McAnuff swoops for high-flying Eagles as limp Leeds slip up

Leeds 0 Crystal Palace 1

Leeds started the game with the prospect of moving within one point of faltering Sheffield United, who occupy second spot but this defeat means they remain fourth following Watford’s victory last night.

Jobi McAnuff scored the all-important goal two minutes from half-time to inflict on the hosts only their second defeat in 16 games - and move Palace to within eight points of the Blades.
