Derby boss, Frank Lampard, has taken a sly dig at Leeds fans after their catchy terrace chant went viral in recent days.

The two sides clashed on Saturday in the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final with Leeds coming out on top thanks to a Kemar Roofe goal.

The away fans inside Pride Park made their voices heard, trying out a new chant which poked fun at Derby and Lampard.

But the Rams boss hit back today, taunting Leeds about their lack of Premier League football in recent years.

“No, of course not, it is good fun,” he said when asked if he was bothered by the song.

“As a Chelsea player, there was a rivalry always with Leeds.

“We didn’t play them that much because we were in the Premier League, but that comes with it.

“I will take a song all day long. My worry is what the players do on the pitch.”

The Leeds fans ensured footage of them singing went viral on social media, with rival football supporters quick to praise their efforts.

“Cos all of the spies are hidden away,” they sang to the tune of Oasis’ 2002 hit ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’.

“Try not to worry, you’ll beat us some day.

“We beat you at home and we beat you away.

“Stop crying Frank Lampard.”

Speaking ahead of the reverse fixture this week, Marcelo Bielsa said: “We know that there is a long path to reach our goal, we have just played the first part of the duel and we have the second part to play now,” said Bielsa.

“The difference is only one goal and the idea is to increase this difference and prevent the opponent from reducing it.
