Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Leeds United

Charlie Taylor equalised for Leeds with his second goal of the season

Leeds' run of five straight defeats ended as they came from behind to triumph against Sheffield Wednesday in the Yorkshire derby at Hillsborough.

Steve Morison fired in the winner after Wednesday keeper Keiren Westwood saved his initial shot.

Charlie Taylor had equalised for Leeds after Chris Maguire's first-half penalty put the home side in front.

Leeds created the majority of the chances with Alex Mowatt missing two openings in the early stages.

Luke Murphy also missed a good chance for the visitors before Wednesday took the lead against the run of play when Maguire slotted home from the spot after Sam Byram fouled Lloyd Isgrove.

Wednesday, who thrashed Leeds 6-0 in this fixture last season, created little in the second half and Neil Redfearn's Leeds team deservedly picked them off.

They levelled when Taylor scrambled the ball in after a Murphy free-kick hit the Wednesday wall and broke to Morison, who set up the defender for his second goal of the season.

Welsh striker Morison then scored the winner at the second attempt 18 minutes from time after being played in by Byram.

Leeds' victory moved them into 15th, within four points of 14th-placed Wednesday, who have won only one of their last six.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Stuart Gray:

"It's disappointing because we had our noses in front but couldn't build on the Chris Maguire penalty.

"I'm disappointed for the supporters as well because we had around 24,000 in there today. I put two forwards on and we were chasing the game but it wasn't our day."

Leeds United manager Neil Redfearn:

"This result has been coming in the last two or three games. I'm pleased for the lads because they've shown a real spirit.

"It was a very good performance. I thought we were the better side despite going 1-0 down. Credit to the lads because I thought their application and understanding of how to play in this match and on this pitch was spot on."
