What an amazing finish, better even than v Villa.
But why did it get to that?
I thought our passing and movement was very good, but maybe just not quick enough, it gives teams a chance to get back and we're not quite good enough to make the most of the balls in the box, for we're certainly creating enough opportunities there.
Thought Douglas was poor today, got caught out a couple of times and just cant seem to make an impact up front.
Philips was superb, the number of times he reads the ball and steps in front of his man is incredible, really don't think he fouled to give away the free kick and also thought Jansson was great, seemed to be on drugs today, great taking the ball forwards, but a couple of bits of fancy footwork makes me concerned its going a bit to his head.
Thought Forshaw was good, but imagine swapping him for Bradley Back, who I thought was great for Blackburn.
Harrison looked ok, Alioski, usual buzzing around, but both just don't seem to offer the end product.
Thought Hernandez was a little muted today, I do worry how we'll fare when he's out the side.
Overall I thought we created a lot, but didn't play at our best, I'd much rather it was this way than playing well and creating nothing.
Huge for self belief which will work wonders when limbs are tired and they just need to keep going.
These 3 points are just as valuable as the 3 points won against Villa, but the self belief for our players must be huge and we're a couple of points further ahead in the title race
Genuinely drained from that ending, what character, what a result, another step closer to automatic promotion!

Klich stopped scoring from distance as soon as he got a song for it. He’s lost his shooting boots but.... the amount of runs he makes to stretch the defence, whether he gets the ball or not, creates space for others. Been excellent, for us, even when it’s not the show pony stuff.

There's been seen some great late goals at Elland Road down the years but when Roofe nodded that in right in front of the Kop it is right up there with them.Pure joy.What a moment.

Can’t remember the last time the place erupted like that, that’s why you go, those moments.

Ayling brought back too quickly should have got some match sharpness for U23s first?

I think the problem is that Shacks is carrying a muscle tear so they are nursing him along JLA.
