A win that closes the gap on leaders Huddersfield Town to just three points.

There was more good news for Leeds as Frazer Richardson and Andrew Hughes both completed 90 minutes on their return from injuries.

Scunthorpe enjoyed prolonged periods of possession and fashioned several good goal-scoring chances but it was the hosts who scored the only goal of the game on 20 minutes.

A deep cross from the left was headed down by striker Tom Elliott on the edge of the penalty area and Falkingham unleashed a low shot on the half-volley that found the bottom corner.

The visitors went on to pose a threat in the second half but Sam Togwell and Liam Trotter missed good chances to equalise.

Reserves boss Neil Thompson was content with his team's performance saying: "It was a good result and a decent performance. The young lads did well and there was a cracking attitude from the senior professionals."
