00:00798 Premiership season at their new home Pride Park where they remained undefeated going into the clash with Arsenal on November the 1st

00:07The Gunners arrived as the only unbeaten side left in the top flight

00:13Derby were without defender Christian Daly who was suffering from tonsillitis

00:17Manager Jim Smith opted to play Dean Sturridge in attack ahead of Dion Burton

00:22Sturridge partnered Costa Rican striker Paulo Wanchop who'd just been named player of the month for October

00:28Nikola Ronelka made his first league start for Arsenal replacing the suspended Dennis Bergkamp

00:33This was also Emmanuel Petit's last game before an automatic ban

00:37Following his red card against Aston Villa the previous week. Your match commentator is John Champion

00:44Derby able to take plenty of pride in Pride Park where they remain unbeaten

00:49three wins and two draws

00:51Barnsley Everton and Southampton defeated here

00:55latterly

00:56All square against Manchester United and against Wimbledon

01:00So they wanted when they left the cozy confines of the baseball ground

01:04place that

01:05the opposition worried about visiting

01:09And their home form has been very very strong so far

01:13But in Arsenal they face the only unbeaten team remaining in the Premier League

01:18Six wins and six draws and if they avoid defeat today, it'll be a new Premier League record

01:24For an unbeaten start to the season

01:26It will be 13 games

01:29This is Gary Rowett for Derby

01:33Too high for Sturridge and all the way through on the bounce of David Seaman

01:41The rise of Derby is one of the happier tales in English football

01:4611 years since they were playing in the old third division

01:50a

01:52Succession of good managers latterly Roy McFarland and now Jim Smith

01:57Brought them back to their place among the elite

02:00This is parlour

02:02Block is by Chris Powell

02:05Arsenal have a corner

02:15Manuel Petit is coming across to take it

02:19Oh

02:24One shot Larson and Adams players marking up inside the area and Mark Paul with a comfortable take

02:37Solis the Costa Rican

02:42Forcing the throw from bold

02:45Solis was part of the package arranged by Jim Smith. It also brought Palo one shot to the club

02:53Clearing that ball

02:56Steve Bowles sustained an injury to his shorts

03:01Nice and banger obtained a third-place finish in his first Premier League season

03:08Fatigue

03:12Carbon

03:14I

03:19Don't know once they played forward Darryl Powell

03:25The cars leak sizing one up

03:32They scored recently in the four nil win over Southampton that one had a bit of slice on it

03:44I

03:51Extraordinary really that Lee Dixon and his cohorts are still together. It's the same back five

03:57That's when I saw last on the title. Here's the error goes down under the challenge of cars late

04:03Arsenal have a penalty

04:11The long striding Patrick Vieira

04:14brought to earth

04:16by a clumsy challenge from Lee Carsley

04:25And the responsibility lies with Arsenal's record goal scorer

04:31Two days short of his 34th birthday, it's Ian Wright's

04:39Mr. Caping

04:44Oh

04:48In right went high too high

05:04There's not down one shot sterages on side

05:08As far as money still saw this Darryl Powell

05:14Carsley

05:20Such as in rights record for the penalty spot that Darby must have expected

05:26They would go a goal down

05:28When referee all cop pointed to the spot. That's a bonus for Jim Smith bonus for Darby

05:3425 years a league manager Smith now

05:39Again in non-league with Boston his first league appointment

05:43And he replaced Dick Graham at Colchester back in 1972

05:55And

05:5772

06:04In right

06:09The tape

06:16Of 30,000 and for

06:27I

06:30Don't know the one shot

06:35Darrell Powell beside him is Chris power

06:44Intervention by Dixon

06:46Now we have one in the last three games

06:50The waveform hasn't matched their

06:52Performances here at Pride Park. They lost 4-0 at Liverpool last Saturday

07:00Chris Powell

07:04Well, it was an inviting cross

07:07And Darrell Powell that is up most to get on the end of it

07:17Darby are making the most of their letoff

07:21Played some nice attacking football

07:25Powell went full-length but

07:28Make meaningful contact

07:41Darby without the calming influence of Christian daily today through tonsillitis

07:46Arsenal missing Dennis Bergkamp who suspended

07:50And Ian Wright

07:52Arrived here today and tried to tell us before the game that he got laryngitis except his voice is gone

07:58She's a rarity for him

08:00Here's an Elka

08:03Right who's not feeling a hundred percent and maybe that was something to do with his penalty

