Leeds go marchin on

Leeds travelled to Bournemouth on Tuesday night for the first time in 17 years. Leeds were looking to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat at Dean Court. The traveling Leeds fans were expecting a good start and that's what they got. Four minutes in former cherry striker Tresor Kandol was released through on goal and his initial shot was poor but the Bournemouth goalkeeper Neil Moss spilled the ball and Kandol was able to tap in. It was a scrappy start to the game and the next chance fell for Leeds with Kandol heading over. Kuffour had the first real chance for Bournemouth with a hefted chip just landing the wrong side of the far post. The Cherries started to take control off the game and the well deserved equalizer then came. Karacan scored from long range with a stunning unstoppable effort. The cherries were lifted by the equalizer and had one blocked on the line.

Both sides came close at the start of the second half and it was the home team coming the closest. It came from a corner and all it needed was a touch but Alex pearce arrived a moment to late. Minutes later David Pruttons header was saved comfortably by the goalkeeper. Then Leeds regained the lead through Seb Carole. A nice one two finished with a brilliant strike. Sixty-two minutes in to the game Lee Bradbury won Bournemouth a free kick but seconds later shown a red card for using his elbow on Matt Heath. The home side found it difficult to brake through but did cause problems in the Leeds penalty area. With 5 minutes remaining Leeds wrapped up the points with Kandols 8th goal of the season.

The final score was 3-1 and Leeds proved it was just an off day Saturday evening when they played Carlisle.
