Leeds United winger Jack Harrison scored in the first half and his cross led to an own goal in the second as his side moved into the Premier League's top 10 with a 2-1 win over Sheffield United on Saturday.

Leeds took the lead in the 12th minute when Harrison scored with a simple tap-in after fine work by Raphinha.

The visitors levelled before the break as Ben Osborn popped up at the far post to steer home Oliver McBurnie's deflected shot, and though Luke Ayling cleared the ball, goal-line technology ruled that it had crossed the line.

Leeds ended the contest four minutes into the second half when Harrison's low cross was put into his own net by Phil Jagielka.
