Former Leeds players Danny Graham and Michael Bridges scored as Carlisle secured a deserved win at Elland Road.

Graham, who was on loan at Leeds in 2006, swept in Cleveland Taylor's cross from close range to put Carlisle ahead.

Then, a mix-up between Leeds keeper Casper Ankergren and defender Lubo Michalik allowed Graham to play Bridges through to score from a narrow angle.

Fabian Delph had a penalty shout waved away while Luciano Becchio hit a post after the break as Leeds toiled.
