Leeds United locked horns with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result on their travels. The Whites made a poor start to the game as they conceded the opening goal in the 16th minute when Robin Koch scored an unfortunate own goal. Harvey Barnes went on to double the home side’s advantage in the 35th minute as Leeds went into the half-time break 2-0 down on the scoreline.
