Leeds are now unbeaten in six matches in all competitions and earned the right to take on either AFC Wimbledon or non-league Sutton United in the fourth round, with the draw having taken place before kick-off, per the tournament's Twitter feed:
It did not necessarily look from the start as though the Elland Road outfit would progress to the next round.
Cambridge were in the ascendancy from the off, with Luke Berry looking sharp and Ikpeazu forcing an early save out of Leeds stopper Marco Silvestri.
When the forward did find the opener in the 25th minute, it was fully deserved. Ikpeazu pounced on a loose ball after a free-kick and found space with a fine turn before firing in off the post, per BT Sport Football:
Monk had made eight changes for the FA Cup clash, and the XI he started continued to struggle after going a goal behind.
A couple of chances late in the first half came to nothing for the visitors, and Cambridge were worth their lead at the break.
However, signs of encouragement appeared for Leeds at the beginning of the second half as substitute Lewie Coyle looked to make an impact.
Leeds levelled 11 minutes after the break when Mowatt delivered a cross from the left that Dallas headed home from the back post.
Mowatt himself then netted what would turn out to be the winner in the 64th minute to break Cambridge hearts. The 21-year-old midfielder headed on a Pontus Jansson flick from a corner, a well-deserved goal from one of the night's best performers, per BBC 5 Live Sport:
The tiring hosts could find no way back from there, and Leeds dealt with a late onslaught in admirable fashion to book their spot in the next round despite the early scare.
