Leeds United recorded a comfortable 5-2 win against Newcastle on Wednesday evening.

Leeds deservedly won a seven-goal thriller against Newcastle 5-2 to move level on points with the Magpies, eight points clear of the relegation zone.

The visitors went in front against the run of play at Elland Road when Jeff Hendrick volleyed beyond Illan Meslier from Callum Wilson's flick on.

Patrick Bamford quickly levelled with his eighth goal of the season before Rodrigo headed Leeds in front for the first time early in the second-half.

This time Leeds' lead lasted only four minutes before Ciaran Clark met Ryan Fraser's corner.

However, the dominance of Marcelo Bielsa's men was rewarded as Stuart Dallas, Ezgjan Alioski and Jack Harrison all struck in the final 13 minutes.
