Leeds 1-0 Swindon

Jermaine Beckford's 29th goal of the season fired Leeds to a narrow win over Swindon to strengthen their promotion hopes, though he was sent off late on.

The win was Leeds' seventh in a row at home but they were below their best.

Swindon keeper Phil Smith saved well from Robert Snodgrass, while Beckford also saw a header cleared off the line.

Beckford finally made the breakthrough when he headed in at the far post and it was enough for the win, though he was later sent off for two bookings.
