A poorer start couldn`t have been orchestrated as Leeds went 1-0 with ex-Cherry flop Tresor Kandol getting the goal. His pacey run outfoxed Gowling and despite a good first save by Moss the enthusiastic striker made no mistake on his second attempt. 3rd min
Bournemouth didn`t let their head drop for long, with Jo Kuffour impressing, proving a real handful for the Leeds defence.
However it was the Reading youngster Karacan with a real JEM to finish off a great team move. The midfielder connected right footed with a thunderbolt from the heavens from 20 yards out.
The second half was all set up to be a cracker, with the momentum firmly in the Cherries camp, when all of a sudden the rug was pulled from underneath us.
Just nine minutes in when Carole sent a curler toward the goal. Moss didn`t move.
It turned bad to worse next as Bradbury was sent off for what only could be an elbow, although oddly despite Bradbury being sent off the Cherries were awarded a freekick?!?! Very dubious!
The Cherries pushed for an equaliser, but with ten men were overstretched and Kandol scored again with 5 minutes left, to give Leeds all three points.
A good Cherries performance, which was undone by an needless sending off.

Dazza71 was not suprised at the red card..
Bigboybug was impressed..
Great game and sending off turned the game, gutsy performance against a quality team
Leaprobe was looking for positives…
A better performance play like that for the rest of the season and we will not go down. The sending off was the right, you can’t elbow other players. I think this will be a blessing in disguise maybe Vokes will get a desent run in the team.
Dazza71 was not suprised at the red card..
What do you expect from Steve Bennett! he’s got to be one of the most card happy in the premiership.
