Nicklas Bendtner put Derby in the lead after just 33 minutes when he scored an own goal.

Tom Ince doubled the home team’s advantage 10 minutes into the second half, and Will Hughes wrapped up the scoring with the third in the 64th minute.

Former Derby defender Johnson was following the match, and he was impressed with the performance of Steve McClaren’s side.

The 43-year-old former Jamaica international has also predicted the Rams to finish the year in the top six of the Championship table.

Derby are fifth in the Championship table at the moment with 32 points from 20 matches and are very much in contention of ending up in the playoffs this season.
