Leeds United in Irish fightback
Bray Wanderers 2 v Leeds United 3
Leeds United made it two wins on the bounce on their Republic of Ireland tour with a dramatic second-half comeback after trailing 2-0 at half-time.
Eirecom side Bray Wanderers took the lead in the 9th minute through Daryl Robson and Ger Rowe doubled in the lead in the 32nd minute.
However, Angolan international Rui Marques gave Leeds hope in the 55th minute and thirteen minutes later Canadian trialist Marcus Haber did himself a lot of good with his first goal for United.
With just seven minutes to go home-grown hero Jonny Howson produced a winner in front of a crowd of almost 4,000 fans at the Carlisle Grounds.
After the game Gary McAllister reflected on the see-saw match.
“The first half was disappointing,” he told the official Leeds website.
“I know we’re very rusty, we’re only two games in and have done a lot of physical work, but it wasn’t acceptable.
“They deserved to be in front, their first goal was a great strike, but we had words and got good reaction.
“The second half was like night and day. We moved it better, showed more quality and got three good goals.”
