Captain Liam Cooper opened the scoring before Tyler Roberts (pictured) scored his first goals for the club to exact revenge on the Lilywhites.

Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa says it was a performance with little to criticise:

"Individual performances were important and our offensive game and defensive game were good. There are few things to criticise in this game," said Bielsa.

"Our team was very dynamic and what we tried to do made us make links between the movement of players.

"We have to underline the good performances of the individuals. Each one was high."

A long-forgotten mural by the artist Alan Boyson may exist inside the former BHS building in Hull, it's being claimed.

A campaign is already under way to save Boyson's famous Three Ships mural (below) on the front of the building.

But Chris Marsden, an architectural historian and Alan Boyson expert, now says a photo from the 1960s (below) shows this mural on the top floor of the building:

If it's still there, Mr Marsden says it would be "quite a find", but it could well have been covered up with paint or wallpaper.

He was reported missing shortly before 16:00 on Tuesday after he left his home in Harehills in the morning.

He was then seen in the Armley area of the city later last night.

He's described as 5ft 10ins tall, clean shaven with mousy brown hair. He was wearing a long-sleeved navy top and grey tracksuit bottoms.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is being asked to contact police.

Plans being discussed to protect York from a potential terror attack are only precautionary, the city council's leader has emphasised.

Two key council committees are set to discuss the plans over the next fortnight and it comes after the authority commissioned security experts to develop a plan to combat the threat of what it calls "vehicle weapon attacks."

Concrete anti-terror blocks (pictured) were installed outside the city's historic Minster last year.

But Conservative council leader Cllr Ian Gillies says there is no direct threat to the city.

He says: "The worst thing would be for us not to do anything and for something to happen.

"So, effectively what we're doing is taking some means to protect residents and visitors against any potential terrorist threat - but it's under review constantly."

The Competitions and Markets Authority (CMA) is to move to a further, "in-depth" investigation of the proposed merger between Leeds-based Asda and Sainsbury's.

The so-called Phase 2 inquiry is being opened after an initial probe in August raised "sufficient concerns" for further investigation.

"The companies are two of the largest grocery retailers in the UK and their stores overlap in hundreds of local areas, where shoppers could face higher prices or a worse quality of service," said the CMA, external.

Other issues the new inquiry will look at including issues relating to fuel, general merchandise - such as clothing - and increased "buyer power’" over suppliers.

The group will gather evidence - in particular through multiple customer surveys and engagement with other retailers, suppliers and industry bodies - to inform its detailed analysis.

Members of the public and other interested groups will be invited to give their views on this.

Talks are expected to take place later to try and resolve the row which has led to a series of strikes on trains run by operator Northern.

The disagreement over the role of guards has lasted for more than a year and has led to strike action on services across Yorkshire.

The union says passenger safety will be put at risk by getting rid of guards and extending driver-only services.

The rail safety regulator says driver-only trains is safe - a position that has been supported by the government, external.

But rail unions disagree, saying the on-board conductor or guard has a much better view of the doors and can stop people getting trapped.

Rotherham Council has been under government control since February 2015 after a report revealed, external 1,400 girls had been abused in the town.

Communities Secretary James Brokenshire confirmed the government was "returning all powers to the authority".

Three remaining commissioners will be withdrawn on 24 September.

Earlier this year, when the move was first mooted, council leader Chris Read said it was "recognition of all the work that has gone in".

Services have been gradually returned to the council since the intervention began.

The final services to be handed back include child social services.
