Pascal Struijk and Mateo Joseph struck second-half goals to secure maximum points for Leeds United.
Boss Daniel Farke admitted a sense of relief that Leeds United finally broke their set piece "curse" in their home victory over Sheffield United.
Farke told Sky Sports that he is a "big believer" in set pieces and and felt a goal from a dead ball situation was "coming". He said: "It's good that this curse is over. We know that we can score out of this situation. We have to add a few more. I'm pretty happy today for our specialists who work on this and it worked exactly the way that we planned it."
"Big compliments to the lads after not the easiest of preparation. We played excellent today. It was a very mature performance. We faced a side today who were unbeaten in the league and had kept six clean sheets in a row. It was important to have a good balance; we wanted to create chances but we wanted to control their counters. The lads executed it in a perfect way and we deserved to win the game. The lads were very flexible and adaptable.
