Leeds back in the playoff places, Beckford scoring twice with the winner in the 69th minute, Scunthorpe still have a game in hand, but Leeds have a big game against Oldham on Monday night, a win there could move them further up.

Leeds 3-2 Scunthorpe
Leeds survived a Scunthorpe fightback to secure all three points and move back into the play-off places.

Jermaine Beckford opened the scoring against his old club from Jonny Howson's cross, before Bradley Johnson saw his deflected shot make it 2-0.

But Gary Hooper capitalised on some poor defending to pull one back, before he ran through unchallenged to level.

Beckford hammered in from 12 yards to win it before Leeds had Howson sent off for two bookable offences.
