Pontus Jansson and Eunan O’Kane react to Leeds United victory.
Leeds United moved up to fifth in the Championship with a hard-fought 2-1 win at Rotherham United on Saturday evening.
The Whites looked to be cruising toward a routine victory when Chris Wood opened the scoring, before Peter Odemwingie’s red card saw Rotherham reduced to 10 men.
Souleymane Doukara then doubled Leeds’ advantage before half time and it seemed like only a miracle would prevent Garry Monk’s side from taking three points.
But United struggled to build on their lead throughout a cagey second half and Richard Wood grabbed an 86th-minute consolation.
It was a backs-to-the-wall performance from Monk’s boys in the closing stages, but they held on to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat by Newcastle last time around.
One man who knew how tough it was late on was centre-back Pontus Jansson, while Eunan O’Kane, whose passing was heavily criticised by Leeds fans afterwards, also reacted to the victory on Twitter at full time.
The Whites visit Anfield in a League Cup quarter-final with Liverpool in midweek, before then hosting Aston Villa in another huge game next Saturday.
