Leeds United fans unanimous in who is to blame for their defeat to Derby County

Leeds United's hopes of playing Premier League football next season are over after suffering play-off heartbreak against Derby County.

Despite at one point holding a 2-0 aggregate lead against the Rams, the Whites suffered a total collapse against Frank Lampard's side and as result will face another season in the Championship.

Stuart Dallas had fired Marcelo Bielsa's side ahead at Elland Road, but a rush of blood from goalkeeper Kiko Casilla handed Lampard's side a route back into the game just before the interval.

Two quick-fire second-half goals from Mason Mount and Harry Wilson then turned the game on its head, before Dallas brought his side level on aggregate with a fine finish.

But the drama was far from over there, as Gaetano Berardi's rash lunge on Bradley Johnson earned him a second yellow card, before Marriott netted the all important winner with five minutes remaining.

And Whites fans were unanimous in their verdict of who was to blame for their side's defeat.
