West Brom player ratings: Defenders star in 10-man Derby win

The fact he didn’t have a serious shot to save all night said everything about Albion’s defensive effort. Escaped calamity at the finish.

Relief 6

BRAYANN PEREIRA

Things can only get better. Actually started the match well but can have no excuses with his dismissal.

Daft 4

NAT PHILLIPS

An excellent performance summed up at the finish when he got a vital touch to prevent Derby levelling with the last kick. Always in the right place.

Vital 8

GEORGE CAMPBELL

Won countless headers and was always there to make the tackle when needed. A real captain’s performance.

Headers 8

CALLUM STYLES

Had a big hand in the goal and then in the defensive effort after being switched across the pitch to right-back. Summed up Albion’s attitude.

Versatile 8

HARRY WHITWELL

Booked before Pereira and was then taken off as the Baggies reorganised. Didn’t have much chance to get into the game.

Quiet 5

OUSMANE DIAKITE

At times you had to check there was only one of him on the pitch. Always seemed to be there when the Baggies needed him.

Huge 8

JAYSON MOLUMBY

In the thick of it throughout and summed up Albion’s performance with his tenacity. Never stopped working.

Defiant 7

ISAAC PRICE

Dug deep like the rest of his team-mates. Switched over to the right-hand side after the sending-off to help with the defensive effort.

Determined 7

JIMMY JAY-MORGAN

Set up the goal and was then tasked with leading the line in the second half. Showed superb physicality to ensure it was not all one-way traffic.

Physical 7

AUNE HEGGEBO

Scored for the first time since returning from his controversial suspension and sent another header over the bar.

Goal 7
