At last Leeds get a win, the first one under Simon Grayson, and ends their nightmare run, still way out of the playoff places, but maybe Grayson can restore some confidence and build on this new start.

Late goals from Fabian Delph and substitute Malcolm Christie secured Simon Grayson his first victory since taking over as Leeds manager.

Stockport were ahead on three minutes as Johnny Mullins followed up to net after Karl Baker's shot was blocked.

Leeds' Jermaine Beckford hit the bar with an overhead kick, before Luciano Becchio equalised from close range.

Delph pounced from long range after 73 minutes, then Christie smashed home a half-volley with four minutes to go.
