A quickfire double from Robert Snodgrass gives Leeds a 2-0 victory over Millwall at Elland Road.

Robert Snodgrass struck twice in three minutes as Leeds beat Millwall 2-0 to climb to fourth in the Championship.

Pre-match tributes were made to former Leeds player Gary Speed, who tragically past away last weekend.

Speed's former teammates Gary McAllister, David Batty and Gordan Strachan were present at Elland Road to lay a wreath in his memory prior to kick-off.

On the pitch, it was the home side who dominated the first half but rarely threatened Steve Mildenhall in the Millwall net.

The Yorkshire club's frustrating opening 45 minutes was made worse as Simon Grayson was forced into two changes.

Midfielders Sam Howson and Michael Brown both left the field injured and were replaced by Lloyd Sam and Andrew Keogh.

However Scotland international Snodgrass was on hand in the second period to break the deadlock with a superb 25-yard free kick.

He then doubled his tally and Leeds' advantage minutes later when Sam crossed from the left for Snodgrass to head home.
