Leeds frustrated as Derby snatch late point

LONDON, Saturday - Championship leaders Leeds were forced to settle for a 1-1 against Derby after conceding a last-gasp equaliser at Elland Road on Saturday.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side should have been out of sight after creating chance after chance while bossing possession.

But instead they had only Max Lowe’s 20th-minute own goal to show for their efforts.

Crucially, Mateusz Klich missed a second-half penalty for Leeds and Chris Martin made them pay in stoppage time with Derby’s first meaningful shot. It was another dose of Derby despair for Leeds, who also lost to the Rams -- then managed by current Chelsea boss Frank Lampard -- in the Championship play-off semi-finals last season.

Bielsa bemoaned Leeds’ lack of killer instinct, saying: “This has happened a lot of times to us, but today was the worst. –AFP
