Jermaine Beckford scored his third hat-trick of the season as Leeds romped to victory against a lacklustre Yeovil.

Beckford stuck out a boot to divert a Ben Parker cross in for his first before Neil Kilkenny lobbed Yeovil keeper Josh Wagenaar from 30 yards.

Kilkenny set up Beckford for his second and then Jonny Howson released the striker to complete his hat-trick.

Leeds' Luciano Becchio was brought down for a penalty but the striker fired the resulting spot-kick over the bar.
