Leeds United defeat Middlesbrough 2-1 at Elland Road.

Leeds United have come from one down to defeat Middlesbrough 2-1 at Elland Road with two goals from Luciano Becchio.

Middlesbrough started very brightly indeed, with Lukas Jutkiewicz firing just wide from outside the box and Scott McDonald shooting over inside the opening three minutes.

Boro continued to threaten and Jutkiewicz headed wide on six minute before Michael Tonge had Leeds's first chance with a free kick on 13, but Jason Steele was equal to it.

The game turned scrappy with both sides giving away free kicks and being caught offside.

On the half-hour mark the visitors were ahead, and it was the threatening Jutkiewicz who fired into the top corner from inside the box.

Then, just before the break, Becchio finished high from inside the box to pull his side level.

Jutkiewicz shot just wide from close range just after the restart and probably should have found the net.

Middlesbrough continued to dominate and Paddy Kenny was forced into two saves before 60 minutes, first from Grant Leadbitter and then from Jutkiewicz.

Leeds completed the turnaround in the 72nd minute with Becchio latching onto El-Hadji Diouf's cross and heading home.

Leeds managed to hang on for a somewhat fortuitous three points.
