    Leeds move up to 11th after a fifth win in six league games, while Middlesbrough remain top of the Championship but only a point ahead of Bournemouth and Derby County, who play Brentford and Sheffield Wednesday respectively later on in the 15:00 GMT kick-offs.

    It's time to sign off but what a game. See you later and enjoy the rest of the footie this afternoon.

    Leeds keeper Marco Silvestri speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm happy and lucky. But it was not just me, it was the whole team. We need to continue to play well."

    "A fantastic victory for Leeds, but it's a really disappointing result for Middlesbrough. That early goal rocked them and they seemed to panic a bit, I'm surprised by that. They never showed composure in the final third. Marco Silvestri made 10 good saves, but every single one you would have to say you would expect him to make. Maybe Leeds deserved it for their sheer effort."

    Inspired, resilient, hard-fought. Leeds showed all three to beat top-of-the-table Middlesbrough, who lose for the first time in 11 league games.

    One late chance for Boro as Albert Adomah has a sight on goal but, as has been the case so often in this match, Marco Silvestri saves. Adomah was offside anyway.

    "Sometimes when one of your players gets a serious injury it can cause a bit of worry and slow a team's tempo. That appears to be the case here with Middlesbrough. Leeds will try to use up as much time as possible now, to kill the game off."

    Rather than Boro creating the chances, it's Leeds. Rodolph Austin strikes a powerful long range shot and keeper Tomas Mejias palms the effort over.

    Giuseppe Bellusci eventually hobbles off and is replaced by Liam Cooper.

    Middlesbrough striker Jelle Vossen is carried off on a stretcher and it looks like the home side will have to finish the game with 10 men as manager Aitor Karanka has already made his three substitutions.

    "This is clearly a serious injury for Jelle Vossen. There are four medical staff around him at the moment. There is going to be a long delay and there is a worry for me because Vossen has not moved. We hope he is OK. He has been moved onto a stretcher but sadly this does look very serious.

    "Middlesbrough have been looking more and more panicky with the ball as the game has gone on. They have been trying to force the issue rather than remaining calm and playing the same way they have all season, playing passes that aren't there, crosses that were never on."

    Middlesbrough have Jelle Vossen injured on the floor and having treatment.

    Rodolph Austin is through on the Boro goal but his shot is saved by Tomas Mejias. The Leeds midfielder appeared marginally offside but no flag was raised.

    When Leeds go forward they are creating decent chances but just can't take them. Another sees Sam Byram drive a ball across the area but Scott Wooton can't sort his feet out at the far post and puts an effort wide.

    "We said earlier on that it might be one of those days for Middlesbrough. We're approaching the final 10 minutes now and you feel there won't be enough time for them to win this game, to score twice. They might get one back, but once you reach the last 10 and you're defending a lead, it's tin hats on, throw your body in the way. No matter how tired you are, it doesn't matter."

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:53 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    It's a last throw of the dice by Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka as he throws on Adam Forshaw for Grant Leadbitter.
