Derby County boss John Eustace spoke to BBC Radio Derby following Tuesday night's 2-1 victory against Hull City.

"I thought first half we were excellent. We were playing against a really good team that had been six unbeaten, and who had a couple of really good wins," he said.

"In the second half we lost our way a little bit, we dropped too deep. But it's about the squad and we found a way in the second half to make sure we got the three points.

"I thought the way we defended the box was excellent, Jake [Widell Zetterstrom] made a couple of top saves. And when you are going through difficult moments you have to defend with your life, and we certainly did that in the second half.

"I'm really proud of Lars [Salvesen] scoring. He has obviously been through a lot since he has been at the football club and he has worked his absolute socks off to get into a position to challenge Carlton [Morris] and to get onto the bench. I thought he took his goal very well."
