Leeds United had made a strong start to life back in the Championship in 2010/11 following promotion from League One in the summer prior.
The Whites welcomed Gary Speed's Sheffield United to Elland Road for what would turn into a feisty Yorkshire derby that saw two red cards and a late winner.
It was a Bradley Johnson strike which saw the hosts claim the spoils in a 1-0 win to move up to fifth position after just eight games of the campaign.
Robert Snodgrass - who was a substitute - picked up a second yellow after providing the 84th minute winner with a low cross.
Blades substitute Jamie Ward was also given his marching orders just minutes later for a lunge on Neil Kilkenny, which sparked a hot-tempered fracas between the sides.
The game also saw club legend Lucas Radebe - who was promoting his new book - return for a rare fixture in West Yorkshire as Leeds head coach Simon Grayson got the better of fellow former Whites apprentice Speed at a packed out Elland Road.
