Teenager Fabian Delph scored two superb goals as Leeds brushed aside Walsall to secure a seventh successive home win.

Home keeper Casper Ankergren made a fine early save to deny Jabo Ibehre but Leeds dominated from then on.

Jermaine Beckford, Neil Kilkenny and Delph all wasted good chances before Luciano Becchio forced home the opener from close range

Delph smashed home the second from 25 yards and he made it 3-0 with another stunning long-range effort late on.
