Kemar and Pablo at the double to sink City

ELLAND ROAD went through the Roofe as Leeds got their promotion push back on track.

Kemar Roofe sent his side on their way to victory with his 69th-minute opener to help wipe out the bitter memory of that last game hammering at West Brom.

And Pablo Hernandez, after playing a huge role in Roofe’s strike, scored three minutes from time to send a packed house home in ecstatic mood.

Bristol City will point to the 55th-minute sendingoff of Josh Brownhill for two yellow cards as the turning point of the game.

And Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa wouldn’t argue with that thought as he got back to winning ways.

Bielsa said: “The fact we played with one more player made it easy for us. It’s difficult to think that we deserved to lose the game. We dominated for long parts.

“I could see that we virtually didn’t concede any chances to the opposition.”

Bielsa (right) was delighted with Hernandez’s performance and added: “Pablo is always a player with a lot of influence. He always improves the style of our team and when he scores goals he’s even more important.”

His opposite number, Lee Johnson, left Yorkshire cursing his side’s bad luck in having Brownhill dis- missed so early into the game.

But Johnson believed, too, that Bristol City could journey back to the West Country with their heads held high, even in defeat.

Johnson said: “We were looking like a side which was going to win the game. I was very pleased with the performance.

“Our shape was good. We hustled. We harried. And it was important we got our identity back. The back four worked extremely hard.

“The individuals will go away knowing that they will have got their game back. Leeds are a good side but we nullified them for long periods.”
