Sam Winnall scored two second-half goals to give in-form Derby a comeback win at Leeds.

Pierre-Michel Lasogga had put the home side ahead early on with a low shot just inside the near post after being put through by Samuel Saiz.

After the break, Winnall connected with Craig Forsyth's cross to score his second goal in two games to level.

Winnall sent Andy Lonergan the wrong way from the penalty spot to win it, after Hadi Sacko fouled Tom Lawrence.

Leeds went into the game in poor form, having lost four of their previous five games, in contrast to Derby's run of three successive league wins prior to arriving at Elland Road.

But the hosts were rewarded for a bright start when Lasogga's early strike found the bottom corner after he was found by Saiz's through ball.

It looked like Derby's gamble to leave their top scorer Matej Vydra on the bench had backfired as they failed to register a first-half shot on target, but Winnall stepped up in the second half to turn the match on its head.

Derby's fourth straight win lifted them to fifth in the table, two points above Leeds, who dropped to sixth.

Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen:

"There was a clear penalty in the 44th minute against [Ezgjan] Alioski. And the non-penalty that was given in the second half - against that, I feel impotent.

"It is difficult for me to control the situation when it is not in my hands. We didn't deserve it.

"The defeat is very bad, another defeat, and we have to change. We need the win on Saturday against Brentford. It cannot go on like that."

Derby boss Gary Rowett:

"I have watched it [Derby's penalty] around five times and I still cannot work it out. It's not obviously inside and it's not obviously outside either, and it is very close.

"I can understand why Leeds a little bit disappointed by that.

"He [Winnall] has reacted brilliantly. He got his deserved start and scored two excellent goals. He has got that real killer instinct in the box. There was nobody other than him taking the penalty."
