CHANCE LEEDS
48: Unlucky by Dean, running at goal and looks to bend one into the bottom right corner from the edge of the box, tipped behind for a corner which Derby survive
WOW, Derby miss a sitter
51: Cross from the right takes out the Whites defence and Watson is free in the middle of the area with only to Klaesson to beat but wallops a wild shot over, might have clipped the bar but had to score. Derby’s Robinson booked before that for fouling Miller
HUGE CHANCE DERBY
55: Free kick from the left, free header for Robinson but it is deflected just wide and Leeds survive the corner
Leeds living so dangerously
60: Great chance for Hutchinson who is picked out by Aghatise’s cross from the left but a poor first touch lets him down and ball trickles behind for a goal kick. Derby come again and force a corner
CHANCE LEEDS - CLOSE
65: Fine effort from Allen, 25 yards out, similar to Miller’s goal, tipped over, fine save
