Derby County clearly have no intention of giving up. Their hopes of finding new owners remain up in the air which is where substitute Krystian Bielik, making his first appearance for a year after an ACL injury, found himself six minutes into added time, with his back to goal, to score the equaliser with a brilliant scissor kick. “As a team, we’ve been writing our own scripts this season,” Wayne Rooney said.
Bielik’s goal was one overhead the club’s administrators won’t mind. Rooney’s team gave their fans every reason to chant “We’re Derby County, we fight till the end” on a day when thousands marched from the city centre to the game to mark their support for the club.
