Derby County and Paul Warne receive ‘unbelievable’ response after Port Vale turnaround

25 Jan 2023
Port Vale vs Derby County

Derby County fans have given their reaction to the dramatic 2-1 win over Port Vale, where two late goals saw them grab all three points.

The Rams went into the match looking to extend their unbeaten run to 19 games under manager Paul Warne. Derby came out as 2-1 winners over Bolton Wanderers in their last outing.

However, things didn’t go as Derby would have hoped at Vale Park. Funso Ojo’s strike in the second half looked to be ending the side’s unbeaten run with the clock ticking down.

But the Rams staged a dramatic comeback through David McGoldrick, who struck an equaliser with just three minutes of normal time left to play. It got even better for the Rams two minutes later when Nathaniel Mendez-Laing made it 2-1 to Derby in the 89th minute.
