00:00...the reward for fielding a three-man attack.

00:03Trevor Sinclair was given his preferred central striker's role in those games,

00:08but Danny Diccio, four inches taller, is likely to be the target man tonight

00:13in a trio that includes Kevin Gallon.

00:16Well, Diccio included in a 4-3-3 line-up because Andrew Impey failed a fitness test

00:21and Ian Holloway needed treatment all day on an Achilles injury to make this starting 11.

00:27While Leeds have been triumphant in cup competitions,

00:32Coca-Cola finalists and FA Cup quarter-finalists,

00:35their league form has slumped only one win in the last seven Premier League games.

00:40There's one change from the team beaten 1-0 by Bolton last week.

00:44Brian Dean is dropped and young Mark Ford is brought into a central midfield role.

00:49Tony Yeboah is the top scorer with 17,

00:52but record signing Thomas Broline has still not secured a regular place.

00:56this is only his second start in the last eight games.

01:03Graham Pohl from Tring just checking that we have the appropriate number of players on each side.

01:10Andy Gray.

01:13Yeboah!

01:13He was in front of the defender and that gave QPR's defence no chance at all.

01:25It's Yeboah's 18th goal of the season

01:27and you'd have to ask serious questions of the defenders.

01:30There's nobody there really to make a challenge with him.

01:36Yates and Reddy look at each other.

01:38It's a shared responsibility.

01:40And when you've got somebody with the lethal touch of Tony Yeboah in that sort of position,

01:48the marking's got to be better than that.

01:50The great strike.

01:53Again, reminiscent of his father, Frank.

01:55Just 18 years of age.

02:00Struck it well with the left foot.

02:04Looking to crown his first start of the season with a goal.

02:08And Leeds looking to extend their lead.

02:11Sinclair tries to pick up the bits and pieces.

02:14He's got the better of weather all.

02:17To the back post.

02:18Oh, it was just an inch or two.

02:20Too high for Kevin Gallen.

02:23Still Yeboah!

02:27Well, Leeds have just unstitched that Queen's Park Rangers defence with ease.

02:34Carl Reddy came out of a central position.

02:36He shouted to teammates that the ball would be his, but he didn't win it.

02:39And then when Leeds were in possession, QPR were all over the place.

02:43And to cap it all, the final indignity.

02:50A shot through the legs of Jürgen Sommer.

02:5425 minutes gone.

02:55Yeboah gets his second.

02:57That's 19 already for the season.

02:59And he's well on target to make it 30 goals for Leeds come the middle of May.

03:05My goodness me.

03:06But for the acrobatics of John Lutich with a wonder save.

03:13Yes!

03:20It's just what the doctor ordered.

03:23It's Kevin Gallen's fourth goal of the season.

03:27And Rangers have pegged one back.

03:31Dikio with that surging run managed to keep it going when it looked as though he'd lost possession.

03:36And the clever bit by Kevin Gallen was the fact that he hit it across the face of the keeper into the other corner.

03:44Managed to get his foot right rounded and it went through the legs of Radibi.

03:52Ray Wilkins.

03:54It was well placed.

03:55But there wasn't sufficient.

04:01There was a sufficient pace on it to embarrass Lukic.

04:11Good header.

04:13That was a fine header by Holloway.

04:16He wasn't sure of his place until an hour or so before kick-off.

04:20That's a searching cross.

04:21Dikio.

04:22This is Kwasi.

04:26That's a corner.

04:32Rangers still hunt their equaliser.

04:38And Dikio still carries the threat.

04:46Yes!

04:46Oh, look it!

04:48Holloway Barker!

04:49Yes!

04:52Lukic with another great save.

04:56And...

04:56Brolin's cross.

05:00Trying to pick out Gary McAllister.

05:02Flipped down by Bardsley.

05:05Here's Barker.

05:08Gallen.

05:10Sinclair.

05:14Runs inside Radibi.

05:16Sinclair!

05:16At the last minute.

05:19Weatherall.

05:21Is the guilty man.

05:23And almost has won.

05:24The crowd behind that goal.

05:26Drew Graham Pohl's attention.

05:29To the infringement.

05:34Well, the hands were up.

05:36Conscious that Dikio may have got the better of him.

05:39And that's given QPR the lifeline from the penalty spot.

05:48Gallen's effort saved by Lukic.

05:53And John Lukic is a real heartbreaker for Rangers tonight.

05:58Three times in open plays made great saves.

06:02And they couldn't even beat him in the penalty spot.

06:03There's still plenty left in this match.

06:11But it wasn't a well-taken penalty.

06:13It was too close to the keeper.

06:17Boer got there first.

06:20As Summer came off his line.

06:23And my, that couldn't have been closer, could it?

06:25David Bartley.

06:30Sinclair with Worthington right behind him.

06:38He's kept it.

06:42And then handball.

06:48Indications were that the player certainly felt it hit his chest.

06:55But both central defenders up now for QPR.

07:02Carl Reddy.

07:03Grateful to see it in the hands of their goalkeeper.

07:05And the final whistle goes.

07:09Rangers have shown the fighting spirit that you would expect from a team in their position.

07:13And they'll be grateful that they don't meet a goalkeeper like John Lukic.

07:17Too often in the games that remain.

07:19A series of super saves after Tony Yeboah had given Leeds the lead by two goals to nil.
