Healy's disputed penalty takes the heat off Blackwell - Stuart James

Copy from Football Unlimited of 28/08/2006.

Kevin Blackwell can breathe again. His hold on the manager's position at Elland Road had appeared to be loosening after an underwhelming start to the season but three points in yesterday's Yorkshire derby, secured through David Healy's controversial second-half penalty, will buy short-term security at least. It was a far from convincing display, with Leeds failing to register a shot on goal in a lacklustre first half, although aesthetics do not matter at this time. Blackwell needs results and this was one he will welcome.

There was no doubt that Jones caught the Leeds striker, although television replays showed that the contact was outside the area.
