For the second time in 5 days Leeds snatched a late victory as Mark De Vries marked his home debut with the winner against a distraught Yeovil Town. With the game seemingly heading for a draw De Vries rose high a the far post to convert a Jonathan Douglas cross and send the crowd into raptures. It was tough look on a stubborn Yeovil outfit who had been undaunted by their first ever appearance at Elland Road, but left without reward.
Leeds seemingly magical quality of scoring priceless late goals has helped overturn a 15 point deficit and power them up the table. They now stand just 6 points from the summit after an incredible opening to the season, having taken 28 points from a possible 30. And with deposed leaders Leyton Orient suffering a 5-0 hammering at home to Swansea City, next weekend clash with the O's cannot come around quickly enough.
Boss Dennis Wise was keeping his feet firmly on the ground. 'I always wait for the moment when it goes bad' he said. 'My first aim is to get us safe. You're always going to get a sticky spell. Then we've got to catch the next group. I won't even think or talk about anything more than that.'
