Leeds United moved fifth in the Championship on Saturday night.
Leeds United bounced back from the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United by winning 2-1 at 10-man Rotherham United on Saturday evening.
First-half goals from Chris Wood and Souleymane Doukara, either side of Peter Odemwingie’s red card, saw Leeds boast a comfortable lead at the break.
Garry Monk’s side had very few chances to extend their lead in what transpired to be a very disappointing second half.
Richard Wood halved the deficit for the hosts on 86 minutes to put the jitters among 11-man Leeds in the final stages, but the Whites held on to move fifth in the Championship.
Fans of the Yorkshire club were more or less content at full time, but Eunan O’Kane, a summer signing from Bournemouth, did not escape unscathed.
The centre-midfielder’s passing was suspect on a number of occasions yesterday evening, with the Republic of Ireland international completing 92 of his 107 attempted passes.
No other Leeds player made anywhere near the same amount of passes but, by the same token, no other visiting player misplaced 15 passes.
According to The Yorkshire Evening Post, captain Liam Bridcutt is set to return to training next week after breaking a bone in his foot.
The 27-year-old has missed well over two months of the season and Monk be thankful that he has the option to use him again – when he is fit enough, of course.
