THE GLORY YEARS may be some years behind Leeds United, but after thirty nine minutes in Elland Road last night it must have seemed like they had taken a step closer to the “promised land” of the Premier League.

4-1 up before half time, Leeds were understandably confident of a win at half time in their match against Preston. Leeds fans chanted “Baby Fergie’s getting sacked in the morning” in reference to Preston manager Darren Ferguson.

Those fans were made to eat their words though, as Preston pulled off an incredible comeback to win 6-4.

“I have never been involved in such an amazing game” said Darren Ferguson, “But all credit to my players for their sensational comeback. It’s brilliant to get six goals, it would have been nice if we hadn’t conceded four.”

Jon Parkin netted a hat-trick for Preston, including the opener but Leeds hit back with goals from two from Davide Somma, Luciano Becchio and Alex Bruce.

Keith Treacy, Iain Hume and Callum Davidson all scored, along with Jon Parkin’s other two goals, to cap a famous comeback for Preston.
