By Peter Mwaura 

Derby County booked their spot in the championship play-off final courtesy of a 4-2 second leg semifinal win against Leeds United at the Elland Road stadium.

Stuart Dallas gifted Leeds United a brace in the 24th and 62nd minute but substitute Jack Marriott brace and goals from Mason Mount and Harry Wilson ensured coach Frank Lampard’s side sailed through to the finals with a 4-3 aggregate win.

Derby recorded history, becoming the first team to lose in the first leg of a championship playoff at home and reach the final.

The Rams will take on Aston Villa in the final set for Wembley Stadium on May 27th.
