15' Reading FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
16' Richard Stearman has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 16.
21' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Wayne Rooney will be considering his options from the bench.

31' Jason Knight has been relatively quiet despite scoring 21 goals in his last 385 appearances.
33' Craig Forsyth puts Derby County FC on the lead.

68' England international Scott Dann has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
73' The travelling Reading FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
74' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Graeme Shinnie.

81' It is a substitution in Derby County FC team. Jason Knight is replaced by Lee Buchanan on 81 minute.
