Following a 2-2 draw with Swansea last time out, Leeds were keen to get back to winning ways, and did so in style.

Despite the 'Canaries' looking bright from the off, their new 'pink dressing room idea' evidently did not pay off.

Teemi Pukki had perhaps the best chance for Norwich after finding a gap in the Leeds defence, but was soon closed down by the towering Pontus Jansson.

The 'Whites' took the lead in the 21st minute, as Alioski saw his header parried to a thankful Klich, who stroked home from 15 yards.

Bielsa's side doubled their advantage five minutes later when some neat play between Kemar Roofe and Barry Douglas ended in a powerful strike from Alioski, which Tim Krul - in the Norwich goal - perhaps should have done better with.

Hernandez made the three points certain for Leeds after curling an effort into the bottom corner past Krul in the 67th minute.

The Yorkshire side will face Preston on Tuesday night in the second round of the League Cup.
