Derby, Forest draw in Championship derby

Derby were left to rue referee Keith Stroud's decision not to award them a first-half penalty as they were held to a 0-0 draw by rivals Nottingham Forest at Pride Park.

A crowd of over 31,000 witnessed a keenly-contested east midlands derby, which while short of goalmouth action provided plenty of entertainment.

Rams midfielder Tom Lawrence appeared to be fouled in the area by Tendayi Darikwa midway through the first half, but it was the visitors who carved out the clearer chances.

Sky Bet Championship top scorer Lewis Grabban was denied by Scott Carson on the stroke of half-time, while Joe Lolley hit the bar late on to send Derby to fourth, while the visitors remain just outside the top six.
