A welcome win for Leeds United

Leeds United got back to winning ways with an important win today against Colchester at Elland Road. Two goals from Jermaine Beckford were enough to secure 3 points against an inform Colchester team.

With Charlton and Swindon dropping points Leeds have opened up a 5 point gap with Charlton and with a game in hand.

Today's game was a welcone victory for Leeds as their league form has suffered in the last few weeks, probably due to a great run in the FA Cup. Leeds play Tottenham on Wednesday night in the FA Cup replay and again it is live on ITV. Some of the Leeds' players have probably got carried away with all the publicity of the FA Cup and Leeds boss Simon Grayson appears to have given the players a kick up the backside to get them motivated in the league again.

The next few games are crucial for Leeds and they have to show that they can sustain their league form as promotion is more important than the FA Cup.
