It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Leeds fans will be feeling vindicated, if not entirely happy, tonight after another terrible display from Kemar Roofe in the 2-2 draw against Derby County. Leeds fans were desperate to see the return of star attacker Samu Saiz and weren't happy when Paul Heckingbottom decided to leave him on the bench. Saiz had served a six-match suspension and the manager had hinted that he would ease him back into the action. Roofe, however, has been off the pace for a few weeks now and put in another listless performance before he was finally hooked off in the 55th minute and replaced with Saiz. According to stats he touched the ball 10 times – less than any other outfield player on the pitch – as fans were quick to point out when Saiz came on. Fans were delighted to see the Spaniard with the score at 1-1 after Pierre-Michel Lasogga had given the away side the lead, only to be pegged back just before half-time by Andreas Weimann. And it was only right that he set up the second Leeds goal with a great ball to Ezgjan Alioski, who needed two goes to put the ball away. Leeds couldn't hold on though and let in a late equaliser in injury time to leave the fans thoroughly deflated and their play-off hopes in tatters. Here are the best reactions from Leeds fans to another shocker from Roofe:
