Chopra hits winner for Cardiff to end Leeds’ 12-game unbeaten run

LEEDS’ 12-game unbeaten run came to an end last night at the hands of Cardiff as the Bluebirds eased the pressure on manager Dave Jones.

Craig Bellamy, so often a scourge of Leeds in his Newcastle days, opened the scoring for Dave Jones’ outfit in the 10th minute and, after Robert Snodgrass had curled home a wonderful 59th-minute equaliser, Michael Chopra’s opportunist strike won it for Cardiff with 11 minutes remaining.

It was the home side who struck first with Bellamy taking advantage of some slack Leeds defending to net his fifth goal of the season.
