Dallas, 25, had faith in his teammate, but still admitted he was impressed his teammate managed to find the net.
He said: “I said to Kyle that I don’t know how he’s managed to keep the header down, because he’s up above it. He’s done well.
“He’s a big lad, we’ve a few big lads, and you’ll know he’s going to win it if you put the ball in there.
The win ensured that Leeds remain in fifth place in the Championship table heading into the Boxing Day clash with Preston, after two victories within a week.
The assist was Northern Ireland international Dallas’ first of the season, in his ninth Championship start, having missed a month of the campaign with injury.
Bartley has been an ever present, and while his form has been overshadowed by Pontus Jansson, the Swansea City loanee is every bit as vital, and is quickly too becoming a fan favourite at Elland Road.
