Leeds 1, Leicester 2

Leeds boss Neil Warnock was keen to draw a line under the season as his side’s campaign ended dismally at Elland Road.

Teenage debutant Harry Panayiotou earned Leicester a 2-1 win with the last kick of the game after Danny Webber had wiped out Martyn Waghorn’s opener.

It condemned Leeds to a club record 11th home defeat of the season and capped off a year that has seen them change manager and fail to build on last season’s seventh-placed finish.

Warnock is aware of where they have gone wrong, though, and is determined to put it right over the summer.

“I think the record is justified, it shows how low we’ve come,” said the veteran coach, who replaced Simon Grayson in February.

“Instead of being a fortress, it’s been a weakness. It won’t happen again. This is the lowest ebb for Leeds to lose that many games.

“We couldn’t have tried anymore but that’s how it goes.”

Warnock is to announce his retained list on Wednes-day, with the number of departures expected to dwarf those staying.

Names such as Ports-mouth’s Jason Pearce and the controversial El-Hadji Diouf are waiting in the wings to arrive in West Yorkshire.

“We’re having a drastic change to the squad. We need to get ready and get amongst them,” he added of his work ahead.

The defeat left Leeds with just a 14th place finish.

Leicester took a 39th-minute lead after a catalogue of Leeds errors. Michael Brown kicked off the farcical chain of events, spooning a regulation clearance high and back towards his own goal. Even then, Danny Pugh should have swept things up but, as the left back missed the ball and fell over, Waghorn pounced and ran on to slot home.

Leeds levelled unexpectedly with eight minutes left. Robert Snodgrass was the architect, running at the heart of Leicester’s defence and standing a ball up for Mikael Forsell.

When possession fell back to him he clipped an effort beyond Kasper Schmeichel and, even though the ball was headed for the goal, Webber made sure from a yard.

There was still time for more drama, though, with Panayiotou making for a controversial finish when he touched in Ben Marshall’s edge-of-the-box effort, leaving Warnock and his players to confront the linesman about an alleged offside.

Warnock’s fury may have been more about a season of underachievement than the goal itself, but the boss may hear more about the incident after he appeared to throw his chewing gum at the official at the full-time whistle.
