Leeds slump to horror defeat in Garry Monk's first match of season

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's home side benefited from a dreadful piece of goalkeeping by England's Rob Green - making his debut for the visitors - as he fumbled a high ball under pressure in his area enabling Nedum Onuoha to nudge the ball over the line.

Tjaronn Chery made it two from the penalty spot on 73 minutes after Ronaldo Vieira had fouled Jordan Cousins.

Sebastian Polter completed a perfect day for Rangers accepted a Onuoha pass before slamming the ball high into the net.

“It is obviously disappointing..not the start we wanted,” said Monk.

“We made a lot of mistakes individually and lacked that bit of intensity. You can’t give 45 minutes to the opposition like that. “But this is just one game and I am confident we have the quality and the character in the group.

It’s a process and I said when I walked in that it’s not going to happen overnight.

“There will be results that disappoint and also happy results. We want to make sure we get more happy results."
