Wilson fury as Leeds show class

Goal-machine Jermaine Beckford helped himself to another two goals, making his tally five in two games, as Leeds put Hartlepool United to the sword at Elland Road this afternoon.

Joel Porter had cancelled out Beckford's headed opener to send the sides in level at the break. However, the second half was a different story with the White's marauding attack striking three more times without reply. Fabian Delph celebrated his midweek England U21 debut by firing Leeds infront five minutes after the restart.

Argentinian striker Luciano Becchio again showed his worth by firing his 11th goal of an increasingly productive season just past the hour mark. Fittingly Beckford had the final say in added time. It was a performance that left Pool's boss Danny Wilson seething. 

'I've said it before and I'll say it again, as long as we're conceding sloppy goals, there is no way we're going to win football matches,' lamented Wilson. 'The penny hasn't dropped yet clearly but it will do because the third and fourth goals today killed us really and they could have been prevented.'

'Don't get me wrong, Leeds are a quality side with a very very strong squad but we made chances against them as we knew we would and it could have been a lot different today.'
