London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 30th Dec, 2018 ) :Jarrod Bowen struck twice to give Hull a 2-0 victory over the team linked with signing him as Championship leaders Leeds United's seven match winning run was brought to an end on Saturday.
The 22-year-old -- who the Yorkshire club are reportedly willing to offer �6.5million ($8.2million) to replace homesick Spaniard Samuel Saiz -- struck once in each half to give his side their fifth win in six games.
Leeds were unable to repeat their feat of the past two matches in coming from behind to win 3-2 and remain three points clear of Norwich despite the defeat.
The Canaries had looked on course to go level on points with Marcelo Bielsa's side when they took a 3-2 lead over Derby through Finnish international Teemu Pikku's second of the match nine minutes from time -- but then the flood lights failed at Carrow Road.
Their cohesiveness appeared to fade when the game restarted 15 minutes later as goals from Florian Jozefzoon and Jack Marriott secured the points for Frank Lampard's side with a thrilling 4-3 triumph.
Lampard in his first season of managing a club after his stellar playing career pumped the air in celebration as his side halted a run of three games without a win and consolidated sixth place four points clear of Birmingham.
Norwich stayed in second spot two points ahead of third-placed West Bromwich Albion, who showed character to draw 1-1 with Sheffield Wednesday.
West Brom looked to be down and out when Jay Rodriguez was sent off in the 63rd minute but Chris Brunt popped up to prod the ball home in the fifth minute of time added on to share the points.
Aitor Karanka's hold on the Nottingham Forest manager's job looks even less secure after they went down 1-0 to Millwall, who moved three points clear of the bottom three.
Ryan Tunnicliffe's overhead kick settled the game and extended Forest's run without a win to five matches with the daunting task of facing Leeds on Tuesday to come.
