RAMAZANI SPARES THE BLUSHES OF WHITES

LARGIE Ramazani’s second-half header sealed Leeds victory and ensured they avoided a cup upset against Yorkshire rivals Harrogate Town.

Ramazani’s solitary effort settled the first-ever competitive meeting between the two sides and was all Leeds had to show for their dominance against the League Two side at Elland Road.

Leeds struck the woodwork once in each half through Mateo Joseph and Manor Solomon, but struggled to carve out clear-cut chances against their resilient visitors, who are 69 places below them in the Football League standings.

Championship promotionchasers Leeds have been famously dumped out of the Cup by Crawley, Newport, Sutton, Rochdale and Histon since 2008, but despite the narrow scoreline against Harrogate, they comfortably avoided another embarrassment.
