    He's getting closer Aleksandar Mitrovic.

    He had that header just now and then just looked to have gone a fraction too early from that deflected Fabio Carvalho shot.

    They started this second half slowly but they've just started to pick it up again in the past few minutes.

  2. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 65 mins

    Derby 1-1 Fulham

    Almost 2-1!

    Fulham find the back of the net through Aleksandar Mitrovic but the linesman's flag is raised instantly for offside.

    Fabio Carvalho had seen a deflected shot clattered the ball against the post before Mitrovic slotted the rebound in, only to see it quickly chalked off.

    Derby 1-1 Fulham

    Another good chance for Fulham after Neco Williams goes down over a outstretched leg from Liam Thompson and wins a free-kick right on the edge of the box on the right.

    Harrison Reed picks out Aleksandar Mitrovic perfectly with his kick, and he jumps up unmarked to head it at goal but Ryan Allsop dives to palm it away.

    Tom Lawrence doesn't look happy about it as the referee reaches to his pocket and his card, but there's little doubt he caught Joe Bryan late with his tackle.

    Fulham don't appear to have much urgency about themselves in this second half.

    They need to win here and they're promoted to the Premier League, but they've actually slowed it down.

    A flicker of danger from Fulham.

    Tom Cairney picks out Harry Wilson down by the corner flag and he passes the ball back to his Wales team-mate Neco Williams.

    Wililams crosses into the box and finds Aleksandar Mitrovic, but Ryan Allsop is ready and waiting to make the save.

    Unbelievable move from Derby, what a goal.

    Made in the academy that one and a lovely finish from Luke Plange to top it off.

    This place is bouncing now.

    Pride Park is rocking as Luke Plange gets Derby level!

    Derby play the ball out excellently from the back starting with their own keeper, through their own half right up to Lee Buchanan on the left.

    Buchanan crosses the ball in across the face of goal and Plange shoots it in from close range.

    Derby might be facing an uphill battle for league survival, but they're not giving up yet.

    Derby 0-1 Fulham

    Malcolm Ebiowei was really impressive for Derby during the first-half and he starts just where he left off in the second, winning his side a corner down the right.

    Captain Tom Lawrence plays it short to the 18-year-old but this time he runs the ball out of play.

    Fulham have not been brilliant by any stretch of the imagination, Derby have had their spells.

    But Fulham have got the all-important goal and there's a bit more understanding and more nous when they get to the forward positions.

    There's a killer instinct that showed with the goal but Marco Silva might be a little disappointed with the level of performance so far.

    However at this stage of the season, it's all about results.

    Derby are working hard enough but they lack penetration in an attacking sense and a bit of quality across the pitch.

    If Fulham can get another, I think their job will be done.

    So far so good for Fulham, who are 45 minutes away from returning to Premier League as it stands thanks to that excellently worked Fabio Carvahlo goal.

    Fulham are knocking on the door here for another goal as half-time nears.

    It's Tom Cairney who fires the ball into the box this time, but veteran centre half Curtis Davies leaps up to head the ball past the post and behind to deny the visitors.

    Derby 0-1 Fulham

    Ryan Allsop to the rescue for Derby after Fabio Carvalho gets through on goal again and takes a decent shot in his direction.

    Bobby De Cordova-Reid was involved again, playing a really nice pass through to almost set Carvalho up for his second.

    A bit of a tussle between Malcolm Ebiowei and Joe Bryan after the Derby winger tries to break past him down the right. The referee steps in to have a word and calm any tensions.

    Derby 0-1 Fulham

    We've had a bit of a pause in play as Aleksandar Mitrovic has gone down and doesn't seem too happy, with the medics running on to have a look.

    Never what Fulham fans will want to see, but he gets up and appears all good to keep going.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 32 mins

    Derby 0-1 Fulham

    Liam Thompson becomes the first player to go into the referee's book for persistently pulling Aleksandar Mitrovic as he tried to dart past him.

    This looks like there's some real know-how about Fulham's game and it's a bit more off-the-cuff with Derby coming forward.

    But they're quite deliberate about the way they're trying to play and it's a nice brand of football.

    But with so many young payers, it's really difficult to pull some consistent results together which is what they've needed since the points deduction.

    Derby aren't willing to roll over and let this match slip away from them just yet.

    They win a corner but Curtis Davies can't quite loop the ball on target and it rolls wide.
