Daniel Farke’s Whites were on the front foot from the off and went ahead after just 12 minutes through Junior Firpo who converted from close range after a Mateo Joseph cross. Leeds took a 1-0 advantage into the interval and doubled their advantage just after the hour mark through a neat finish from Georginio Rutter after Town failed to clear a Crysencio Summerville corner.
Summerville then squandered a fine chance to bag a third when racing away one-on-one only to fire wide but Leeds hit the back of the net one last time in the 90th minute through youngster Sam Chambers who blasted home a powerful finish from the edge of the box.
Leeds United writer Lee Sobot hands out the scores from the Exercise Stadium where Harry Gray, younger brother of Archie, was also handed a Whites debut from the bench.

8 - Byram the centre back, and a very good one on this display as part of a back three after the break, linked up very well with James down the right. Could see him thriving as the right centre-half in a back three. Photo: Jess Hornby

7 - Similar to Ampadu and Rodon, solid enough at the back in a three. Above all else, great to see him back, first outing in front of fans since Boxing Day. Photo: Richard Sellers

7 - Very quiet at first as a wing back but grew into the game, twice went close to scoring and some good defending too. Photo: Richard Sellers

6 - The youngster was brought on at the break into centre midfield for what was also his Whites debut which is easy to forget given last season's stellar progress for the Whites youngsters and also Wales. Initially struggled and booked for a challenge on the edge of the box but not afraid to get stuck in and eventually settled and looked the part. Better days ahead. Photo: Richard Sellers

7 - Played in a much more central role and struggled to get going like everybody knows he can but excellent corner for the Rutter goal and still caused plenty of problems. Photo: Ed Sykes

7 - The forgotten man to a degree, but still only 22 and no doubting his talent and still potential. This was a step back towards the Bielsa displays, looked full of verve and generally a step back in the right direction. Bordering on an 8/10. Photo: Steve Bardens
