Derby – Swansea

Derby’s home trip to Swansea ended in a humiliating 0‑3 defeat, widening the gap between the two sides in the league. The loss leaves Derby perched in 22nd place with just four points from one win, one draw and five defeats, their goal tally slipping to six for and 13 against. Swansea, meanwhile, sit comfortably in third, having amassed 14 points from four victories, two draws and a single loss, and they improve their goal difference to +6 with eleven scored and five conceded. The result also settles the season’s head‑to‑head in Swansea’s favour, after the Welsh side beat Derby in their only previous meeting. The three‑goal margin underscores Swansea’s dominance and Derby’s growing relegation worries.
