  1. Thank you and goodnight

    A massive thank you for joining us on this mammoth Good Friday of non-stop football. And what a day it's been.

    We'll be back for more on Monday.

  2. What else is coming up this weekend

    Good Friday is done and dusted but the weekend is only just starting.

    Tomorrow we have three more fixtures in League One, including all of the top three in action as Wigan host Cambridge United, MK Dons play Sheffield United and Rotherham take on Ipswich Town.

    Then on Monday we're back for another bumper day of EFL action.

    All 22 Championship teams are lining up again, we have seven matches in League One and a full fixture list from League Two.

    Maybe keep an Easter egg or two back so you're well stocked and ready as we prepare to go again.

  3. Champagne on ice for Fulham

    FT: Derby 2-1 Fulham

    topBBC Sport

    It wasn't to be for Fulham tonight, but their promotion is only a matter of time, surely.

    They remain firmly at the top of the table although Bournemouth have marginally closed the gap to nine points with a game in hand still to play. Third-placed Huddersfield are 13 points behind.

  4. Rams off the bottom

    FT: Derby 2-1 Fulham

    bottomBBC Sport

    That win has moved Derby off the bottom of the table and above Peterborough and Barnsley, albeit by goal difference and one point.

    The Rams are nine points behind Reading, who beat Sheffield United earlier this afternoon.

    They live to fight another day.

    What an occasion and what a performance from every single player.

  8. FULL-TIME

    Derby 2-1 Fulham

    DaviesPA Media

    What a night for Derby as they come from behind to beat the league leaders, put a pause on their promotion party and retain a chance, still, of surviving in the Championship next season.

    Wayne Rooney really couldn't have asked for more from his players tonight.

    Fabio Carvalho got Fulham the opening goal and the script seemed to be set. But then Luke Plange and an own goal from Tosin Adarabioyo turned the game on it's head and gave Derby a massive three points, as they live to fight another day.

  9. SUBSTITUTION

    Derby 2-1 Fulham

    Seconds on the clock and 16-year-old Carlos Richards is the latest young player to be given his chance by Wayne Rooney, coming on for his debut in place of Malcolm Ebiowei.

  10. Derby 2-1 Fulham

    Derby are hanging on here and you'd have thought they had scored from the roar coming from the crowd.

    The home side really are throwing everything on the line to deny Fulham an equaliser, as Ryan Allsop makes a succession of saves before jumping on top of the ball after a flurry of pressure inside his box.

  11. YELLOW CARD

    Derby 2-1 Fulham

    In amongst all of that drama from Malcolm Ebiowei, team-mate Eiran Cashin wrote his name in the referee's book for foul.

  12. Derby 2-1 Fulham

    Ooof what a chance for Derby who were almost, almost 3-1 up then.

    Malcolm Ebiowei forces a good save out of Marek Rodak with a low, driving shot from the edge of the box.

    The fourth official then raises the board to show we have six minutes of added time coming up...!

  13. YELLOW CARD

    Derby 2-1 Fulham

    Derby keeper Ryan Allsop has been shown a yellow card for time wasting, not that we think he'll mind too much.

  14. Derby 2-1 Fulham

    The frustration is starting to show now for Fulham, as Neeskens Kebano is flagged offside as he tries to break down the left.

    Is there enough time left for one more twist in this tale tonight?

  15. SUBSTITUTION

    Derby 2-1 Fulham

    Wayne Rooney makes a second change as the clock ticks down, with Krystian Bielik making way for Louie Sibley.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Derby 2-1 Fulham

    Marco Silva is sending instructions to his players as he makes another change, with Neco Williams coming off and Rodrigo Muniz coming on to bolster their attack for the final 10 minutes.

  17. Derby 2-1 Fulham

    Sam Parkin
    Former Luton and Millwall forward on BBC Radio London

    It's a carbon-copy really from Luke Plange being in there causing problems but this time with the cross from the other side.

    Nathan Byrne did the hard work there on the right and Wayne Rooney has gone for it here with the way he's approached it.

    He's rolled the dice with 20 minutes to go with all his attacking players on at once and it's paid off.

    GOAL: Derby 2-1 Fulham

    Tosin Adarabioyo (own goal)

    TosinRex Features

    What are we watching here!

    Derby are raining all over Fulham's promotion parade and refusing to drop out of the Championship quietly.

    Tom Lawrence takes what looks like a shot at goal, but he drags the ball wide straight into the path of Luke Plange who's ready to pounce. He stretches towards the ball, but it's Fulham's Tosin Adarabioyo who gets the final touch to turn it into his own net.

    If there's one thing we've learnt about Derby this season, is that you can never count them out of it.

  19. SUBSTITUTION

    Derby 1-1 Fulham

    Marco Silva starts to ring the changes as he pushes

    Harry Wilson departs to a good reception from the home fans after his loan spell at Derby a few years ago, along with Tom Cairney, with Neeskens Kebano and Jean Michael Seri coming on in their places.

    Wayne Rooney also makes his first substitution with Festy Ebosele on for Liam Thompson.

  20. Derby 1-1 Fulham

    Fulham are wracking up the chances as Fabio Carvahlo takes another shot at goal.

    Fortunately for Derby, it took a deflection and drifts narrowly over the bar.
