Derby County beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 last week.

Garry Rowett, Manager of Derby County looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Brentford and Derby County at Griffin Park on April 14, 2017 in Brentford, England.

Derby County fans on Twitter are mocking Sheffield Wednesday.

Derby beat Wednesday 2-0 earlier this month, but have yet more reason to poke fun at their Championship rivals after the weekend.

Gary Rowett’s side climbed to seventh courtesy of their 2-1 win at Norwich City, which arrived via Sam Winnall’s winner.

The Rams signed Winnall on loan from Wednesday late on transfer deadline day, and sent unwanted midfielder Jacob Butterfield in the opposite direction.

Like Winnall, Butterfield came off the bench for his temporary employers on Saturday, only for the Owls to moments later surrender a 1-0 lead against Barnsley.

And several Derby fans are keen to rub Wednesday’s noses in it. Here’s what they’ve been saying:

Winnall has now scored twice and created an assist in six Derby outings, but unlike with Butterfield, there is no clause in the striker’s contract which allows the Rams to sign him outright.

The 26-year-old moved to Wednesday from local rivals Barnsley in January and signed a contract until 2020 at Hillsborough.
