00:00Here from Ellen Road where Leeds United have returned back to the top of the championship
00:06with it's got to be said a very very easy 2-0 victory against a disappointing Derby County
00:11team who took until the 80th minute to have their first shot on target. Ironic cheers inside the
00:17ground when they finally mustered up that and they had another one shortly afterwards although
00:21not even sure that was classed as a shot in the end ahead of the LMLEAE they gathered but just
00:25complete one-way traffic here in the end as Leeds United recorded a 2-0 victory which I say has put
00:31them back onto top spot and it's now over to Sheffield United on Sunday with their fixture
00:37away at West Brom obviously see how that one goes but whatever happens with that one
00:42this is going to put Leeds in the well does put Leeds in the automatic promotion spots and we'll
00:46leave them there after this weekend's games courtesy of Burnley's 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough on
00:52Friday night and they look like two good teams going toe-to-toe and Leeds really here look like
00:58a team you know basically it looked like two teams in two different divisions to be quite honest and
01:03Derby were very disappointing off with very very little and really it was just a case of getting
01:07through that frustrating sort of first half an hour stroke 40 minutes when Leeds dominated
01:12possession as you kind of expected they would but weren't able to break through Joe Roden probably
01:17missed the best chance sending a header over the bar he did well to get a free header a good
01:22movement but you know point back when you send it over and just listen to his post-match interview
01:26he said basically he felt like he had a bit too much time to think about it because he then scored
01:30with what was probably a harder chance his first goal for the club it's been strange actually to
01:35think that's his first goal for Leeds because he gets forward he's obviously going to be a massive
01:40threat at corners with his with you know how tall he is and his physique and everything but finally
01:44that was his first goal headed for a Rothwell corner keeper got in touch to it but just couldn't
01:47keep it out that was one nil that was the breakthrough straight away Leeds went for the
01:52juggler went for a second and of all people Max Verber getting the second goal with again with
01:56his first goal for the club so a defender double and two people with their first goals for Leeds
02:02United to get the goals to then put this team away that was two nil Verber only on the pitch
02:08because of junior Ferpo went off injured so that's obviously one blow here and we'll wait and see
02:13what the situation is for Ferpo he was an injury doubt before the game after a knock to the foot
02:17in training so I think a few people thought he might be out but you know it soon became apparent
02:21he was here and he started but didn't last very long I think it was like midway through the first
02:27half where we noticed he was like pointing like holding the back of his leg went down needing
02:32treatment he actually pointed to the bench himself and it was pretty clear then that he was coming
02:35off and Verber went on and that's what happened and I've got to say Max Verber did very very well
02:39at left back he's obviously well firstly obviously there was a situation about him leaving the club
02:43etc one of the lone escapees but it's been the same with Aronson he's back here now he's a Leeds
02:47player so you've got to sort of get behind him and he is a centre-back obviously by trade but he has
02:52played left back as well and to my eye there's no doubt that you know he could and should be able to
02:57hold down the left back spot here
