English League Division One match at Elland Road. Leeds United 1 v West Bromwich
English League Division One match at Elland Road.
Leeds United 1 v West Bromwich Albion 2.
Jeff Astle touches into an empty net and so scores the goal that sparked a riot at Elland Road.
Albion, already 1-0 up on title-chasing Leeds and playing superbly, got lucky when the officials decided that a clearly offside Colin Suggett was not interfering with play. LeedsO defenders stopped and Tony Brown, who had opened the scoring in characteristic fashion, crossed for Astle Ð also possibly offside Ð to nudge in. After the pitch had been cleared of irate home spectators, Leeds hit back late on through boyhood Albion fan Allan Clarke but AlbionOs 2-1 victory was thoroughly deserved and handed the initiative to Arsenal in the championship race.
