Leeds United lost against Derby County in the Championship at the weekend.
Leeds United goalkeeper Robert Green has revealed to The Derby Telegraph what his Derby County counterpart Scott Carson told him after the game between the two sides at the weekend.
The West Yorkshire outfit faced Derby away from home at the iPro Stadium in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
The Rams won the match 1-0, thanks to Johnny Russell’s goal in the 56th minute.
Carson featured in goal for Derby, while Green was between the posts for Leeds.
Green has revealed what the Derby goalkeeper told him after the match on Saturday afternoon.
“In the first half, we didn’t start in the way we have done in the past month,” Green told The Derby Telegraph. “Then, after conceding, we went at it and showed what a good side we are.
“We dominated the game from there but the problem with that is, at 1-0 down, shots hit people on the bum, shots hit the post – things go against you.
“(Derby keeper) Scott Carson said to me: ‘That’s the first bit of luck we’ve had all season’. It wasn’t to be, and the feeling at the end was one of frustration.”
Over the course of the 90 minutes at the iPro Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hosts Derby had 47% of the possession, took nine shots of which three were on target, and earned six corners, according to BBC Sport.
Visitors Leeds had 53% of the possession, took 13 shots of which just two were on target, and earned five corners, according to BBC Sport.
Garry Monk’s side are 13th in the Championship table at the moment, while Derby are currently 19th in the standings.
