Leeds fans loved watching their team get one on Garry Monk’s Middlesbrough side.
Garry Monk’s return to Elland Road to take on Leeds United had been circled as soon as fixture lists were announced.

Leeds answered their critics with a 2-1 victory, with new boss Thomas Christiansen ensuring his side made a statement.
