Outstanding goals from Craig Bryson and Jack Marriott saw off the Blades in an encounter that saw possession dominated by Sheffield United during the first 45 minutes. The Rams rallied in the second period and took back the initiative on possession and the excellent goal from Jack Marriott in the 77th minute as just reward for the persistence and  fight shown by the Rams who had Tom Huddlestone in the holding and creative midfield role and lost their other midfield dynamo in Craig Bryson due to an injury.

The Rams now move up the table to fifth place after their win.
