Cellino saw his side dominate the game yesterday in front of a crowd of over 29,000 fans. While a tight affair was predicted, the Yorkshire giants blew apart Chris Powell’s Huddersfield side.
The deadlock was broken in the first half through a thunderous drive by Rudy Austin, who has been in good form under the caretaker stewardship of Neil Redfearn.
Just before half time, Mirco Antenucci doubled Leeds’s lead after latching on to a rebounded effort from Guiseppe Bellusci.
Souleymane Doukara rounded off the goals with a curled effort into the bottom corner after the break.
