Leeds promotion hopes are fading fast as lowly Cheltenham dealt their promotion hopes a blow at Elland Road.
David Bird pounced to give the Robins a 38th-minute lead, punishing slack defending by Frazer Richardson who lost possession on the fringe of the penalty box.
Leeds strikers Jermaine Beckford and Tresor Kandol and defender Lubo Michalik all squandered excellent opportunities to level.
Richard Keogh, who completed the formalities of his loan from Bristol City in time to make his debut, picked up a first half booking but was rock-solid at the heart of Cheltenham's defence.
Alex Russell's surprise shot from 25 yards flew over United goalkeeper Casper Ankergren's shoulder for the second on 64 minutes.
Steve Brooker should have hit Cheltenham's third, but Anthony Elding headed in Neil Kilkenny's 85th-minute cross for a late consolation.
