Kewell killjoy at Rio146;s return

Leeds8217; victory was their first in 10 meetings with Manchester United, their fiercest rivals who now have only eight points to show from their first six games. Leeds manager Terry Venables was delighted at how his team, who won 2-0 at Newcastle on Wednesday, recovered after a poor first half.
