HAMMERS RISE FROM THE DEAD

Anthony Musaba opened the scoring after eight minutes, Paris Maghoma doubled it on 27 from Jack Stacey's pass and Darlin Yongwa made it three a minute before the break.

Jovon Makama added the fourth on 66 minutes with a right-footed drive from outside the box.

The numbers told the story as plainly as the scoreline. Norwich had 16 shots to Derby's four and seven on target to one, and the home side managed an expected-goals figure of just 0.24.

Derby have one win from 14 league games and stay 23rd on seven points. For Norwich, a third straight win lifts them to 12th on 18 points.

Derby host Bolton on Friday night, while Norwich go to Bristol City on Saturday lunchtime.

"A really disappointing evening, we've had to mix things up before the game as we lost Ryan Hedges in training," Derby head coach John Eustace told BBC Radio Derby. "Tactically I got it wrong tonight and I'll take full responsibility for the performance. I'm confident I can turn things around, I'm certainly not giving up."

Norwich head coach Philippe Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk: "The team did what we wanted to do tonight by being dominant on the ball and controlling the game with the ball." Opening scorer Anthony Musaba added: "We got a clean sheet with loads of goals so it's a top performance."

Derby skipper Carlton Morris did not spare his own dressing room. "It's just unacceptable, it's not how we represent this great football club," he told BBC Radio Derby. "We need people to stand up and not shrink, it's too easy to go under, too easy to not want the ball and too easy to be scared to make a mistake."

Preston started brightly. Leo Leroy put them ahead in the second minute, from Andrija Vukčević's assist. Then Peck took over. Harrison Burrows set up the equaliser on 27 minutes, Ben Brereton the second ten minutes later, and Romelle Donovan the third in first-half stoppage time.

Callum Lang pulled one back on 76 minutes, sweeping in Alfie Devine's pass from the centre of the box. The Blades held on, and Preston remain bottom.

"Sydie's all-round performance was excellent - he's a touch disappointed as he had two good chances in the second half. He'll get all the headlines and deservedly so," Blades boss Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield. "One day he'll hopefully captain this club - it was too early for him when I came back and I needed to make sure he got his head down and showed he's a good footballer and he was a good footballer tonight."

Preston manager Graham Alexander saw something to build on after the break. "We have to find a way of creating that mentality, that anger, because that's what I thought we saw in the second half. There was an anger about our team. A controlled anger," he said. "There are times when we might look like we don't care or we're not fully committed but we are."

Devlin put Pompey ahead in the 36th minute and they held that lead until the 85th, when substitute Zan Vipotnik levelled from the penalty spot.

Swansea did not get long to enjoy it. Devlin struck again in the 92nd minute, and fellow substitute Waddingham added a third deep in stoppage time, in the 98th minute.

It follows Saturday's goalless draw at Burnley and keeps Pompey's unbeaten run going, while Vitor Matos' Swansea, fresh from a 4-0 win over Blackburn, missed the chance to go top and drop to fourth. Tempers boiled over after the final whistle, with members of both coaching staffs involved in a confrontation in the centre circle, BBC Radio Wales reported.

"It was a massive win and a really important night for us," Pompey boss John Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent. "I was disappointed with the way we conceded. I thought it was a really soft penalty. We had opportunities on the counter attack but to respond to the equaliser in the way we did was magnificent."

Swansea boss Vitor Matos, speaking after the game, said: "It wasn't easy at the end but we want to be a team that stays emotionally balanced and calm in every situation. That is something we can improve."

Cochrane's opener came from a long free-kick by goalkeeper Allsop. Millwall cleared it only as far as the full-back, and he drove it low into the corner from 25 yards.

Bird, on his first start for the club, made it two in the 16th minute. Jhon Solís found him in space, and Bird sidestepped his man and picked out the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Thirteen minutes later he turned provider, finding Stansfield, who cut in from the right and finished left-footed from the edge of the area.

Millwall were not without openings. Allsop saved a Taylor header from a Lyndon Dykes long throw and Lisbie fired the rebound over, while Dykes lifted one over the bar after a dangerous counter.

After the break Camiel Neghli hit the crossbar for the visitors, and substitute Carlos Vicente struck a post late on for Blues before Max Crocombe gathered the rebound.

The win makes it ten home games unbeaten, and BBC Sport noted it is the first time since 2009 that they have won three home Championship games in a row without conceding.

Millwall, who thrashed Derby 4-1 on Saturday, slip to 13th.

"Getting a margin in a game is wonderful as you can give yourself a cushion to work within," Blues boss Chris Davies told BBC Radio WM. "We were fluid, aggressive in the press, didn't give them time or give anything away."

Davies was not getting carried away by second place. "The league table at the moment is temporary but when I came in, the club had been relegated to League One so we've come a long way since then - we feel we deserve to be where we are but there's a long way to go."
