Seventh Heaven

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 31 October 2009

Leeds United 4 Yeovil Town 0

Despite a slow start Leeds continued their fantastic form from Tuesday night to inflict a second successive 4-0 defeat on Yeovil and move seven points clear at the top. Yeovil had come to Elland Road high on confidence following a run of six unbeaten games but that run came to an abrupt end. Grayson fielded an unchanged team from Tuesday night as one would expect but the early exchanges were forgetful.

However that all changed on 42 mins when Bradley Johnson gave Leeds a deserved lead after his cross avoided everyone to beat Yeovil goalkeeper Alex McCarthy. Substitute Max Gradel doubled the advantage on 69 mins after after taking a pass from Leigh Bromby and scoring from a narrow angle. On 78 mins Becks pounced on a mistake by Terrell Forbes to make it three and goal No 11 for the season for the Leeds centre forward. To complete a great day for the Leeds supporters Tresor Kandol headed the fourth following a Snodgrass cross with six minutes remaining.

With a third of the season gone Leeds are playing beyond our expectations and all credit here to Simon Grayson and his backroom team who have them playing some attractive attacking football. This is something we long suffering Leeds fans have'nt seen in quite some time from our team. Let's pray it continues till the end of the season. Marching On Together
