Striker Ellington hits winner for Derby County at Norwich City

Saturday, October 04, 2008, 17:11

SUBSTITUTE Nathan Ellington took advantage of a David Marshall howler to earn 10-man Derby County a deserved 2-1 victory in this Coca-Cola Championship clash at Carrow Road.

The game looked to be destined for a draw before Marshall made a hash of a clearance to gift the ball to Ellington, who tapped the ball into the empty net from outside the area.

The hosts had drawn level through Sammy Clingan’s second-half penalty after Roy Carroll was shown a straight red card for hauling down Leroy Lita in the area.

The Rams had dominated prior to the sending-off and deservedly went ahead through Rob Hulse’s first-half bullet header.

Impressive Derby striker Steve Davies had chances to add to the visitors’ lead and they seemed to have been made to pay for the misses before Ellington’s late strike.

The result extends the Rams’ unbeaten run to six games, while Norwich remain winless in four.
