Derby County 2-2 Shrewsbury: Tom Bayliss, Luke Leahy hit back to dent Rams' automatic promotion bid
Saturday 4 March 2023 18:55, UK
Derby's automatic promotion hopes were dented as Shrewsbury came from two goals down to draw 2-2 in League One.
Haydon Roberts and David McGoldrick scored as the Rams took a 2-0 lead at half-time.
But second-half strikes from Tom Bayliss and Luke Leahy saw the Rams slip 10 points off second-placed Plymouth.
Derby had a great chance in the eighth minute when Tom Barkhuizen crossed to the back post but McGoldrick headed over when he should have hit the target.
The home side were dominating and went ahead through a superb strike by Roberts who drilled a left-footed shot into the top right corner from 20 yards in the 20th minute.
