Gelhardt lobbed Reds 'keeper Marcelo Pitaluga for the opener, after which Leeds doubled their advantage through Amari Miller who slammed home from Gelhardt's cross.

Pascal Struijk then thumped home a header from a corner to Leeds 3-0 up just after the hour mark before Gelhardt rifled home a stunning second with a shot from 30 yards out that flew into the top left corner.

The forward was then presented with the opportunity to bag a hat-trick when chopped down for a penalty but the teenager saw his spot kick saved.

The contest also saw first team midfielder Adam Forshaw bag half an hour of football as a second half substitute on his return from a calf strain.
