Ian Harte has written on Twitter that referee Craig Pawson got the penalty call spot-on during Leeds United’s win at Derby County today.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side put one foot in the playoff final by beating Derby 1-0 at Pride Park.

Kemar Roofe opened the scoring on 55 minutes but it looked like Frank Lampard’s side would have the chance to equalise when Pawson awarded the Rams a penalty on 78 minutes.

Leeds winger Jack Harrison had tangled with Jayden Bogle but, after consulting one of the linesmen, Pawson reversed the decision and former Whites left-back Harte says that he got it spot-on.

It was the third time that United have beaten the Rams this season and providing they avoid defeat at Elland Road next week, Bielsa’s troops will be marching on together in the final.

It was heartbreaking for them to miss automatic promotion following a dreadful end to the season, but maybe, just maybe, they can make things right.
