GOALS FROM SAM Clucas and Joe Allen helped Stoke upset Championship leaders Leeds today.
Clucas opened the scoring shortly after half-time, before Pontus Jansson’s sending-off on 76 minutes made life more difficult for the visitors.
Allen doubled his side’s advantage two minutes from time, before Ezgjan Alioski grabbed a last-gasp consolation.
It was the end of an eventful week for Leeds in which ‘spygate’ and its fallout dominated headlines.
