A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a post from the EFL showing footage from the second leg of last year’s play-off semi-final with Derby County.
The video shows the Rams score their fourth goal at Elland Road to seal their progress through to the final, where they were beaten 2-1 by Aston Villa.
This post attracted the attention of lots of Leeds fans.

What do we think?
A lot of Leeds fans are calling that moment pointless, and ultimately it proved to be as the Rams were beaten in the final, but it was still a brilliant moment for Derby that can’t be taken away from them.
Are you still annoyed by this result?
Yes, it still hurts
No, moved on now
This season, however, Derby have struggled and find themselves in 12th place, sacking their captain Richard Keogh after an off-the-field incident ruled him out for at least a year.
The Whites, on the other hand, are seven points clear of third and were top of the league before the Championship was suspended.
So it seems Leeds have responded to their own failure to win promotion better than Derby have.
