Histon humble Leeds

30 January 2008
The towering centre-back, a postman by trade, headed in six minutes before the break and, despite constant Leeds pressure in the second half, the Blue Square Premier high-fliers held-on.
Histon's efforts earned them a third-round home clash with Championship side Swansea.
In dreadful conditions the Stutes soon threatened and striker Jack Midson fired Jamie Barker`s cross wide in the fourth minute.
But it was Leeds who had the best chance of the opening exchanges when Luciano Becchio smashed Robert Snodgrass` cross wastefully over.
Histon striker Daniel Wright then went close at the other end but the hosts had the lead soon after.
Gareth Gwillim delivered a superb corner into the box and Langston thundered a header past David Lucas from eight yards for his first goal of the season.
Midson almost added a second in the 54th minute when he cut in from the left but his goalbound shot was deflected over by Alan Sheehan.
Gwillim then denied Leeds substitute Enoch Showunmi before defender Lubomir Michalik rattled a Histon post after a goalmouth scramble.
Ten minutes later Becchio flashed another great chance wide before Antonio Murray somehow cleared another Michalik shot off the line as Leeds laid siege to the goal but could not find an equaliser.
