No is the simple answer - within ten minutes, Beckford picked up the ball half way inside the Chester half and within a couple of strides, unleashed a curling shot that bent past the keepers right hand upright.

Four minutes later, Robinson added a fourth with a neat side foot, but the final word was left to Beckford just four minutes later - a powerful lob from 20 yards, and leaving Leeds   5-1 up on 34 minutes, and Beckford with his hat-trick.

Leeds continued to dominate, with match possession as high as 70% with away fans chanting for 6 until the half-time.

Second half and Leeds took the foot of the pedal.  McAllister introduced three changes, bringing off Beckford, Howson and Robinson for Showumni, Douglas and Johnson - and whilst Chester hardly threatened, it was left to a few runs from Showumni to excite the crowd as the game ebbed out. 

Chester took some consolation when they were awarded a penalty on 75 minutes, Richardson judged to have pushed Mozika inside the box in a decision that inspires the quote "I've seen them given and not given before".  Lowe stepped up and slotted home his second but it was no real threat to Leeds.

Showumni continued to find space, and his shooting became a little more accurate but the job here was done in the first half and Leeds looked to be conserving energy.
