James fires home early winner to put Leeds back on track

- IAN MURTAGH

LEEDS' push for promotion is back on track as they rediscovered the winning habit at the Riverside to return to the top of the table.

Ice-cool Daniel Farke always wondered what all the fuss was about after a run of just one win in six games sent their fan-base into collective apoplexy.

A glance at his record against Boro eight wins out of nine before kick-off - should have settled pre-match nerves.

And if they didn't, Dan James' second-minute goal surely did the trick.

For all Boro's second-half pressure, the outcome was effectively settled before they had launched an attack of their own.
