A 13th minute goal from Kemar Roofe has given Leeds United a 1-0 lead at the half-time break against Preston North End.

It was the hosts who started the better of the two teams as Tom Barkhuizen saw an effort sail just over the bar in the opening exchanges. Alex Neil's men continued to push forward but it was the Whites who opened the scoring through Kemar Roofe as he returned to the starting line-up for the first time following a calf injury.

A Pablo Hernandez corner fell to fellow midfielder Kalvin Phillips who worked himself wide to drill a thunderous cross into the area which found the striker all alone at the back post to tap home from close-range.
