Joe Rodon's first goal for the Whites came after hard training ground work
It's been a long time coming, but Joe Rodon's first goal in Leeds United colours owed much to the hard work put in at their Thorp Arch training round.
It was Rodon's first goal for Leeds in his 70th appearance for the club, and while the former Spurs man admitted he was due a goal, he revealed they had been practicising their set-pieces in training all week. Rodon could have opened the scoring earlier but headed wide from a flag-kick, so he was delighted to make amends.
“We were frustrated last weekend but to be back in front of our home fans with a win and a clean sheet is all we can ask for. To be fair I think the first chance was a bit easier but we have been working on set-pieces all week. Leeds saw Junior Firpo limp out of the game before half-time, with Wober set to continue to deputise at left-back against Middlesbrough on Tuesday night, with Sam Byram also a doubt. However, Ethan Ampadu made his return to the bench against Derby, to offer Daniel Farke more options in midfield and at the hear of his defence.
