Leeds United produced a first-half procession en route to a 4-1 blitz of Saturday's Championship visitors Huddersfield Town in a lunchtime Yorkshire derby at Elland Road.
The mesmerising Crysencio Summerville and Dan James both bagged first-half braces to put Daniel Farke's side 4-0 up in a first half in which Georginio Rutter once again dazzled. Huddersfield eventually pulled a goal back midway through the second half through Michal Helik who cashed in after Illan Meslier had spilled a shot but Leeds were already home and dry in front of a season-high crowd of 36,813 inside Elland Road.
Huddersfield's Thomas then entered the book for a reckless challenge down the back of Byram before Brahima Diarra was also yellow carded and the Whites should have added a fourth goal 41st minute but James blazed over the bar in search of a rapid hat trick after Summerville's shot had been saved following more superb work from Rutter.
