Bristol Rovers 0-3 Leeds United
Leeds move out of relegation zone for the first time this season with an emphatic victory against a Bristol Rovers side that had not lost a game since March.
Jermaine Beckford opened the scoring with an clever finish on 9 minutes, Kandol doubled the advantage with 15 minutes to go, and Beckford made it safe with his second goal of the game in stoppage time.
Leeds had to withstand a large amount of pressure from the home side throughout the game, but it was the visitors who created the most chances and ultimately ended up comfortable winners.
The result takes Leeds to within one win of equalling their best ever start to a season (7 wins in 1973), and ensures that their 100% record stays intact for another 8 days at least.
F**king amazing stuff, would never have dreamed we'd still be 100% after our first 6 games given the shite excuse for a summer we've had, but Dennis Wise has worked damn-near miracles since coming here. Kandol and Beckford once again showing themselves to be arguably the best strikeforce in the division, Carole appears to have been a real threat down the wing again, and our defence stayed solid against a continued amount of pressure (or at least, that's how it looked on the text updates :animatedfear: :hahaha:).
Above Forest now as well, who'd have thought THAT when our 15 points were whisked away? :yikes:
We are the Champions, Champions of League One :gaydance: :nodyes:
