Club co-owner expressed delight at Leeds United victory.
Leeds United edged to another narrow victory over Blackburn Rovers last night, with a late goal once again sealing all three points.
Last September Kyle Bartley netted a late winner and this time around it was Pontus Jansson who scored a vital 87th minute header.
The win was embraced by new club co-owner Andrea Radrizzani, who was at Ewood Park, and took to Twitter to laud the win.

Leeds assistant boss Pep Clotet also commented on Twitter after the game, stating that the team owed their fans a result, after losing away to non-league Sutton United in the FA Cup a matter of days earlier.
Winger Stuart Dallas had put Leeds ahead with under 20 minutes to go, before Elliott Bennett drew Blackburn level in the 83rd minute.

Pontus Jansson’s late goal, headed in from a corner, sealed all three points for the Whites and kept up their promotion charge.
The win was made even better by Newcastle dropping points by conceding a late equaliser to draw with QPR, leaving a gap of just five points between the two clubs.
