The national media were in attendance as Leeds United put Saturday's defeat at Southampton behind them with a 1-0 victory over QPR at Elland Road on Wednesday evening
Leeds United got back on track after Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Southampton by seeing off Queens Park Rangers 1-0 at Elland Road. Crysencio Summerville's ninth-minute strike was enough to seal the points on an evening when Daniel Farke's side will probably think they should have scored more.
"Leeds should have been out of sight by half-time and didn't carry as much threat after the break, but the job was still completed. It was a necessary response to Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Southampton and keeps them ticking over nicely. At St Mary's, Leeds found themselves three down and out of contention after half an hour, so the first objective here was to seize the initiative and some control.
"The winning goal came when Georginio Rutter spotted Summerville unmarked 10 yards from goal and he coolly fired low shot past Begovic. Daniel Farke's men created numerous half-chances but the 21-year-old's early strike proved to be the winner." "And Hoops saw keeper Asmir Begovic controversially sent off in added time. The ninth-minute winner came when QPR full-back Osman Kakay's pass to Paul Smyth on the right looked to have gone out of play but the winger carried on and poked the ball back into the path of Georginio Rutter.
"Crysencio Summerville's cool finish gave Leeds an early lead as the hosts dominated the first half against the goal-shy R's. Both sides found it hard to create any decent chances until the final 15 minutes when Patrick Bamford had a shot saved while Pascal Struijk also went close.
