Outstanding performance
Derby County•DefenderDerby County secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Swansea City at Pride Park, with both goals coming from set-piece situations that highlighted the Swans' defensive vulnerabilities. The Rams dominated the second half after a cagey opening period, with Rhian Brewster breaking the deadlock just after the restart from a corner before Patrick Agyemang doubled the advantage with a well-placed header twenty minutes later. Paul Warne's side showed excellent game management, weathering early pressure from Swansea before taking control through their aerial prowess and superior physicality in the final third. This result continues Derby's steady climb up the Championship table and leaves Swansea searching for answers in their battle for mid-table respectability.
