Gillespie notched his fifth goal of the season to secure the points

Gillespie's 25-yard lob into an empty net was enough to lift Keith Downing's men off the foot of the table.

Leeds dominated for large periods but have now won only two of their last seven games in all competitions.

Jermaine Beckford thought he had given Dennis Wise's side the lead in the 75th minute only for his effort to be disallowed for offside.
