Full-back's post-match thoughts.

James Justin vs Derby

Leeds United progressed to the Emirates FA Cup fourth round with a 3-1 win from behind away at Derby County, scoring three times in the second half.

Half-time substitute James Justin confirmed a place in the pot for the Whites, finishing off a nice move to add a third goal in added time.

"We knew coming into the game it was going to be a difficult one," Justin told the media after the game.

"We had to weather the storm, I'd say, in the first 15 or 20 [minutes] because they were at it and after that, I feel like we took control of the game.

"It's a great feeling to be in the next round and to be honest, with the traveling crowd here, it felt felt like we're at home and just the support was top as always. We hopefully never let them down.

"In football, things can go either way, and it's just about the heart and spirit you show on the pitch and the performances and then the results will come in the end."

On his first goal for Leeds: "It was a great feeling at the end of the game. I think I got a rush of blood when I got in front of the goal. Luckily, it went in the back of the net and it was a nice little cherry on top."
