Derby boss revels in beating Leeds.
Frank Lampard’s Derby County lost three matches by a combined 7-1 scoreline to Leeds this season.
That counted for nothing last night as the Rams beat Leeds 4-2 at Elland Road to book a place in the play-off final.
Lampard has been a figure of fun for Leeds fans since January since he reacted furiously to Marcelo Bielsa spying on his side.
Leeds fans sung a ‘stop crying Frank Lampard’ taunt during and after the Whites’ 1-0 victory.
The last laugh was on Leeds and Lampard was quizzed about in a post game interview live on Sky Sports.
He emphatically responded: “A lot of people say we’re crying about spygate. I’ve not thought about spygate for a long time.
“We’ve prepared and we’ve got a result. Thank you.”
And with that he walked off, clearly satisfied with his evening’s work and so he should be.
Derby were clear underdogs and were 2-0 down on aggregate with 46 minutes remaining.
Then Leeds imploded, but Derby deserve credit, and now are just 90 minutes away from the Premier League.
