Wayne Rooney’s Derby toppled another of the Championship’s top sides as they battled to a hard-fought win over West Bromwich Albion.
Having already seen off Stoke City and Bournemouth on home soil, the up-for-sale Rams again upset the odds to beat the punchless Baggies.
Their sixth league win of the season came thanks to a defensive howler that gifted substitute Colin Kazim-Richards the only goal of the game just a minute after he came on.
Albion, who would have gone second if they had won, also only had themselves to blame after failing to take a string of chances.
But Derby then sealed all three points when Ryan Alsop made a stunning late point-blank save to keep out Kyle Bartley’s injury-time header.
