United's exploits in the stunning comeback at Southampton have been further recognised this week with the League Managers Association awarding them the Performance Of The Week Award.
The LMA five-man Performance of the Week panel, comprising Chairman Howard Wilkinson, Sir Alex Ferguson, Joe Royle, Dave Bassett and Barry Fry, were in complete agreement that this week, that the F&C Performance of the Week Award was well deserved by Leeds after coming back from three goals down at half-time to win 4-3.
United manager Kevin Blackwell will receive the specially engraved crystal football in a presentation to be screened on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday this weekend.
Southampton appeared to be in full control after Marian Pahars' close-range header and Nigel Quashie's brace, including one penalty, which put them 3-0 up at half-time.
The introduction of substitute David Healy in the 67th minute, however, sparked an incredible turnaround.
First Paul Butler headed in then Robbie Blake tapped home before Healy's chip was handled and he popped in a penalty. Leeds wrapped up the match when Liam Miller side-footed in the winner with four minutes remaining.
Kevin Blackwell: "All the plaudits go to the players. That's something you see only rarely in football, and we're on the right end of it.
"At half-time I told them firstly to go out and regain some pride, and then see if you can get a goal, to see how that affects Southampton.”
