    What a tremendous win this is for Derby!

    Unless you're a Stoke fan I think it's pretty hard to begrudge the Rams a win today.

    Who know what the table will look like for them by next Saturday but, for now, they're up to 10 points.

    If Charlton don't turn this round, that will be five losses in six games, which is not good at all.

    Olivier Ntcham (86 mins)

    Well then, this is going to be a lot nervier for Luton than it looked like it would earlier.

    Two subs combine as Ben Cabango squares the ball to Olivier Ntcham who strikes a rocket into the top corner.

    This would be some comeback from the Swans who looked out of it at 3-0 down at the break.
