Leeds United were held to a 1-1 draw by Derby County in the Championship on Saturday lunchtime as the Rams struck in added time at Elland Road.
A Max Lowe own goal put Marcelo Bielsa's side ahead in the first half before Mateusz Klich missed a penalty after the break. Chris Martin then bagged in injury-time as United were made to pay for a number of missed chances. Here's how we rated the performance...
6 - Called into action once in the first half, a couple of times in the second. Made a meal of one cross, could do little with the goal.
7 - Superb in the first half, making run after run. Took the shot that led to the goal. Quieter second half, like many of his team-mates.
6 - His energy helped Leeds force errors in the first half. Should have had an assist when he played Bamford in over the top.
7 - Comfortable first half, dominant off the ball. Only moment when his back line looked troubled was in injury time, when Derby scored.
7 - Won his first foot race with Marriott, wasn't otherwise troubled defensively in the first half. Second half stepped in when he had to, won headers. Solid overall.
8 - Delivered some terrific set-pieces, stepped in to make big tackles to stop Derby escaping Leeds' pressure. Rarely beaten, if ever.
