Caretaker player-boss Richard Shaw suffered his first defeat at Millwall boss as unbeaten Leeds surged into the play-off places with an emphatic win. David Prutton put Leeds ahead with a 20-yard effort and after the break Jermaine Beckford fired in a second.
Jonathan Douglas was on hand to convert Ian Westlake's corner and added a 20-yard free-kick to make it 4-0.
Will Hoskins fired home and debutant Ahmet Brkovic headed in Jamie O'Hara's cross for late Millwall consolations.
