Unofficial Champions of England: Leeds United 2-1 Blackburn Rovers, 29/11/1995


Brian Deane opens the scoring

Blackburn Rovers, Premier League and Unofficial Champions, rocked up at Elland Road for a League Cup tie on the back of a successful title defence against Arsenal.

Leeds took the lead on 21 minutes, Brian Deane capitalising on uncertainty in the Blackburn defence to put the ball beyond the reach of Rovers keeper Tim Flowers.
Tony Yeboah, who didn't score ordinary goals, hit a 25 yarder to double Leeds advantage.

Blackburn did get one back but cheekily, got Leeds to score it for them. The unfortunate Gary Kelly stooping low to head into his own goal.

Leeds were back on top as Unofficial Champions for a second time.
