    Time:90'
    • Nottingham Forest
    • Derby County
    • 90+6' The full-time whistle is blown by Martin Atkinson and Nottingham Forest have clung on to claim a dramatic 3-2 victory over rivals Derby at the City Ground! Nigel Clough's side staged a stunning second-half comeback, but it was not enough to salvage a point as Forest clinch a tense win! Thanks for joining us.
    • 90+4' Camp alleviates the danger for Forest with a very smart catch in the box amid a pile of bodies and that was very brave goalkeeping. Earnshaw is booked for a rash challenge on Teale.
    • 90+2' The stretcher is called for McKenna, but he waves it away before limping off the field to a standing ovation.
    • 90+1' McKenna stays down as he and Dickov collide accidentally, stretching to reach a loose ball in midfield. There is a delay as he receives treatment.
    • 90' Four minutes will be added at the end of this second half as Derby continue to press desperately for an equaliser.
    • 89' McCleary gets involved in a needless tangle with Savage which causes the Derby captain to take an exaggerated tumble, and Atkinson is unimpressed, but keeps his cards in his pocket - McCleary is fortunate there.
    • 87' Derby have three men up front - Dickov, Hulse and Croft - and the trio stay upfield despite Forest winning a corner through Cohen.
    • 86' As the final whistle draws nearer, the home fans roar their side on as they look to keep possession and frustrate Derby.
    • 85' Billy Davies and Nigel Clough are both out on their technical areas, bawling out instructions to their sides but for some inexplicable reason Martin Atkinson halts play to have a stern word with the pair.
    • 84' Dickov comes on to replace Jake Buxton and Bywater hammers a long ball up to Hulse
    • 82' Derby are poised to introduce Paul Dickov to give their forward line some added impetus.
    • 81' The Derby players are charging around desperately seeking possession and looking to launch the ball up to Hulse.
    • 79' Billy Davies stands up from the dugout and waves at the home crowd in a determined manner to whip the supporters up into a frenzy.
    • 78' Paul Green comes on for Derby to replace Jake Livermore, who has tired despite a very good second-half performance.
    • 77' Miles Addison is rightly booked for scything down Earnshaw crudely after the striker had evaded his initial challenge - no complaints there.
    • 75' Buxton clears the danger for Derby after Adebola wins another aerial challenge with Earnshaw nipping around at his feet.
    • 74' Teale and Moxey combine down the left for Derby but Hulse's touch is poor as the ball is fed into his feet.
    • 73' Livermore looks sharp for Derby as he bustles his way down the right in support of Hulse, and the striker is looking much less isolated this half.
    • 71' Dele Adebola is providing a good physical presence in attack, but needs support up front and Earnshaw will be that man with Tyson moving back outwide.
    • 70' Robert Earnshaw replaces David McGoldrick in Forest's third change, and the hosts' cards are now on the table - can they hold on?
    • 69' Billy Davies is now preparing a third substitution with Robert Earnshaw about to come on after an extended warm up.
    • 68' Teale storms forward and unleashes a low drive from 25 yards which zips narrowly wide of the near post with Derby's pressure incessant.
    • 67' Davies is tinkering with his forward line now as Tyson moves into a more central position.
    • 66' Derby are piling the pressure on their opponents, smelling an unlikely comeback, with their supporters roaring them on.
    • 65' Joe Garner, who was on a booking, is brought off by Billy Davies with Garath McClearly replacing him.
    • 64' The visiting fans are in full voice as Savage waves his arms to provoke them further! Billy Davies looks to be preparing another substitution.
    • 62' GOAL!!! Derby get another goal back to narrow the deficit further - it is 3-2! More sloppy defending from the hosts as Derby launch the ball into their box, and it is not dealt with leaving Livermore to stab home!
    • 61' Derby are having all the possession in this second half and Forest really have not started as they left off after half time.
    • 60' Rob Hulse holds the ball up well for Derby as he failed to do in the first half, and the striker is proving a useful outlet now.
    • 59' A foul is given against Majewski after he makes a robust challenge on Savage, and the Derby captain remonstrates with Martin Atkinson.
    • 58' Connolly wins a corner for his side and Addison and co trot into the box to provide some aerial targets.
    • 57' Derby press forward through Teale, who has looked bright despite his side's poor display in the first half. The rollicking from Clough at half time must have done the job.
