Leeds United boss Paul Heckingbottom has explained his decision to use Jay Roy-Grot against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday’s Championship clash at Elland Road.

The Whites suffered yet another frustrating defeat as they lost 2-1 against their Yorkshire derby rivals.

Atdhe Nuhiu scored two goals for the visitors including an injury time winner to seal the tie in Wednesday’s favour.

Leeds fans were given a hope to gain something from the match when Roy-Grot came on from the bench to score the equaliser in the 86th minute.
