Manor Solomon's excellent effort put Leeds ahead, but바카라 웹사이트Kaine Kesler-Hayden thumped in a swift equaliser.

Solomon turned provider when he set up Jayden Bogle's close-range finish, with Joel Piroe then clattering the crossbar.

Leeds were not made to pay for Piroe's profligacy, though, and with four games remaining, they could soon confirm their place back in the big time.

Plymouth's victory put the pressure on Luton Town and Cardiff City, but both of those teams fell to 1-0 defeats to Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City, respectively.

All four goals came after the 70th minute, with Pompey defender바카라 웹사이트Rob Atkinson scoring twice in Derby's net and once in his own.

Having cancelled out바카라 웹사이트Jerry Yates' opener, Atkinson then scored an own goal before popping up with a 91st-minute equaliser.
