League One - Last-gasp Leeds return to summit

Eurosport - Mon, 19 Oct 11:44:00 2009

Jermaine Beckford punished an injury-time blunder by Norwich goalkeeper Fraser Forster to give Leeds a 2-1 victory which sent them back to the top of League One.

2009 Jermaine Beckford - 0

Norwich had looked the more purposeful and assured side and seemed destined to take a point until Forster sent a clearance straight to Beckford, who atoned for earlier misses by advancing and shooting past the on-loan keeper.

Leeds seized a 15th-minute lead when Bradley Johnson grabbed his sixth goal of the season, leaping at the far post to head home a corner from the right by Robert Snodgrass.

Home keeper Shane Higgs, recalled after injury, had struggled to complete a couple of saves from Darel Russell and Wes Hoolahan and was replaced by Casper Ankergren after only 17 minutes.

The equaliser arrived in the 38th minute, Canaries captain Grant Holt pouncing on Simon Lappin's low cross from the right and escaping his marker to fire his 10th goal of the season, but Beckford had the final say.

  2. Hey Tummy-where've you been? Watching Dehli United­ again?
    Funny how you haven't been on here for a­ while - at least you've not changed- spouting your­ usual tripe.
    When we played Charlton we had the 3rd­ highest attendance in ALL divisions!
    Nearly 20,000 on a­ monday night when it's on sky is not that bad a­ turnout.
    Glad you're back though-missed having a­ laugh at your comments!
