Roofe gives Leeds play-off advantage at Pride Park

Kemar Roofe hit a second-half winner to give Leeds a slender 1-0 advantage over Derby following the first leg of their Sky Bet Championship play-off semi-final. Roofe coolly slotted home after 55 minutes for his fourth goal against the Rams this season as the Yorkshiremen's dominance paid off.

But United, who are looking to return to the Premier League for the first time in 15 years, will feel they should be taking a bigger advantage back to Elland Road. Roofe was denied a second goal by a brilliant Kelle Roos save moments after his opener, while Stuart Dallas and Jamie Shackleton both went close in the second half.
