Leeds took on Hull at the KC Stadium.

Leeds United's Tyler Roberts celebrates scoring his side's second goal

Leeds United got back to winning ways with a 1-0 victory against Hull City with Tyler Roberts scoring the winner.

It ended a run of two games without a win which had seen them overtaken at the top of the Championship.

Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan has had his say on the win.

He told BBC Radio Leeds: “There’s no doubt we are creating the chances, we are just struggling to convert.

“It could have been more comfortable.”

Leeds dominated Sheffield Wednesday on Friday evening in their last game but had little to show for it, coming away with just a 1-1 draw.

The performance against Hull was more disjointed, but the result was better.

The Whites have been dealing with a number of injuries over the past month, with £7 million signing Patrick Bamford ruled out until January.

Third choice forward Tyler Roberts stepped up to score Leeds’ opener, striking from 25 yards out.

This was his third goal in five games since coming into the side, and ended a run of two scoreless matches.

The one downside was defender Barry Douglas picking up an injury midway through the second half.
