Key Events

  • 7pm kick-off at York City’s LNER Community Stadium
  • Second-bottom v third-bottom
  • Rams only ahead of Whites on goal difference
  • Derby have two games in hand

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

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

55: Free kick from the left, free header for Robinson but it is deflected just wide and Leeds survive the corner

57: Dean feeds Miller down the right but low shot saved by Foulkes

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

64: Solomon on for Buchanan

65: Fine effort from Allen, 25 yards out, similar to Miller’s goal, tipped over, fine save

68: For Miller and Grewal-Pollard for some pushing and shoving

72: Leeds looked certain to double their lead after Sutcliffe played in Allen but his rising effort smashes against the crossbar and McGurk sends the rebound over

74: Ebiowei on for Clarke
