Howard late show sinks Whites
A late penalty from Steve Howard helped Leicester come from behind to beat Leeds 2-1 at Elland Road and book a place in the Carling Cup third round.
Max Gradel laid on the opening goal just after the half hour when his superb first-time cross from the right was expertly glanced home by Davide Somma.
Leicester had to scramble the ball away from danger right at the start of the second half after Gradel stole into the box from the right and Whites keeper Shane Higgs then spilled a low, swerving shot from Paul Gallagher at the other end but gathered at the second attempt.
The visitors levelled when some poor control from Bradley Johnson handed them possession on the edge of the box and two slick passes presented an opportunity to Richie Wellens, who made no mistake with a low finish.
It took a stunning point-blank save from Higgs to keep Leeds on level terms five minutes later when he somehow blocked Howard's close-range effort from Gallagher's low cross from the right.
The decisive moment came when a seemingly innocuous set-piece floated forward, bounced up and struck Leeds defender Neill Collins on the arm, and Howard made no mistake from the spot.
