Nigel Clough praises his players for their 3-1 win over Leeds United on Saturday.

Derby County manager Nigel Clough has praised his players for their "very, very solid" 3-1 win at home to Leeds United on Saturday.

Derby went ahead early on but were pegged back just before half-time, before going on to score two unanswered goals in the second half.

Clough was delighted with the "character" the Rams showed in that second period.

"We were on the front foot early on and it was a very, very solid home performance," the Derby Telegraph quotes Clough as saying.

"Apart from a small period in the game, we played some excellent stuff and the character and honesty of the players again shone through."

Derby are just three points off the Championship playoff places in 10th.
