Leeds fought back from 2-0 down to secure all three points in a pulsating 3-2 win over Doncaster on Saturday afternoon.
It was the home side who started the match the stronger, but Doncaster so nearly took the lead after ten minutes when Habib Bamogo struck a stinging drive from distance, but it smashed into the post.
Leeds took control of the match as the half progressed, however, and Luciano Becchio tested David Button after 12 minutes before Robert Snodgrass twice went close moments later.
The home side again went close after 24 minutes when Aidan White struck from distance, but Sam Hird produced a smart block to thwart the goal-bound effort.
Doncaster enjoyed a spell of possession in the latter stages of the half and it brought the opening goal of the afternoon after 31 minutes. Andy Lonergan could only palm a James Hayter effort to the feet of Mamadou Bagayoko, who made no mistake from the edge of the area.
There was to be no quick response from the home side, but Andros Townsend might have done better when presented with the opportunity after 42 minutes.
The away side edged into a 2-0 lead after 54 minutes when Bagayoko grabbed his second with a well placed header, but their two-goal cushion lasted just a minute when Townsend pounced on a loose Lonergan save to fire the ball home.
Leeds dominated as they pushed for the equaliser in the latter stages of the half with Becchio and Townsend both going close, but Button was in fine form on more than one occasion.
They found their equaliser after 80 minutes, when Adam Clayton fired home after good work from Snodgrass.
The comeback was complete deep into stoppage time when Becchio pounced on a loose ball to fire the ball home from outside the area.
Leeds will look to continue their winning run when they travel to Portsmouth next Saturday, while Doncaster host Peterborough.
