with just under 15 minutes to play.
    • 75' Leeds substitution: Rachubka on, Lonergan off
    • 72' Leeds goalkeeper Lonergan is struggling with an injury to his hand. His glove is off and it doesn't look as though he can continue...
    • 69' McCormack has yet another effort at goal as Doncaster struggle to contain this impressive Leeds attack.
    • 66' It's oh so simple for Leeds as Lees comes up from the back to head in Snodgrass' corner. 3-0 and that's surely game, set and match Leeds United.
    • 65' GOAL! Lees makes it 3-0 to Leeds!
    • 63' Can that double substitution change Doncaster's fortunes? Well, they seem to have shifted to a more attacking formation, but that will leave gaps at the back for the home side...
    • 62' Doncaster sub: Mason on, Oster off
    • 61' Doncaster sub: Bennett on, Coppinger off
    • 60' Doncaster looking slightly disheartened at the moment, but Dean Saunders has a few players warming up on the touchline...
    • 57' McCormack leads a Leeds counter-attack as Doncaster momentarily find themselves outnumbered at the back. But the striker fires his effort high over the bar.
    • 55' An uphill task has become a lot harder for Doncaster, who have only scored 6 goals all season; the lowest total in the Championship.
    • 54' That was McCormack's 9th goal in 10 Championship games.
    • 52' Great finish by McCormack, who receives an intelligent pass into the box by Keogh and, after the ball pops into the air, McCormack's overhead kick from 10 yards flies past Kirkland and into the back of the net.
    • 51' GOAL! McCormack makes it 2-0!
    • 50' Snodgrass cuts in from the right and fires a low shot straight at Kirkland.
    • 49' Coppinger bursts into the box but slips as he tries to cross for Sharp. But Coppinger still wins Doncaster the corner.
    • 48' The opening few minutes of the second half have played out in a similar vain to the closing minutes of the first. Doncaster knocking the ball around nicely but doing little with it.
    • 46' KICK OFF!
    • 45' HALF TIME. That's the end of a pulsating first 45 minutes at the Keepmoat Stadium. Leeds lead 1-0 at the break. Join me in 15 minutes for the second half.
    • 44' Snodgrass looks for Keogh, but Illunga does well to prevent Keogh getting to the ball and the chance is gone.
    • 42' Doncaster ending the half the stronger here, keeping Leeds at bay at the moment.
    • 40' Chance for Parkin! O'Connor whips in an early cross from the right and Parkin darts between two defenders but puts his header a metre wide. Big chance and that goes down as a missed opportunity.
    • 38' Snodgrass and Keogh combine but Naylor cuts out the throughball and Doncaster breathe again. The home side will be looking to keep it tight in these minutes before half time.
    • 36' Keogh smashes the free-kick but Kirkland gets down and makes a straightforward save. Good low strike by Keogh though.
    • 35' Parkin gets back to help his team out but he shoves McCormack in the back and Leeds have a free-kick 35 yards out...
    • 33' James Coppinger (Doncaster) sees yellow for unsporting behaviour.
    • 31' Snodgrass looks for McCormack with a dangerous through ball but Friend gets across to cover.
    • 29' Leeds are well on top still. Doncaster struggling to deal with the energy and threat of Snodgrass.
    • 27' Doncaster second best at the moment, but you wouldn't guess it from their home support. It remains very loud here at the Keepmoat.
    • 26' Keogh shoots from 25 yards but it flies just wide.
    • 25' Snodgrass dinks in a teasing cross from the right and Clayton tries a spectacular overhead kick, but Pugh gets in his way. Leeds creating all the chances at the moment.
    • 23' We're just over halfway through the first half. If you have any comments about tonight's match be sure to send them to me on Twitter and I'll feed them into the match commentary.
    • 22' Doncaster have responded well to going behind as Oster sees a drive from 20 yards saved.
    • 20' First blood to Leeds. Snodgrass whips in the free kick from the right and, after confusion in the Doncaster box, Pugh arrives unmarked to fire in easily from six yards.
    • 19' GOAL! Pugh scores for Leeds!
    • 19' Friend fouls McCormack right in the corner and Leeds have a chance to send the big men forward...
    • 18' Leeds have steadied the ship after that good ten minute spell for Doncaster.
    • 16' McCormack waltzes into the box but, with Illunga getting across to cover, the Leeds striker walks into a cul-de-sac.
    • 14' It's Doncaster making the running here at the moment. Leeds under the cosh, slightly.
    • 12' Pulsating start at the Keepmoat!
    • 10' Indecision at the back for Leeds as Oster puts in a dangerous cross to Sharp, who falls to the ground under the pressure of O'Dea. Sharp looking for the penalty but he wasn't going to get that.
    • 8' Great move by Leeds. Keogh gets into a great position on the right and puts an early low cross in for McCormack, whose shot is well blocked by Naylor.
    • 6' But the first shot of the game is for Doncaster. Parkin does well to control a high ball on the edge of the box and swivels to sends a low shot straight at Lonergan. Good effort.
    • 5' Snodgrass finds Connolly, but his cross is cut out by Ilunga. Leeds trying to build an advantage here.
