Leeds 1-2 Derby

The Rams continued their impressive run of results against Leeds by notching up a 9th consecutive win against them. The game also accounted for Leeds manager, Neil Warnock resigning.

The first half was fairly even, though the home side had the best chance when former Ram Paul Green hit the bar.

Luke Varney also had an opportunity when through, but he hit his shot wide.

The game really got going in the 67th minute when Ross McCormack struck a beautiful shot from the edge of the box to give Fielding no chance.

The scores were level five minutes later. Martin was brought down in the box by Pearce and a spot kick was ordered by the referee.

Sammon made a hash of the spot kick, but fortunately it rebounded off the post and Paul Coutts was there to make sure that a second chance wasn't squandered when he redirected it into the Leeds net.

The three points were secured when Davies's corner was met by Jake Buxton who headed in.

The win sees the Rams now up to eighth place. Still mathematically in the hunt for a play off spot, but also, strangely, still not out of the woods from a relegation battle. Now that is what you call a tight division.
