It appeared to get even worse for the Rams when Stuart Dallas gave the hosts a first-half lead, but Lampard rolled the dice early by bringing Jack Marriott off the bench and he made an instant impact.Marriott scored with his first touch to make it 1-1 on the stroke of half-time, and they came quickly out of the traps to score two more through on-loan duo Mason Mount and Harry Wilson.Dallas scored again for Leeds to make it 3-3 on aggregate, but Marriott won it late on for Derby with a composed finish.It was a game that had everything, including a sending off for each team, and was the latest in a series of dramatic comebacks from English clubs.And former Leeds manager Grayson believes the Rams result is akin to Liverpools stunning 4-0 win over Barcelona and Tottenhams miracle against Ajax in the Champions League semi-finals.Jack Marriott changed the game for Derby at Elland RoadGetty3

It was an amazing night of football, said Grayson, part of talkSPORTs commentary team at Elland Road.The stadium was rocking last night, its a really hostile place to play.Obviously it didnt go the right way for the Leeds United faithful, but for Derby County theres an opportunity for them now at Wembley in the play-off final. The odds were stacked against them so much, right from the first leg and throughout the majority of the game last night.Where does it rank? There are comparisons with Tottenham and Liverpool, and its up there.Frank Lampard celebrates Derby’s sensational play-off victory against LeedsGetty3

For the twists and turns, the turmoil, the emotions from both teams, the two sending offs, the goals, Derby coming back for the first time from losing to home leg – it was an incredible night.Im still in Leeds this morning and there is going to be a lot of devastated people waking up, but a lot of happy people in Derby.
