Relive Sports Mole's live coverage of Sutton United's 1-0 win over Leeds United in the FA Cup fourth round.

A second-half penalty from Jamie Collins has earned Sutton United a 1-0 win over Leeds United in the FA Cup fourth round.

There are 84 places separating the two teams in the English football pyramid but Sutton made a mockery of their lower standing as they created the better chances.

Collins struck eight minutes into the second period to secure the National League outfit a victory which takes them into the last 16 of the competition.

Read below to see how the action unfolded at Green Gander Lane.

1.01pmHello, and welcome to Sports Mole's live coverage of the match in the FA Cup fourth round between Sutton United and Leeds United.

1.05pmIn several parts of the country, there will be supporters nursing hangovers after witnessing their team pull off an FA Cup shock (I may be one of them...) but despite enough stories being generated on Saturday, we are back again to see if there can be another giant-killing act in the world's greatest cup competition. The odds are stacked in Leeds' favour but don't let that fool you - this is one of the ties of the round and the chance for the lowest-ranked team in the competition to continue their run towards Wembley.

1.08pmBefore we continue, let me bring you an update from the match at The New Den as Millwall continue to hold Premier League side Watford. There's a minor shock brewing at Craven Cottage, too, with Sone Aluko giving Fulham a one-goal lead against his former club Hull City. We will keep you up-to-date with both games.

1.10pmAnyway, without further ado, let's crack on with the team news from Gander Green Lane.

1.13pmActually, let's scrap that, because neither team have been forthcoming with their starting lineups. Bit of a strange one, that. We have just over 45 minutes until kickoff. I will keep you informed.

1.18pmWhile we wait for the teams, let's get back to yesterday where Lincoln City, Oxford United and Wolverhampton Wanderers all pulled off upsets. Lincoln's triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion caught the eye for obvious reasons but for me, Oxford did not get enough credit for easing to a 3-0 win over Newcastle United. There's not many Championship sides which can claim to have done that this season!

The first tie of day saw Wolves inflict more misery upon Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side at Anfield. On current form, you could argue that it wasn't all that big of a surprise but try telling that to 8,000 Wolves fans who made the trip to Merseyside! You can catch up with the match report for that game by clicking here.


1.21pmWe still await the full team news but it has been claimed on Twitter that Billy Whitehouse - a 20-year-old defender - will make his debut for Leeds.

1.24pmFinally, we have more news on the teams...

SUTTON UNITED XI: Worner, Amankwaah, Collins, Gomis, May, Eastmond, Bailey, Spence, Deacon, Biamou, Downer


1.25pmLEEDS UNITED XI: Silvestri, Coyle, P McKay, Cooper, Denton, Grimes, Phillips, Whitehouse, Dallas, Doukara, Antonsson

1.26pmLEEDS UNITED SUBSTITUTES: Peacock-Farrell, Roofe, Wilks, Vieira, Sacko, Ayling, Vann

1.30pmLeeds boss Garry Monk has made 10 alterations to his side for the trip to Gander Green Lane. It has to be considered a risk but Monk will argue that if he can't rotate his side for a game against a side three divisions below them, when can he? There's still some big names in the side, however, with the likes of Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas lining up for the Lilywhites. As we revealed earlier, Whitehouse comes in for his debut.

1.35pmMany of you may not be familiar with the Sutton United team but they include some notable names. Craig Eastmond started his career with Arsenal and enjoyed several years with Colchester United, while Nicky Bailey is a former Middlesbrough and Charlton Athletic midfielder. Kevin Amankwaah has plenty of Football League experience, with former Stevenage and Crawley Town player Roarie Deacon having already scored four times for Sutton in this year's FA Cup.

1.38pmHEAD TO HEAD! There has been just one previous meeting between the two sides and that came all the way back in 1970. That too came in the FA Cup with Leeds racing to a 6-0 victory. I'm confident that it won't be that one-sided this afternoon...

1.40pmSUTTON UNITED SUBSTITUTES: John, Fitchett, Gueye, Monakana, Traore, Tubbs, Shaw

1.43pmNot a bad record, is it...?



1.46pmLATEST! There's been another goal in the game at Craven Cottage and it's an equaliser for Hull City. Evandro has gotten on the scoresheet for the first time in a Tigers shirt. There's still another 30 minutes or so left in that one.

1.49pmLATEST! There's been another goal at Craven Cottage! Hull were only level for five minutes. Fulham have regained the lead thanks to a goal from Chris Martin. It's still goalless between Millwall and Watford.

1.52pmPREDICTION! Despite Sutton's fantastic home record, we can't back against Leeds in this match. Monk has made sweeping alterations to his side but they should have enough quality in their ranks to run out winners. We are going for a 3-1 scoreline.

1.56pmLATEST! Could we have another shock? Millwall have taken the lead against Watford! Steve Morison has got the goal. There is only a few minutes left for Watford to get a replay.

1.58pmHere comes the two teams to a warm welcome from both sets of supporters. This is a huge day in the history of Sutton United. Can they make it count? We are about to find out!

1 minPaul McKay is also making his debut for Leeds this afternoon, I should add. The visitors get us underway.

1 minTalk about a hostile welcome. Eastmond has just gone flying in on Grimes and really, it should be a yellow card. The Sutton midfielder has got away with one there.

4 minThe rain is ensuring that the ball is zipping off the artificial pitch. I'm not too sure that will help either side.

6 minRESULT! The full-time whistle has gone in East London and Millwall have got the better of Watford. What a result that is. Click here to read our on-the-whistle report.