    • 56' The crowd rise to applaud Dexter Blackstock as he is brought off by Davies with Adebola coming on in his place - it is just a straight swap so Chambers must be okay.
    • 55' Dele Adebola is warming up for Forest, and he may even be involved in a defensive reshuffle as Chambers continues to struggle after a knock in the first half.
    • 54' Billy Davies, despite his side being in the ascendency, is pacing around on the touchline in a very agitated fashion.
    • 53' Another foul from Moxey prompts the defender to run away from Martin Atkinson after clattering Cohen from behind, and the Derby player is treading a very fine line.
    • 52' The atmosphere is pretty surreal at the City Ground now as the home fans realise that their side are still in control, but the Derby supporters sense that they could still be in the match.
    • 51' GOAL!!! Derby have a goal back courtesy of an own goal from Chris Cohen! Miles Addison steals in to force the mistake as Camp dallies in goal and that bizarre defending from the hosts gifts their opponents a glimmer of hope at 3-1!
    • 50' Derby put the pressure on their opponents through Savage and Teale, who combine with a swift one-two and win a corner.
    • 49' A huge roar came out from the home fans as Commons's departure was announced over the tannoy, while Garner makes another marauding run down the wing for Forest.
    • 48' Robert Earnshaw was reportedly kept in the changing room for much longer than the other Forest substitutes, which suggests that his introduction may be pretty imminent - we will see.
    • 47' Addison is almost caught out from the off, with McGoldrick racing forward and putting the defender under pressure.
    • 46' The second half is underway and Derby have made a change. Lee Croft replaces Kris Commons, who has had a torrid return to the City Ground after being directly at fault for the third goal.
    • 45+1' What a first half for Forest comes to an end as Martin Atkinson blows his whistle to prompt rapturous applause! The home side lead 3-0 courtesy of goals from Majewski, Blackstock and Tyson! Is there any way back for Derby?
    • 45' Just one minute will be added at the end of this first half, and Forest will be attacking the Trent End in the second.
    • 44' Derby boss Nigel Clough must be desperate to get his side in at half-time to give them a stern talking to, while the home fans roar on their side who are just stroking the ball around casually now.
    • 43' Tyson is booked for taking off his shirt in the euphoria of scoring his side's third goal, and Billy Davies is furious on the touchline.
    • 42' GOAL!!! Nathan Tyson makes it 3-0 for Forest at the City Ground! Blackstock charges down the right wing before delivering a slick ball inside to Tyson who lashes the ball home from six yards to beat Bywater! Kris Commons was at fault, giving the ball and not bothering to chase back to retrieve the ball for his side.
    • 41' Forest continue to pile on the pressure as the first half nears its conclusion, with Billy Davies urging his side forward in attack.
    • 39' McKenna and McGoldrick combine for Forest, before Addison makes a fine challenge to dispossess the midfielder.
    • 38' What a chance for Rob Hulse! The Derby striker streaks through on goal, but Camp makes a fine save, racing off his line to deny Hulse and keep the score at 2-0. Again, the Forest defence opened up there.
    • 37' Forest look to keep the tempo of the match nice and high as Derby struggle to keep the pace of the hosts' forwards at bay. Majewski is moving much better now after taking that knock a few minutes ago.
    • 36' Derby have a goal disallowed! Teale floats over a free kick which is headed by Hulse to Camp's left and the keeper makes a superb reflex save, but the striker's follow up is ruled out to his dismay after a push on Morgan.
    • 35' Teale whips in a delivery from the right for Derby, and the visitors are looking to end the first half on a high.
    • 34' Pearson continues to spray the ball around for Derby, but Hulse is really struggling to hold possession in the Forest half.
    • 33' Majewski is down clutching his right thigh, but he looks like he will be okay as he gets gingerly to his feet on halfway. Billy Davies looks on in concern.
    • 32' Blackstock has looked a real threat for Forest in this first half and the striker is continuing to cause havoc in the Derby half.
    • 31' The home fans are understandably buoyant after the second goal, and Derby's players are bawling each other out in the aftermath to Blackstock's header.
    • 29' Tyson and Blackstock combine very effectively before the second Forest goalscorer is penalised for a shoulder barge on Buxton - that was pretty dubious again, but Atkinson is consistently firm.
