Derby County boss John Eustace spoke BBC Radio Derby after Saturday's 3-1 win at Sheffield United.

"It was a really good performance from the lads. They were fantastic and their attitude from the first minute was very good," he said.

"You can see that we are building and growing in the right way."

On Morris and his hat-trick, Eustace added: "Since he has come in, he has been exceptional. He is a top professional and real mentor to the rest of the group.

"He is a top leader and top player. At 29 we have got a real top performer and the recruitment in the summer to get him was exceptional. He has got a real big part to play from now until the end of the season."
