FA Cup: Derby County 1 (Diaz 35) Leeds 3 (Gnonto 55, Tanaka 59, Justin 90+3)Willy Gnonto and Ao Tanaka scored quickfire second-half goals to help Leeds hit back for a comfortable 3-1 win at Derby in the third round of the FA Cup. Joel Piroe’s first-half penalty was saved shortly before Derby took the lead against the run of play and the threat of an upset was short-lived as Leeds dominated the second half. It was a stunning turnaround for the Rams, who made six changes themselves after last week’s home defeat to Wrexham, having barely threatened before Brereton Diaz pounced. Derby: Zetterstrom, Ward, Langas, Batth, Forsyth, Brereton Diaz, Travis, Fraulo, Blackett-Taylor, Clark, Salvesen. Leeds: Darlow, Bornauw, Ampadu, Bijol, Gnonto, Gruev, Tanaka, Harrison, Piroe, Okafor, Nmecha.
