A close run thing!
A close match. Good display from Leeds though. Hard luck but encouraging for the rest of the season. Last match before the break for the World Cup and we are pretty much in mid table. Two excellent shots by Rodrigo brought him goals and one by the improving young dutch player Crysencio Summerville.
Willy Gnonto strike his first goal at Elland Road
An excellent shot gives Willy Gnonto his first league goal at Elland Road. Rodrigo yet again hits a great goal and he's been looking like a goal scoring brute in recent matches for us. We gave away a penalty though and could only manage a draw in a match we were looking to win.
Leeds earn FA Cup 3rd round replay
Cardiff went 2 - nil up after a couple of fairly scrappy goals. Rodrigo then pulled one back with a header after a cross by Sam Greenwood following a short corner on the left. Then Cardiff were reduced to 10 men when a defender dived to stop the ball going in. Unfortunately Rodrigo's penalty kick was saved. Very late on in the game young Sonny Perkins popped up just in front of the goalkeeper to nick it into the net with his first goal for the club. Hooray's all round by the large away following as Leeds earn a replay at Elland Road.
5 Goal Leeds and Gnonto with incredible scissor kick!
A superb scissor kick for the opening goal by Willy Gnonto. Reminiscent of the goal scored by Paulo di Canio for West Ham quite a few years ago now. Young italian Gnonto is on his way to becoming an Elland Road legend. Rodrigo has space in the penalty area and ruthlessly smashes the ball in the net. Gnonto again for the third. He cuts in from the left and beats the keeper at the near post. Patrick Bamford now scores a couple of neat goals. The first is nicely sidefooted placed to the left of the keeper. The second jabbed in low again to the left. Lovely goals or what!
