New Derby boss Nigel Clough watched his side from the stands as they managed a euphoric Semi-final victory against Premier League champions Manchester United.
Kris Commons from early on in the first half looked impressive with a real cultured foot - one for the future perhaps spectators possibly thinking...with an expectation of an onslaught from the Red Devils.
However, after 29 minutes it was Commons that scored an absolutely fantastic goal from 25 yards leaving Man Utd 'keeper Tomasz Kuszczak routed to the spot. Make sure you see this one people.
In the second half, Manchester United were wasteful in possession and Derby managed to put together some good passing moves and threaten the Manchester United goal.
After all of the recent negative publicity with Paul Jewell's exit, this was a fantastic night for all Rams fans.
