Leeds United returned to winning ways in the Championship on Saturday afternoon. The Whites got the better of Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at home.

Chris Wood scored yet again for Leeds. The New Zealand international striker found the net in the 24th minute of the encounter.

It proved to be the only goal of the match at Elland Road, as Leeds picked up all three points from the Yorkshire derby.

There were over 35,000 spectators at Elland Road for the match, and Leeds head coach Garry Monk has praised the atmosphere at the ground.

“The atmosphere was unbelievable,” Monk told BBC Sport. “The fans gave it to the players and the players gave it back.”

Monk has also taken to Twitter to give his reaction to the win, and so has assistant head coach Pep Clotet.

Over the course of the 90 minutes at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, hosts Leeds had 48% of the possession, took six shots of which one was on target, and earned two corners, according to BBC Sport.

Visitors Wednesday had 52% of the possession, took 10 shots of which one was on target, and earned five corners, according to BBC Sport.

Leeds will return to action next Friday evening when they take on Birmingham City away from home at St. Andrew’s in the Championship.
