Derby eased the building pressure on boss John Eustace as they hit back to beat Bolton 2-1 at Pride Park, securing just their second win of the season and first home victory in 11 games. Bolton dominated the first half and led through Ruben Rodrigues just before the break.
The change was rapid after the restart. Ryan Nyambe poked in his first ever career goal — in his 309th appearance — within 60 seconds, and Jack Robinson quickly netted to complete the turnaround. Rhian Brewster then thumped in a late third in stoppage time to seal a badly-needed win.
John Eustace praised his side's character and the impact of debutants Shane Duffy and Robinson, urging the team not to get carried away. Bolton manager Steven Schumacher rued a five-minute lapse after half-time, admitting his side should have been further ahead.
The victory leaves Derby four points adrift of safety heading into the international break.
