Derby County: Fans rage at referee decision versus Stoke City

A lot of Derby County fans have been left raging at a decision made by the referee midway through the second half of their game versus Stoke City in the EFL Championship.

As per a tweet from the Pride Park faithful, Kamil Jozwiak nutmegged one of the Potters players on the right-hand side of the pitch, before delivering a fine ball from the by-line for Lee Buchanan, who then subsequently went to ground.

The ref decided to blow his whistle for a drop ball, which left several Rams questioning as to how exactly he got to his decision.

With the game tightly poised at 0-0 at that point, Wayne Rooney’s team would surely have been wondering as to whether they were going to get any luck, given that they started the clash in the relegation zone.
