ADVANTAGE Leeds in the incredible threeclub race to the Premier League.

Crysencio Summervill­e (pictured) scored twice, and made another, to fire Leeds into second in the Championsh­ip.

It was an explosive first half with FIVE goals in the first 38 minutes.

Boro took the lead after seven minutes through Isaiah Jones who tapped into an empty net.

He pounced on a mix up in the United defence.

But Leeds came roaring back with two goals in four minutes,.

Georginio Rutter burst into the area and was tripped by Anfernee Dijksteel and referee Tony Harrington awarded the kick. Summervill­e stepped up to level with the game 14 minutes old.

Then Patrick Bamford put them ahead.

Junior Firpo curled in a lovely cross behind the defence and Bamford got ahead of Seny Dieng to bump it over the line with his stomach.

Grabbed

Latte Lath grabbed the equaliser for Boro .

Wilfried Gnonto was offside when he received a neat pass from Summervill­e after great work from Archie Gray, and finished expertly.

Summervill­e sealed the crucial win on the hour, adding to his penalty with a brilliant individual strike, cutting inside two Boro defenders to curl home from a tight angle.

Lath got his second of the night with a looping back header with three minutes left.
