Leeds United 0-2 Birmingham City
- Published
Birmingham City kept up their unbeaten record on the road in the Championship as they claimed all three points against Leeds United at Elland Road.
The visitors took the lead when Clayton Donaldson deflected Stephen Gleeson's ball to Demarai Gray, who fired home.
Leeds could have equalised through Stuart Dallas' curling effort but Blues keeper Tomasz Kuszczak palmed it away.
Jacques Maghoma sealed Blues' win in the first minute of injury time after latching onto a loose ball.
Gary Rowett's side move up two places to fourth with their third away league win of the season, while Leeds have not won at home for seven months.
Blues came close to taking the lead midway through the first half when David Cotterill's free kick found David Davis who drilled just over the bar.
They broke the deadlock when Donaldson latched onto Gleeson's fine cross and teed up Gray to smash high past Marco Silvestri.
Leeds fought back and could have restored parity before the break but Kuszczak made an excellent fingertip save to deny a curling effort from Dallas.
Kuszczak again denied Leeds from equalising with a superb save to deny Cook who beat the visitors' back line to run through on goal. But, in added time, Blues doubled their lead when Maghoma struck a low shot past Silvestri.
Leeds manager Uwe Rosler:
"It was a bad day at the office. I am not panicking or asking for two or three fresh players. That would be wrong. We have to come up with the answers collectively in the dressing room.
"The players want to do well, they prepare well and train well but for some reason we don't get the best from them at Elland Road."
Birmingham boss Gary Rowett:
"That was our seventh game in 21 days so the odds were stacked against us, but that was a textbook away performance.
"To limit Leeds to one half-chance, which was brilliantly saved, was very pleasing."
