A Chris Wood header delivered Leeds United into third in England's football Championship with a 1-0 victory over Derby County.
Leeds squandered numerous opportunities, including 11 corners, before the All Whites striker headed Pablo Hernandez's corner past goalkeeper Scott Carson on half-time.
Wood met Hernandez's delivery at the near post
and glanced it in, making it the eighth time this season he has scored the first goal in a game.
Their margin of victory may have been greater during the first 45 minutes, but Liam Bridcutt, Souleymane Doukara and Kyle Bartley all missed opportunities.
