Derby County forward Jack Marriott now has four goals in five games for Frank Lampard’s side.
Derby were beaten 3-2 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge yesterday, but their performance still earned them plenty of plaudits.
Frank Lampard’s side caused plenty of problems, and Marriott’s display up front was one of the key reasons behind them troubling Chelsea.
Marriott’s pace gave Chelsea’s defenders a torrid time, with his constant energy making him a real threat.
The former Peterborough man scored Derby’s first goal of the night, with a well struck left-footed finish.
And Redknapp was really impressed by the new Derby front man, who is starting to make a name for himself now.
Redknapp said: “He’s been a really good signing. He came unfit, and not at the level that you’d want him to be. But since he’s broke into the team he’s been excellent. I’m very impressed with him.”
Marriott now has four goals in his last five games for Derby, and he looks to have been money well spent.
Derby are next in action at the weekend, when they take on in-form Birmingham City.
