KEY MOMENTS

-

Chance for Villa. Scott Carson’s poor goal kick gifts the visitors possession, Albert Adomah’s centre picks out Jonathan Kodjia at the back post and he heads over.

Rams keeper Carson pushes away Tammy Abraham’s header from an Adomah cross.

Derby so close to taking the lead. Jack Marriott out-muscles Axel Tuanzebe on a long ball forward and sees his effort saved by Orjan Nyland. The ball breaks to Harry Wilson who sees his goal-bound shot blocked close to his own line by James Chester. Villa struggle to clear and then need Nyland to tip over a second effort from Wilson.

Another big chance for Derby. Carson’s punt bounces all the way through for Tom Lawrence who lifts the ball over the advancing Nyland but also over the bar.

Heading does not seem to be Abraham’s strength as the Villa striker puts another one over from close range. Let-off for Derby.

And another let-off for Derby as John McGinn’s closerange effort flashes inches wide of the far post.

The goal that Villa had threatened to score all second half arrives as McGinn buries a header from six yards from a Yannick Bolasie cross.

Villa double their lead as McGinn turns provider. He curls in a low cross from the right and Abraham finishes from close range.

60 mins: 74 mins: 78 mins:

Villa score a third. Tom Huddleston­e fouls McGinn on the edge of the area and Conor Hourihane curls his free kick beyond Carson.