    • 28' GOAL!!! Dexter Blackstock scores his third goal of the season, converting Cohen's cross from the right with a firm header to beat Bywater at his near post! Forest lead 2-0 and it is no more than their pressure has deserved in this first half.
    • 26' Wes Morgan lofts in a free kick which Forest do well to clear after Miles Addison had committed a foul on Garner.
    • 25' Clough is absolutely seething as Buxton is adjudged to have fouled Tyson, but there was nothing in that whatsoever.
    • 24' Gunter and Garner combine for Forest before Savage makes another good challenge.
    • 23' Savage and McKenna jostle for the ball in midfield, and that is a contest which will continue throughout the match you suspect.
    • 22' Teale squanders a good chance, catching Cohen out of position after he made a run at the other end, but the midfielder's shot off target from close range.
    • 21' Chris Gunter makes a marauding run down the wing for Forest, but his cross does not quite find Blackstock at the far post.
    • 20' At the other end, Hulse drills a low drive from 12 yards on the volley which is directed straight at Camp and is comfortably saved.
    • 19' Majewski attempts another long-range shot from 25 yards but Bywater makes a smart stop.
    • 18' Savage is very cool in taking down a high ball punted up field from Garner in his stride and regaining possession for his side.
    • 17' Moxey makes another tasty tackle in his half, and Nigel Clough must be very concerned about the defender's approach thus far - he is treading a tightrope already!
    • 16' Robbie Savage whips in a free kick after Gunter fouls Commons, but the delivery does not find Hulse, the intended target, in the box.
    • 15' Stephen Pearson has looked an immense presence for Derby so far amidst the chaos and he makes another impeccably-timed tackle on McKenna.
    • 14' The atmosphere from both sets of fans at the City Ground continues to be vociferous as the intensity of play in midfield, in particular, heats up once more.
    • 13' The pace of the match continues to be frantic and another breathless attack from Forest peters out as McGoldrick slips a ball inside to Blackstock, but his shot is poor.
    • 12' Jack Buxton is booked for a reckless challenge on Tyson, and he is the second Derby defender to be cautioned in this first half - that was a bit harsh.
    • 11' Joe Garner fouls Moxey, and just as the Derby man saw in the third minute, Martin Atkinson does not tolerate those kind of firm challenges - Garner is booked.
    • 10' Tyson attempts to skip past Connolly and feed Blackstock, but just as the cross is about to come in the defender makes a fine tackle.
    • 9' Hulse gives the ball away cheaply as Derby continue to struggle to hold possession and keep their composure early on.
    • 8' Dean Moxey, after being booked early on for Derby, has another robust challenge on McKenna in midfield, but this time he gets the ball fairly.
    • 7' Derby boss Nigel Clough paces anxiously down the touchline as his side begin to gain a foothold in the first half after a dreadful start.
    • 6' Derby finally have an attack of their own through Teale and Livermore, but Cohen makes a foul on Commons which referee Martin Atkinson takes exception to.
    • 4' Garner picks up the ball down the right for Forest now, and Derby have not settled at all so far in this match and look very shaky at the back.
    • 3' Forest continue to press forward with real intensity, and Cohen is at the forefront of everything early on for the hosts, with Tyson providing a good outlet in attack. Dean Moxey is booked for a mistimed tackle.
    • 1' GOAL!!!! Radoslaw Majewski scores for Forest and it is an absolute belter of a strike! The shot was drilled right-footed into the top right hand corner of the net from 20 yards - what a start to the match!
    • 1' We are underway at the City Ground with Forest kicking us off, and the atmosphere is as fervent as you would expect at an East Midlands derby.
    • - Nottm Forest: Camp, Gunter, Morgan, Chambers, Cohen, McGoldrick, Garner, McKenna, Majewski, Tyson, Blackstock. Subs: Smith, Anderson, Adebola, Earnshaw, McCleary, Davies, Mitchell
    • - Derby: Bywater, Connolly, Addison, Buxton, Moxey, Pearson, Savage, Livermore, Teale, Commons, Hulse. Subs: Deeney, McEveley, Green, Leacock, Croft, Barker, Dickov
    • - Derby have made a brighter start to the season than Forest with eight points, leaving them in eighth place, while Forest have just three points and lie in 18th place in the embryonic table.
    • - East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest and Derby meet at the City Ground in the Championship with both sides playing their sixth game of the campaign.
