The day Leeds United sealed a League Cup final date

They did it at the expense of Birmingham City on a Sunday afternoon in February 1996, with a second half powerhouse performance yielding three unanswered goals to break the resolve of Barry Fry’s Blues and seal a League Cup final date with their second-city rivals Aston Villa in the process.

But despite being made to fight for it, Leeds eventually found a way thanks to goals from a trio of strikers Phil Masinga, Tony Yeboah and Brian Deane.
