Leeds United came from behind to register their first Championship win of the season and end Ipswich Town’s perfect start in a seven-goal thriller at Portman Road.

The Tractor Boys took a seventh-minute lead through Joe Rodon’s own goal, but three goals in the space of nine minutes from Leeds turned the game on its head.

Forward Georginio Rutter scored his first goal for the Whites to equalise, and then Wilfried Gnonto, back in the side after apologising for refusing to play, poked home to put the visitors ahead in the 14th minute.

Debutant Joel Piroe soon extended the lead when the Dutch striker was on hand to convert after Ipswich goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky failed to deal with a cross from Luis Sinisterra.

Nathan Broadhead pulled one back to make it 3-2 deep into first-half stoppage time and keep Ipswich in the contest, but Sinisterra seemed to have made the game safe with 15 minutes remaining when the Colombian winger swept home from inside the box.

There was still time for Ipswich to score again in injury time through Conor Chaplin, but Leeds held on to register their first win in 13 league outings.
