Derby 2 – 1 Fulham

Derby illustrated their unwavering determination once again by coming from behind to beat Fulham 2-1, delaying the confirmation of automatic promotion for the Cottagers and keeping their slim survival hopes alive.

Following Luton’s win over Nottingham Forest earlier on Good Friday, Marco Silva’s men would have secured a return to the Premier League after one season away with victory, which they looked set to do when Fabio Carvalho tucked in the opener after 20 minutes.

But Wayne Rooney’s men were the better side after the break and, after teenage striker Luke Plange steered home an equaliser (51), a Tosin Adarabioyo own goal (73) sent the home fans wild and secured all three points for the Rams.

Defeat means Fulham have lost back-to-back games for the first time this season, yet they still lead second-placed Bournemouth – who have a game in hand – by nine points. Derby climb up to 22nd, nine points from safety with four games to play.

What’s next?

Derby are back in action at 3pm on Easter Monday, when they travel to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium to take on QPR, in a game live on Sky Sports Football Red Button. Fulham, meanwhile, return at 7.45pm the following evening, when they host Preston at Craven Cottage.
