Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United won against Derby County at the weekend.
Leeds got the better of Derby 1-0 away from home at the Pride Park Stadium in the first leg of their Championship playoff semi-final tie on Saturday evening.
Kemar Roofe scored the only goal of the match in the 55th minute to put the Whites in a strong position in the tie.
Former Leeds striker Whelan was following the match on Saturday evening, and after the full-time whistle, he had a chat with Kinnear about the final result.
Whelan said on BBC Radio Leeds: “He looked very, very happy. He thought it was a fantastic performance, really pleased by the way the boys went out there and delivered the goods away from home against a good Derby game and with so many players out.”
Winning the second leg
Leeds are strong at home, and Marcelo Bielsa’s side will be confident of winning against Derby in the second leg at Elland Road on Wednesday evening.
An early goal from the Rams could make it tricky for the Whites, but the West Yorkshire outfit do have what it takes to score two or three goals in front of their own fans.
