'Leader' Morris is John's Ram-raider

JOHN EUSTACE says Derby are lucky to have “leader” Carlton Morris after his 10th goal of the season set the Rams on their way to a gritty 2-1 win at Blackburn.

It was a happy return to Ewood Park for Eustace, who swapped clubs in February for a relegation battle, but his new charges are the ones looking most likely to challenge the top six, led by Morris who skilfully glanced the Rams into a 19th-minute lead.

Patrick Agyemang doubled their lead with a powerful header before the break and though Yuki Ohashi’s second-half penalty gave the hosts hope, Derby dug in to weather the storm.
