Frank frustrated as Leeds lift the Roofe

KEMAR ROOFE struck twice as Leeds wrecked Frank Lampard’s first home league game as Derby manager.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side dealt out a brutal lesson to management rookie Lampard.

Leeds have spent 14 years outside of the top flight but pulses will be racing after the dazzling start to the campaign – they also beat Stoke last weekend.

Lampard said before this clash that his players should relish a contest between “two of the great names in English football” – and they did initially.

Mason Mount shot wide from close range and Derby were soon ruing that miss.

Leeds punished them when they broke forward with a swift counter-attack involving some nice passing.

The move ended in Pablo Hernandez teeing up Mateusz Klich, who took a cushioning touch then curled in from 20 yards.

Lampard was soon out of his dug-out, clapping and cajoling his players as they looked for a response.

And his players delivered a reaction as Tom Lawrence was fouled by Liam Cooper and smashed in the resulting free-kick in the 12th minute.

But that was as good as it got for Derby as Leeds went back in front within 10 minutes.

Ezgjan Alioski delivered a teasing cross and Roofe leaped impressively and headed in from 10 yards to send the travelling fans wild again.

Lampard responded at half-time by bringing Bradley Johnson on for the struggling Joe Ledley.

A glorious chance went begging for Derby at the start of the second period when Harry Wilson teed up Mount, who dragged his shot wide.

And there was more frustration when Lawrence fired in a cross but it hit Craig Bryson and bobbled wide.

Leeds were in a far more clinical mood than their hosts, and Roofe came close again when his point-blank header was brilliantly saved by Carson.

Roofe did not have to wait long to make amends as he smashed in from a tight angle following Klich’s pass.

The game was then wrapped up when Hernandez crossed and Alioski headed in beyond Carson.
