Bagayoko netted his second goal of the afternoon nine minutes into the second half with a tap-in after El Hadj-Diouf had headed Tommy Spurr’s superb cross back across the face of goal.
Leeds’ reply was instant, a sweeping move involving Ross McCormack and Luciano Becchio ending with Danny Pugh rolling the ball back to Andros Townsend, who fired into the net.
