For the season 1995-96 and it was a big improvement in the Cups for Wilkinson's United. In the UEFA Cup and it was a spectacular Tony Yeboah hat-trick at the Stade Louis II stadium against AS Monaco that put Leeds through to the second round of the competition. United lost the home leg 1-0 but went through 3-1 on aggregate. In the second round and Leeds were knocked out easily over two legs by PSV Eindhoven. In the FA Cup and Leeds made it to the Quarter Final where they met Liverpool at Elland Road, a 0-0 draw at home set up a replay at Anfield where United were eventually beaten 3-0. Just four days after the FA Cup exit United met Aston Villa at Wembley for the Final of the Football League Cup. It was only the second time in the clubs history that the team had reached the Final of the competition, the first time saw United victor's after a Terry Cooper goal sealed a 1-0 win over Arsenal. Second time around though for Leeds it wasn't to be as Wilkinson's men just didn't turn up and United were beaten 3-0. A bad time of it in the League Campaign for United saw the team finish in 13th position. Leeds only won 12 games all season and managed only 43 points, scoring 40 goals.
