Decisive figure drives Derby's ruthless away display

Bobby Clark created the second in the 16th minute and later struck himself, as Derby County won 5-0 at Bristol City.

His early pass split City and set up a clinical finish for a two-goal cushion (16.). The Rams' playmaker kept finding pockets between the lines and demanding the ball.

He then arrived in the box to sweep home from a fast break (36.), timing his run perfectly after Ben Brereton Díaz released him. From there, Derby controlled the key moments.

Clark finished with two attempts, one on target, three key passes and five touches in the box, underlining how he knitted attacks for the Rams and repeatedly pulled The Robins out of shape.

Because Derby broke quickly and found him facing forward, his movement kept City's back line off balance and ensured the visitors dictated territory when it mattered.

Derby rise from 11th to sixth and host Ipswich next. City drop from seventh to ninth and visit Hull next.
