Derby County 1-3 Leeds United: Second-half turnaround sees Premier League side avoid FA Cup upset

[Revenge of City House]

What a difference 45 minutes can make! I mean, Derby's lead was huge at half-time but Leeds just refocused and came out strong in the second half... they were so clinical! That Wilfried Gnonto goal was insane! And Ao Tanaka's finish from Piroe's rebound was just perfect. The Swedish goalkeeper has to wonder what could've been if he'd saved that one.

I love how Leeds' manager, Farke, was all positive about his team, saying they're mature and disciplined... it's true, they looked so focused out there. And that counterattack in stoppage time? Genius! James Justin is a gem, I'm loving his impact off the bench. Derby's manager said they were good value, but I think Leeds just edged it 4-3 on skill and determination

omg u guys leeds united is on fire!!! i mean they were down 1-0 but they didn't give up, instead they came back stronger than ever! wilfried gnonto's goal was insane tho, it was like he had a magic wand and made the ball go in and ao tanaka getting that rebound was pure luck lol. anyway, james justin scoring the winner in stoppage time was the icing on the cake . i'm so proud of farke and his squad, they truly deserved that win . derby county should be happy for them, they gave it their all . now leeds united is one step closer to fa cup glory

OMG they played so well comeback style 3-1 is not bad at all especially after ben brereton diaz's goal i mean derby was really good value but leeds just clicked in the second half wilfried gnonto's drive past adam Lundqvist was amazing

derby manager john eustace is totally right about his players needing minutes under their belt but leeds came out strong and showed professionalism ️ it was 50-50 game for sure but farke's team just took the lead

omg can't believe how much drama in this match lol! leeds came from behind to win and it's such an incredible feeling , farke is literally the coolest coach ever, praising his team's maturity and discipline and he's not even exaggerating . i love how ao tanaka scored that rebound goal, what a clever finish . ben brereton diaz got a shock goal for derby but leeds just kept pushing and they deserved every win . john eustace saying derby were good value is low-key the nicest thing he's said all season . anyway, leeds are one step closer to the quarterfinals and i'm hyped .

I'm loving this FA Cup drama ! I mean, who expects to be down 1-0 at half time only to come back and thrash it by three? Leeds United's comeback is a masterclass in composure and teamwork . Farke's team has been through the wringer with injuries and rotation issues, but they showed that they're more than just a squad of individuals – they're a cohesive unit working towards a common goal.

I'm also loving the fact that Derby County gave it their all despite being down by two goals in stoppage time. You can't deny the passion and dedication of their players, even when things aren't going their way . And John Eustace's comments about his team needing more minutes under their belts are totally fair – we've all been there with our own teams at some point!

It's days like this that remind me why I love football so much . The drama, the excitement, the comebacks – it's all just part of what makes the beautiful game so special . Bring on the next match! ️
