Dave Hockaday - Great Leeds United team performance against Middlesbrough
Vital Leeds 16/8/14
Leeds United first team coach says he couldn`t have asked for any more as Leeds secured their first win of the season against Middlesbrough.
Striker Billy Sharp scored the only goal of the game on his debut with just two minutes remaining and Hockaday was pleased with a great team performance.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Hockaday said, "It took a goal poacher to sneak the win for us.
"To come away with a clean sheet and the three points, I cannot ask for any more.
"It was a great team performance for a young inexperienced team."
Sharp had already had Leeds best chance of the game when he headed wide with just twelve minutes remaining but he made no mistake ten minutes later when he was first to react after the Middlesbrough goalkeeper could only parry the ball.
In a tight game of very few clear-cut chances, Middlesbrough will complain after Albert Adomah had a goal disallowed in the first half. Adomah scored with a bicycle kick but referee Stuart Attwell ruled out the effort for a high boot.
