FULL SPEED AHEAD DAN

Farke's fitting tribute to icon

- DAVE CRAVEN

SAM BYRAM, Joel Piroe and Dan James scored as Leeds reclaimed Championship top spot on the night they saluted legendary Gary Speed.

It's been 13 years since the Leeds icon, who wore the No.11 shirt with such grace and distinction, tragically died aged 42.

Fittingly, Byram's brilliant scissor-kick opener came moments before the Elland Road crowd rose to pay tribute to the former Wales ace in the 11th minute.

Leeds boss Daniel Farke made one change to the side that twice came from behind to win 4-3 in Sunday's wild contest at Swansea.

James enjoyed three assists in that game, but was dropped to the bench with Willy Gnonto coming into the starting line-up.
