Leeds finally made the advantage pay nine minutes from full-time. Jay DeMerit's slip allowed Richard Cresswell to scamper down the left and, although David Healy's initial shot was blocked, Robbie Blake's second goal of the night allowed Leeds to leapfrog Watford once more as the closest challengers to Sheffield United.
