Former Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Dunn has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Leeds United’s win against Derby County on Friday evening.

Leeds got the better of Derby 2-0 at Elland Road in the Championship, thanks to goals from Kemar Roofe and Manchester City-owned Jack Harrison.

Liam Cooper featured in the match for the Whites, having recovered from injury, and the performance of the 27-year-old central defender was brilliant.

According to WhoScored, the defender took one shot, had a pass accuracy of 81.5%, won three headers, and made six tackles, four interceptions and five clearances.

Cooper was a rock at the back for Leeds, and his performance underlined just why he is so importance to Marcelo Bielsa’s team.

Dunn was following the match, and the 39-year-old former Blackburn and Birmingham City midfielder believes that Leeds are a different team with Cooper in the side.

The win against Derby means that Leeds are now at the top of the Championship table with 54 points from 27 matches, five points clear of second-placed Norwich City, who have played 26 games.