08:09He's eager to play nonetheless and really Arsenal needed him to play with Bergkamp out

08:16Dixon

08:19That was arriving

08:22And there's the halftime whistle

08:24First half full of endeavor

08:26Maybe not that much by way of inspiration, but Arsenal will feel they should be in front

08:30Thanks to the award of the penalty

08:32Spurned by Ian Wright

08:35Carsley's foul on Patrick Vieira caused Paul Alcock to point to the spot

08:40And you would have backed Ian Wright to score from there

08:43And Elka headed the rebound wide

08:46And so the halftime situation here at Pride Park

08:49Only the sixth Premier League game to be staged here

08:52Sees a goalless scoreline Darby County nil

08:56Arsenal nil plenty more to come

09:02Changed by the Rams at the outset of the second half fullback Rob Coslick is coming on in place of Mauricio Solis the Costa Rican

09:13Coslick

09:16Who made his Premier League debut at Liverpool only last weekend

09:23Baiano and Sturridge will get the second half going

09:32Darby after 102 years at the baseball ground

09:37Already feeling very much at home here

09:41Jim Smith assisted by Steve McLaren

09:44Word from the Darby camp is that McLaren's innovative coaching techniques are going down very well in these parts

09:52Here's Parler

09:59Lee Dixon

10:11Bold

10:14Adams

10:18Broken for one shot

10:21Runners left and right and he's still going

10:23And he's squeezed a shot Leon Seaman

10:28Inside the first minute of this second period

10:34And arguably the most unpredictable player in the English Premier League

10:39Has put Darby in front

10:42Makes a habit of scoring against the big boys

10:44Remember his debut at Old Trafford last season

10:48And he's done it again here against Arsenal

10:55Jim Smith has picked out a rough time on that

10:59Francesco Baiano

11:02Enlisting the help of Chris Parr

11:12Well he knows no fear Paolo Wanczok

11:14There is no inhibition to his game at all

11:19He's just 21

11:22And he's got the ball

11:25He's just 21

11:40Carvon will leave the throw to Chris Powell

11:47Darby's season gathering momentum nicely

11:50Through to the fourth round of the League Cup

11:52They host Newcastle here in a couple of weeks

11:55Saturday they have a tough league encounter at Elland Road against Leeds

11:59First there's a game here to be won

12:02And that always takes some doing against Arsenal

12:11Dixon

12:16Gary Rowett's header clear

12:23Arsenal's unbeaten record under threat

12:27Their last away defeat was at Sunderland back in January

12:31Their last defeat anywhere was back on the 3rd of May against Newcastle

12:37But they trail here to Wanczok's goal

12:40And there's Vieira

12:53Sat up nicely enough for him

12:56But he hit across it and off it went

13:12All the way through to David Seaman

13:14Seaman

13:20Six clean sheets in their 12 previous English Premier League games

13:24For Arsenal but not today

13:28A gangling Costa Rican is seen to that

13:44Go!

13:49Sturridge

13:53Daryl Powell

13:57Dean Sturridge again

14:03Kozluk

14:06Dixon's header

14:09Pieces picked up first by Parler and then Dixon

14:15And Arsenal are not creating that much at the moment

14:17That will worry them

14:19Maybe now with Wright

14:24Winterburn

14:27Inside the lunge of Kozluk

14:29Petit

14:30David Platts

14:38That was a little better

14:44Petit

14:46A blow to the head there in the challenge with Kozluk

14:49And Winterburn's lost it

14:51To Baiano

14:55And here's Wanczok

14:56Again!

14:59Should have been two

15:03And that's the infuriating side of Paolo Wanczok

15:06He scores the difficult chances and misses the easier ones

15:14That's clever play by Baiano, the dig to pass

15:20Larsen

15:22Header falls to Inelka

15:28Baiano

15:31Sturridge

15:35It was Adams who sold himself

15:40Winterburn

15:42Winterburn

15:43Oh, what's he done?

