2-1

Leeds United 2-1 Everton

Leeds United produce the shock of the Capital One Cup third round with a 2-1 victory over Everton at Elland Road.

Leeds United caused a Capital One Cup upset with a 2-1 victory over Premier League high-flyers Everton at Elland Road tonight.

Aidy White's superb individual effort set the Whites on their way after just four minutes.

The Irish defender weaved past Maraoune Fellaini and Sylvain Distin before curling a shot past Jan Mucha for his first Leeds goal.

White went close again before half-time, finding space on the edge of the box after nice interplay between Luciano Becchio and El Hadji Diouf, but this time Mucha was equal to his low shot.

Everton began to apply some pressure after the break as both Steven Pienaar and Victor Anichebe sent shots just wide of the target.

Summer signing Steven Naismith was guilty of missing their best opportunity to level as he headed into the side netting, unmarked at the back post.

The Toffees were to rue their wasted chances as Rodolph Austin scored at the other end, diverting Danny Pugh's powerful low strike into the net.

Distin set up a nervy last ten minutes for the Championship outfit by looping a header over replacement keeper Jamie Ashdown.

Anichebe felt he should have had a late penalty after a tangle with Alex Pearce, but Leeds survived to claim an impressive scalp.
