Derby had gone three weeks without a win, but started the brighter side and took the lead after 12 minutes when Nugent planted a header beyond goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne. Johnson doubled the Rams'' lead midway through the second half when he ran onto Russell''s whipped cross and found the net with a powerful finish. Russell nearly got on the score sheet himself when a loose ball fell to him from a corner, but his attempt was cleared off the line. Wolves'' task was then made much harder when Cavaleiro was shown a straight red card by referee Chris Kavanagh. Marshall beat Scott Carson from Nouha Dicko''s pass to give them hope on the stroke of half-time, but Bryson benefitted from another Russell run and cross to put the game beyond the away side, who stay 15th after a third game without a win.
