Leeds United outclass struggling Plymouth Argyle as they consolidate second place in the Championship.
Leeds United outclassed struggling Plymouth Argyle as they consolidated second place in the Championship with a comfortable win at Elland Road.
Argyle changed their shape at the break as they went to a back four, and while they kept Leeds out they failed to register a shot in the entire game. Wayne Rooney made six changes from the Argyle side that drew 3-3 with Preston as he changed all four of his forward players with 19-year-old Caleb Roberts making a first start and Ryan Hardie coming in up front.
Having had 80% possession, Leeds finally broke through thanks to James' excellent strike after a corner was only half cleared, and moments later Piroe was there to poke home after Ao Tanaka's cross clipped Victor Palsson's heel as Argyle failed to clear. Wilfried Gnonto dragged a right-footed shot wide of the far post after being put through by Aaronson with 25 minutes to go while Piroe curled high over the bar 12 minutes later after a neat one-two on the edge of the box.
Plymouth Argyle have won just one of their 20 league visits to Elland Road to face Leeds , a 3-2 victory in February 1962.
