Southampton 3-4 Leeds

A 20-minute four-goal blitz fired Leeds to a great comeback win at St Mary's.

Saints were in control after Marian Pahars' close-range header and Nigel Quashie's brace, including one penalty, which put them 3-0 up at the break.

But the introduction of David Healy with 20 minutes remaining sparked an incredible turnaround by the visitors.

First Paul Butler headed in then Robbie Blake tapped home before Healy's chip was handled and he popped in a penalty. Liam Miller side-footed in the winner.

Southampton manager Harry Redknapp:
"We were dominating but we got edgy when they scored, we looked nervy.

"They had too much space at the end. But they didn't suddenly start hammering us, they had four attacks and scored four goals.

"We have nothing to show for it. It's no good shouting and screaming at the players. It's a blow when this happens, but I can't put my finger on why."

Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell: "All the plaudits go to the players. That's something you see only rarely in football, and we're on the right end of it.

"At half-time I told them firstly to go out and regain some pride, and then see if you can get a goal, to see how that affects Southampton.

"That team has got us in the top six, so deserved the chance to dig us out."
