Leeds 1-2 Colchester

Leeds suffered a third successive League defeat despite taking the lead in the first half through Robert Snodgrass's fourth goal of the season.

Colchester equalised on the stroke of half-time when Dean Hammond headed home Mark Yeates's corner.

The game turned in the second half as David Prutton earned a second booking for his foul on Yeates, who hit the winner from the resulting free-kick.

Last season's play-off finalists have now lost four games in a row.
