The match started evenly but once the young Rams took the lead, Sunderland never recovered.

As Paul Brayson lamented afterwards: "There seemed to be an acceptance of another defeat after they took the lead. Heads went down and unlike in recent games, this was not only another loss but this time it was a very poor performance as well."