8 minSutton have the ball in the net and the crowd are going wild. However, an extremely marginal call has chalked off Deacon's fine finish into the top corner. If it was offside, it was literally inches.

12 minSHOT! How is Deacon only playing at the fifth tier? He has started this game superbly. Moments after his harshly disallowed goal, he's just let fly from 30 yards but Silvestri was able to tip the ball over the crossbar.

17 minIt has to be said that Sutton are dominating this match. They aren't necessarily creating a hatful of chances but they are making full use of the artificial pitch. Leeds are struggling to get to grips with it.

18 minBOOKING! Liam Cooper is the first an into the book for preventing a through-ball intended for a Sutton attacker finding its target.

22 minBit better from Leeds who have some joy down the right flank but the cross into the box goes straight out for a goal kick. That's as good as it has got for the visitors.

28 minCHANCE! What a chance for Sutton! I really don't know how that stayed out. The ball fell invitingly to Gomis around 10 yards out but despite making a sweet connection, Silvestri got his body in the way and claimed the ball at the second opportunity.

31 minWe are half an hour through this game and there still isn't much coming back from Leeds. Monk can't be happy with how this match is going, although we will have to shoulder some of the blame given his team selection. They miss Chris Wood when he isn't in the team.

32 minBOOKING! Leeds earn a second booking after Tyler Denton commits a foul on the byline. The resulting free kick came to nothing, however.

37 minSHOT! Deacon almost worked himself into another area where he could get a shot on goal from the edge of the area but on this occasion, he was crowded out by the Leeds defence. Back up the other end, a deflected effort from Dallas went marginally wide.

40 minBOOKING! Deacon goes into the book for a clear block on Denton on the edge of the area. It's his 10th of the season, which means a two-game ban and a potential absence from a replay at Elland Road.

41 minSHOT! Phillips took responsibility for the set piece but despite his effort having plenty of power behind it, it was straight at Worner in the Sutton goal.

43 minSHOT! It's no exaggeration that Silvestri is keeping Leeds on level terms. He makes his third outstanding save of the first half to deny Deacon, whose 20-yard rasper appeared to be heading toward the roof of the net before the goalkeeper's intervention.

45 minThere will be one minute of added-on time.

45+1 minHALF TIME: Sutton United 0-0 Leeds United

2.48pmThe half-time whistle goes at Green Gander Lane and Sutton continue to hold Leeds, although the minnows will count themselves unlucky not to be ahead. The Championship outfit have been poor.

46 minWe are back underway at Green Gander Lane.

48 minLeeds have made a sharper start to this second half but in all fairness, they could hardly not improve. They are controlling possession in these early stages.

52 minPENALTY TO SUTTON!

53 minGOAL! Sutton United 1-0 Leeds United (Collins)

53 minThe upset is on! Silvestri committed a foul in the penalty area but it wasn't given, but the same incident resulted in Doyle fouling Deacon and this time, the spot kick was given. Collins looked nervous when stepping up to take it but he converted with aplomb, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. The minnows lead and deservedly so!

57 minSUBSTITUTION! Monk wastes no time in making a change as Sacko is introduced in place of Dallas.

61 minWe are into the final 30 minutes of this game and Sutton are pushing for a second rather than sitting back. It's refreshing to see. I really fancy them to get a second rather than Leeds to get an equaliser.

63 minThis is an astonishing call by the referee. Whitehouse is clearly taken out on the edge of the penalty area - maybe even inside it - but the referee did nothing. It's a foul or a dive and he gave neither. Weak officiating.

64 minSUBSTITUTION! Mallik Wilks is introduced for his debut in place of Doukara. It's a commendable show of bravery from the youngster, whose brother was shot dead in Leeds earlier this week.

66 minSHOT! It's all getting a bit desperate for Leeds and that argument is strengthened by Grimes wayward effort from distance.

70 minAs we enter the final 20 minutes, there isn't a whole lot happening. Leeds are having the lion's share of possession but they aren't creating anything which will test Worner. Kemar Roofe is being readied.

73 minSUBSTITUTION! Monk makes his final change and it's Roofe for Whitehouse. The youngster didn't do much on his Leeds debut but he was unlucky not to win a penalty in the second half.

76 minBOOKING! Bailey goes into the book for a foul on the halfway line. Looked a bit harsh to me but he had little complaints.

78 minSHOT! Grimes certainly isn't shy when it comes to shooting from distance and although he gets his attempt on target, Worner gathered the ball at the second time of asking.

81 minSHOT! Deacon can be excused from trying his luck from 35 yards but this effort lacked any real power and it was an easy save for Silvestri.

82 minRED CARD! It goes from bad to worse for Leeds as Cooper is sent off for a second yellow card. He can have no complaints either after stopping Eastwood from breaking forward.

86 minFour minutes to go. Can Sutton really do this? There are 84 places separating the two sides in the English football pyramid.

90 minAntonsson sends another shot over for Leeds. There will be four minutes of added-on time.

90+1 minSUBSTITUTION! Late change for Sutton as Traore replaced the tired Eastmond. He's put in some shift.

90+6 minFULL TIME: Sutton United 1-0 Leeds United

3.56pmThe full-time whistle goes at Green Gander Lane and Sutton have done it - they have knocked out Leeds United! It's a famous day for the minnows and they are now in the last 16 of the FA Cup! Remarkable.

3.57pmThat will be all from Sports Mole for this game. Thank you for joining us this afternoon and we hope to see you again soon. Goodbye for now.
