Leeds United defender Joe Rodon was the latest recipient of the Boost Player of the Match award, after an "unreal" performance against Plymouth.

The Whites were looking to extend their unbeaten home run to nine, which stretches back to the season opener against Cardiff.

Leeds dominated in the first half, with Dan James getting the opener in the 21st minute, which was our 6000th league goal.

Seven minutes later, Joel Piroe doubled the lead with a cool finish, after he linked up neatly with Crysencio Summerville.

A tense second half saw Plymouth pull one back through Ben Waine, but Leeds held on to take the three points and reduce the gap to league leaders, Leicester who lost to Middlesbrough.
