Derby became the first team to turn around a first-leg home defeat in the playoffs.
LEEDS: Derby County moved a step closer to the Premier League after reaching the Championship playoff final with a 4-2 win over Leeds United on Wednesday, as they roared back from a two-goal aggregate deficit to win 4-3 over two legs.
Leeds took the lead in the 24th minute when Kalvin Phillips launched a free kick into the box which bounced through the area and out of the post with Stuart Dallas reacting well to slot the ball home from close range. Derby were attacking with pace and invention and scrapping for every ball in midfield but Leeds, managed by Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, were able to get back on level terms on aggregate with a fine effort from Dallas.Leeds went down to 10 men though in the 78th minute after Gaetano Berardi was dismissed after a second yellow card for a late lunge on Bradley Johnson.
