Hull City came from behind to earn a 2-1 half-time lead over Leeds United in a Yorkshire derby at Elland Road tonight.

Sunderland loanee Ahmed Elmohamady scored one and assisted the other as the Tigers cancelled out Luciano Becchio's penalty with a quickfire double.

Argentine forward Becchio had given Leeds an early advantage when he converted from the spot following Joe Dudgeon's foul on El Hadji Diouf.

The hosts would have extended their lead were it not for a great double save from Ben Amos, who twice denied Rudolph Austin.

Elmohamady levelled the scores on 23 minutes when he struck powerfully past Paddy Kenny after Whites defender Tom Rees misplaced a pass in the box.

The Egyptian international turned provider when his cross was headed in by summer signing Abdoulaye Faye six minutes later.