15:46He's presented another goal to Paolo Wanczok

15:54Nigel Winterburn, crestfallen

15:59$30,000 are happy enough

16:02Derby 2

16:04Arsenal 0

16:06And Booth

16:08Scored by this Costa Rican import

16:11Who's threatening to take the English Premier League by storm

16:15Saves his best for the big teams

16:17Manchester United have suffered in the past

16:19And today, it's Arsenal's turn

16:38Arsenal knew they were in for a tough task here today

16:41Given Derby's unbeaten home run

16:44Even so, they've contributed

16:47To their own problems

16:50Ian Wright

16:54Back by Carbon

17:01And Arsenal have 20 minutes remaining in which to rescue themselves

17:08Wanczok

17:11It's a determined tackle by Adams

17:18Platt

17:20Parler

17:26Parler goes alone

17:28And he hits the outside of the net via a deflection

17:37Switched it on to his left

17:39And it came off Gary Rowett

17:46Wright

17:48That's a foul

17:49Referee's reached to his pocket

17:53Yellow card for Rowett

18:08Platt

18:10Petit over the ball

18:17Adams

18:19Platt

18:22Technique was impressive

18:26Save was well within reach for Mark Paul, the Estonian

18:31Well worked by Arsenal

18:33Would have gone in

18:38Carrsley's header

18:42Vieira

18:44Offside against Christopher Wright

18:50George Weare's cousin

18:55Flagged

18:56Correctly

19:00That gun's taken some stick today

19:08Parler

19:13Parler

19:15So that's a man who's particularly used to defeat Arsene Wenger

19:24Baiano

19:27Sturridge

19:28And Dixon

19:30Darrell Powell

19:32Darby just won't go away

19:35Chris Powell

19:38Sturridge

19:47They look like a side eager to add to rather than just retain their two goal advantage

20:00Won't go out

20:07Baiano

20:09Nicely to Sturridge

20:12Pass for T

20:13Dean Sturridge

20:153-0

20:24And a player reportedly admired in particular by Arsenal

20:28Has sealed the Gunners fate

20:30At his best

20:31He's one of the best goal scorers around Sturridge

20:33Maybe not as consistent as his manager would like

20:39But today is one of his days

20:45He did very well to chip the goalkeeper

20:47Just waiting for Seaman to go to ground

20:51Eight minutes left

20:52Darby, three up

20:54Sturridge

20:563-0

21:00Couldn't have hoped for anything better than this

21:02The home side

21:05And Arsenal's unbeaten run is about to come to an end

21:07I think it's safe to say that now

21:10Here though is Parler

21:14Dixon

21:16Ray

21:20Beaumont it

21:21Ian Wright

21:23Ray

21:25And finally

21:26Larsen, or is it finally

21:29It should be now

21:30As Carvon clears

21:34Baiano

21:38Wanchopp has made a loping diagonal run

21:42Is Kozluk in support?

21:45Beaumont made the tackle

21:49Matches left

21:50Kozluk, grounded

21:54Got a piece of the ball

21:55But it was a tackle from behind effectively

21:59Baiano

22:02Baiano jogs away

22:05Carsley or Larsen

22:06That's the choice

22:08It is Carsley

22:12Not yet a master of that particular craft

22:18James Smith

22:19In his playing days was a wing-half with Sheffield United

22:24One of the longest serving managers in the game

22:29Here's Wanchopp

22:33Kozluk

22:37And Trollope

22:48Derby haven't enjoyed a margin over Arsenal as wide as this since 1972

22:54And Ryan Clough's team

22:57Beat them 5-0 at the baseball ground

23:02It's a measure of their achievement today because that was a great derby team

23:06And a very good Arsenal one too

23:23Right

23:27All Arsenal can hope for is some cosmetic improvement in the scoreline

23:31Mental to the result

23:33Wanchopp

23:35Pulled back

23:37By Beaumont

23:41Yellow card

23:46He's enjoying himself

23:47Paulo Wanchopp

23:53Petit

23:59Petit

24:10Vieira

24:14Ray

24:16Dragan on the whistle

24:21Dixon

24:24Slip by Adams

24:27But it is Arsenal who

24:29As a whole have slipped up today

24:31Which is in no way to take anything away

24:35From Derby who performed extremely well

24:38Two goals from Paulo Wanchopp

24:40One later on from Dean Sturridge

24:44Jim Smith loves to call his new striker Lambchop

24:48I don't think there's

24:50Any doubt

24:51That he's a hero here now

24:53Derby County 3

24:55Arsenal 0 is the way it's finished

24:59It proved to be a fantastic debut season at Pride Park for the Rams

25:0312 home wins from 19 helped them claim a respectable 9th place finish in the Premier League

25:08It turned out fine for Arsene Wenger's Arsenal too

25:11The Gunners recovered from this defeat to win the Premiership title for the first time

25:16And they went on to claim the double

25:18With an FA Cup victory over Newcastle as well
