But Bjarni Vidarsson, who will now no doubt become the new 'get the young lad on moyes', netted an equaliser 10 minutes from time.
More noteworthy news from the game was that, for seemingly the first time this season, we started with two recognised full backs on the picth at the same time.
Tony Hibbert and Alessandro Pistone both played the full 90 minutes and must be in the running to make the sqaud for next week's derby.
This is great timing in Hibbert's case as we wil then be able to move Phil Neville back into the middle of midfield where we have missed him badly.
In other news, David Healy's agent has come out and said that he has no idea where the stories linking his man with a move to Everton have come from and the player is committed to helping keep Leeds in the Championship.
And another player who has committed himself to a Championship team in Preston's David Nugent.
But he has come out and said that, if he were to move anywhere, the only place he'd go is Goodison.
Which makes him well worth the £6 million price tag in my opinion!
