Derby 0-1 Leeds: Kemar Roofe scores his fourth goal of the season against Rams to earn visitors narrow play-off victory
Kemar Roofe’s second-half strike sealed an impressive 1-0 win for visitors Leeds in the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final on Saturday.Roofe collected a fine cross from winger Jack Harrison and tucked the ball expertly past Derby goalkeeper Kelle Roos after 54 minutes.It was Roofe’s 15th goal of the season – and the fourth time he has netted against Derby this term – and puts Marcelo Bielsa’s side in pole position to book a Wembley date with the winner of Aston Villa vs West Brom.Derby appeared to be thrown a lifeline when they were awarded a penalty with 13 minutes remaining after Harrison appeared to foul Jayden Bogle.However, referee Craig Pawson controversially overturned his decision and awarded a free-kick to the visitors after consulting assistant refereeEddie Smart.The hosts were incensed by the decision and also felt Leeds should have been reduced to ten men when Mateusz Klich appeared to headbutt Fikayo Tomori in the chest.Harry Wilson of Derby County confronts referee Craig Pawson following the controversial decision2
