West Brom 4-2 Leeds

Diomansy Kamara's brace helped West Brom make light of Paul McShane's first-half dismissal against Leeds.

McShane saw red when he tangled with Geoff Horsfield in the box, but David Healy failed to convert the spot-kick.

Martin Albrechtsen made him pay with a header and after the break Kamara converted Darren Carter's centre and Kevin Phillips tapped in on 79 minutes.

Leeds had hopes of an unlikely comeback when Horsfield and Steve Stone slotted, but Kamara scored again in injury time.

West Brom's caretaker manager Nigel Pearson:
"I think we have got a great squad.

"This result keeps us in touch at the top and there is still more to come from this side.

"I have kept my feelings on the manager situation close to my chest and it is not something I am prepared to discuss - but I have not applied for the job."

Leeds caretaker manager John Carver:
"It is not true that I have been given the job.

"My job is to get this team up the league. All the chairman has told me is to do is get on with it.

"He has not told me anything other than that about the job and I am not listening to anything which comes from the outside."
