LEEDS
grab the win at the Riverside right at the death.
Viduka comes up with the goods once again.
We went to the Riverside with a fair bit of confidence
after the Southampton game. The opening 15 minutes
were promising as Leeds got a good few chances. We
were working very hard and Pennant was looking dangerous
again. Then after 16 minutes Leeds struck first, a
brilliant piece of individual skill ny Pennant saw
him beat two men and deliver a superb pass for Sakho
to score his first Leeds goal.
We were up and rolling. At half-time Leeds looked
comfortable with their 1-0 lead. But on 60 and 62
Middlesbrough took a quick fire 2-1 lead. The Leeds
fans and payers didn't know wahat had hit them. But
they kept battling and the fans remained behind the
team. Leeds took a gamnle and went 3-4-3 after bringing
on younster Aaron Lennon. The gamble was rewarded
when a good corner supplied Camara with a header which
he took well and Leeds were back in the game at 2-2.
You could sense and draw coming on which wouldn't
have been to bad a result away at the Riverside but
still felt a little disappointing after going 1-0
up.Leeds definately looked like they were playing
for one. But on 89 a hopeful long ball beat Boro defender
Sean Davies and Viduka needed no second chance to
lob Schwarzer from 12 yards and grab the winner and
all three points. This was voted goal of the week
by the BBC.

The lads celebrate Marco's late winner.
Leeds once again battled well and this
time came up with the goods. Leeds once again had
few shots on goal, four providing three goals, but
worked together so well. The whole team played so
well but special mention has to go to Sakho, Pennnant
and the youngster Lennon. With Olembe, Chapuis and
Roque Junior all coming to bolster the team the Mighty
Whites are looking Mighty again! Bring on Leicester.
