Leeds 2-0 Aston Villa: Garry Monk's side move up to fourth in the Championship

Kemar Roofe netted his first goal for Leeds as Garry Monk's side moved up to fourth in the Sky Bet Championship with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Elland Road.

The 23-year-old, who hit the post during the midweek EFL Cup defeat at Liverpool, went one better here to end his 22-game goal drought since joining the Whites from Oxford for £3million in the summer.

Roofe brought a scrappy game to life by heading home in the 68th minute before Chris Wood netted his 13th goal of the season at the death to give Leeds a win, their fifth in seven home matches, that underlines their promotion credentials this season.
