Leeds grabbed their first win of the system with a convincing 4-1 win over Hull on Tuesday night. It was an entertaining game and could easily have finished with more goals for each side.
After Ramon Nunez rattled the crossbar, it was Leeds who opened the scoring, Ross McCormack heading home at the second attempt. Leeds pushed for another, but it was Hull who scored next, youngster Tom Lees putting the ball into his own net after Grant Holt crossed. Both sides showed promise going forward, but it was the home side scoring next – Lees atoning for his own goal with a smart finish after good work by Nunez.
The second half started, and the next goal was always going to be crucial – and it was Leeds’ Robert Snodgrass with a rasping free kick that game Simon Graysons men some breathing space. Hull wouldn’t lie down though, and twice keeper Andy Lonergan had to pull off superb saves to stop the visitors getting a foot hold in the game. Leeds completed the scoring late on – Nunez with a cool finish after McCormacks pass played him in.

That must have been one hell of a cross all the way from Norwich!!
He can kick a ball eh!
Which ever journalist was writting this report was a having a wank it was all leeds it could of well been 6-7.
Secondly, in your own player ratings you gave Lonergan 10/10 for his superb reflex saves. How is this possible if was all Leeds?
Personally I agree with you - Lonergan had another blinder and deserved 10/10. If they'd pulled one back early in the second half, it could easily have been another Preston.
