Ben Osborn scored a stunning stoppage-time winner as Nottingham Forest claimed a surprise 2-1 victory against arch-rivals Derby County.
Forest manager Stuart Pearce, by his own admission, arrived at the iPro Stadium in a vulnerable position, having overseen just two wins in 20 matches, but victory against Derby, on their own patch, to deny them top spot in the Championship, may have bought him some breathing space.
Pearce's position looked precarious at half-time as Derby led through a Henri Lansbury own goal, but Forest emerged for the second half a different team and deservedly equalised through leading scorer Britt Assombalonga on 75 minutes.
Osborn then went on a run before firing a superb shot past Lee Grant to give Forest a valuable win.

However, Alex Neil's honeymoon period at Norwich continued as they survived a Cardiff fightback to win 3-2 at Carrow Road, with Gary Hooper, Kyle Lafferty and Cameron Jerome putting the Canaries in control before the Bluebirds rallied through Alex Revell and Kadeem Harris.
