Leeds United 3 Tranmere Rovers 0

It was a great day at Elland Road for Ennislusc supporters Marty Brennan, Melissa O Connell,Craig Ryan and girlfriend Nicola, Kevin Greene and John Galvin who saw Simon Grayson's boys go joint top of League 1 with Charlton. Leeds eased to victory over Tranmere as they maintained their 100% start to the season and in his post match comments ex Liverpool star and now Rovers manager John Barnes said they were lucky as it could have been seven or eight nil.

Jermaine Beckford hit the post for the home side before Bradley Johnson scored after Luciano Becchio's header had been parried by keeper Luke Daniels. Then on 35 minutes Beckford nipped in and sent a shot in off the foot of the far post to add a second for Leeds. The work-rate of the team throughout the whole match and passing was excellent.

The second half was all one way traffic but it took until the 86 minute for third goal when a Bradley Johnson effort struck the woodwork but Becchio headed in the rebound to resounding applause from the Elland Road faithful. Early days but the signs are good and in Michael Doyle the on loan Irish International from Coventry Grayson has made a super signing.
