Derby Beat Swansea 2-0 To Enter Championship Play-Off Places

Callum Elder's corners settled the game against a possession-heavy Swansea side.

Overview

  • The win was Derby's first home league victory since New Year's Day and moved them up to sixth.
  • Rhian Brewster scored after his initial header was blocked from an Elder corner, before Patrick Agyemang headed in for his 10th goal of the season.
  • Swansea had roughly 72% possession with more shots and higher xG but lacked a cutting edge in front of goal.
  • Manager John Eustace called it a "fantastic" result and praised his team's discipline and set-piece threat.
  • Sam Szmodics made his debut in midfield, Carlton Morris returned to the bench, and Bobby Clark was rested due to groin issues, according to Eustace.
