Tranmere came from behind to hand Leeds a fifth away defeat of the season.

Fraser Richardson flicked on a Robert Snodgrass cross for Enoch Showunmi to beat Danny Coyne from eight yards and give the visitors an early lead.

But when United keeper David Lucas missed his punch from an Andy Taylor free-kick, Antony Kay was on hand to head Rovers level from 12 yards.

And Ian Moore's speculative 20-yard shot wrapped up the win although Leeds had a Luciano Becchio header ruled out.
