Leeds 2-1 Plymouth

Leeds picked up a somewhat fortuitous victory against Plymouth to leapfrog the Pilgrims in the Championship table.

An own goal from Peter Gilbert gifted the hosts the lead after David Healey had whipped in a vicious low cross.

And Northern Ireland international Healy's neat lob over Romain Larrieu a minute from time doubled their lead.

Plymouth substitute Stevie Crawford's last-ditch effort proved little consolation, despite the visitors showing plenty of promise early on.

Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell:
"Ironically, it's probably the worst we've played in about two months.

"But I've got to give credit to Plymouth. They came here, did a good job, set their stall out with a deep back-four and someone sat in front, and playing with one striker.

"They have obviously had us watched and came here with a game-plan to stop us. But, overall, we deserved the win."

Plymouth manager Bobby Williamson on Healy's goal:
"Sean Gregan had already been booked. Matt Doumbe played the ball back comfortably to the goalkeeper and then Gregan has come in and fouled him.

"So the ball gets played back by our goalkeeper, while Doumbe is still rolling about and is on his way back up, but is playing Healy onside.

"It has been so costly because the referee and his assistant only assist when they feel it's necessary."
