Leeds boss Rosler says Man Utd target Taylor ‘top drawer’

Mirco Antenucci will hope to keep his place with Chris Wood up front.

Southampton loanee Sam Gallagher was next to go close for Dons, forcing Marco Silvestri to palm the ball over the crossbar for a corner in the 19th minute, having been fed by Carl Baker.

Leeds United boss Uwe Rosler has explained some of his selection decisions today.

74 – DONS GOAL – Murphy squares it across the face of goal and Simon Church is on hand to tap the ball home and get Dons right back into this game.

Even more worrying for Dons fans is the fact that they have only scored once in the last three, and only six in all seven league games this season.

After being the creator, Taylor then turned scorer after weaving past a couple of challenges down the left before unleashing a precision angled strike for his first goal of the campaign. Assisted by Stuart Dallas.

Robinson’s side were again denied by Silvestri four minutes before half-time, the Italian goalkeeper pushing a fiercely-struck attempt from Hall onto the post.

But on the stroke of half-time United made it 2-0 after Taylor was superb again, beating several home players before firing an unstoppable shot past Martin.

The hosts were reduced to 10 men when Samir Carruthers was shown a straight red card for a late tackle on Dallas.

Tom Adeyemi (Leeds United) wins a free kick in the defensive half.

It stayed 2-1 to the end, though, with goal-line clearances at both ends, Cook being denied for Leeds.

Taylor feels Leeds learned from their trip to Bristol City earlier this season where they conceded twice in the final five minutes to draw 2-2.

MK Dons, aiming to avoid a fourth successive defeat for the first time since December 2009, mad two changes with loan duo Gallagher and Josh Murphy coming in for Dean Bowditch and Simon Church. Then the panic button came into play, even with a man more. They put (Carl) Baker in the right back position and he put ball after ball into our box and they got momentum with some corners. They wanted us to get the equaliser but we have to raise the standard and we have to play instinctively. Our players should have the confidence and belief that we can go for 90 minutes.

“We were nervous, you could see that”. Dons the better team so far in this game.

“When you see the whole game and the amount of chances, I think we should have killed the game off in the first 15 minutes of the second half”.
