Our Phil Hay hands out the scores...
Leeds United ratings
Nothing short of dismal. His mistake let Derby back into the game and it was far from the only one. Not what it said on the tin when he signed. 2/10
Defensively Leeds were in trouble from the start and Ayling was caught out of position when Marriott scored the killer goal. 5/10
Perhaps Derby would have won anyway but his tackle was a rush of blood and it left Leeds outnumbered with 12 minutes to go. 3/10
A mix-up with Casilla, a pull for the penalty and all in all, a very poor night. It was sad to see some big players struggle so badly. 3/10
Can hold his head high. Two goals, the first of which should have been the catalyst for Leeds to tie up a trip to Wembley. It wasnt to be. 7/10
It was clear early on that Derby were going to work him hard and he failed to knock them out of their stride in a crucial stage at the start of the second half. 5/10
