Derby County 3-0 Bristol City: Kenzo Goudmijn scores in Rams win

Derby’s third home win out of three this season was as much down to their tactical nous as their ruthless attacking.

Boss Paul Warne has said his side are not “Championship ready”, but while they may struggle to compete in terms of finances and experience, their energy and organisation once again stood out.

City were on top early on and had the better chances, notably Armstrong, who was twice denied by Swedish keeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom.

But Derby, who had looked dangerous on the break, always seemed likely winners after Goudmijn’s cool, low strike deflected in for his first goal, on his sixth appearance, for the club.

A brilliant Curtis Nelson block kept out Twine’s shot and ensured Derby led at the break.

Jackson’s powerful right-footed effort beat keeper Max O’Leary from 15 yards to make it 2-0

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Yates both hit the post as Derby chased a third goal , which arrived when Ozoh crashed the ball home on the rebound following O’Leary’s initial save from an Ebou Adams shot.
