A Left footed thunderbolt from Danny Tiatto and Ian Hume`s 3rd goal in 2 games saw Leicester pick up their first away win this season against Leeds. The result meant that it was 2 wins in a row for Leicester and the 6 points pushed them up to 13th in the league.

Leicester dominated the game and rightly came away with all three points. Tiatto`s first of the season was reward for some good play from Leicester. Even though Tiatto had two players siding in towards him, he still managed to find the top corner.

The game tilted towards Leicester after half time when Kilgallon was sent of for Leeds after bringing down Elvis Hammond, who was clear on goal. Although Leeds have since appealed about the decision it was clear Kilgallon tried to push Hammond off the ball, even if Hammond did go down very easily.

Leeds fans will be even more upset with the fact they seemed to score a perfectly good goal. Richard Stearman twice cleared off the line in a matter of seconds, after two Leeds headers. However, the Leeds fans and players seemed convinced the ball had already gone over the line.

Their misery was compounded when minutes later Josh Low put Hume through on goal and he coolly finished. Leeds managed to pull one back in the 87th minute, thanks to a header from Paul Butler. If Leeds felt the referee was against them, they had their bit of luck as Butler seemed to knock Kisnorbo over when scoring the header.

Even so, Leicester managed to hold on until the final whistle, even though Leeds did pile the pressure on in the last couple of minutes.

Ken Bates will have had an uncomfortable journey home as Leeds fans sang ‘sort it out or f**k off home` at the final whistle. Thankfully for Leicester fans Kelly seems to have sorted Leicester out and it was City who went home with the points.
