Derby County celebrated like they had just won the cup after notching up their first league win in 37 games. Rob Hulse grabbed the vital goal against his former club to send Pride Park wild. Derby held on for a nail-baiting last quarter to secure a morale-boosting win which lifted them off the foot of the Championship table. The Rams produced their best performance of the season so far to ease the pressure on under-fire boss Paul Jewell and thoroughly deserved the points. They took the lead on 24 minutes when Paul Green headed home a Kris Commons left-wing cross. Within two minutes, the Blades were back on terms as Darius Henderson rose unmarked at the far post to head home Greg Halford's right-wing cross. Derby thought that they should have had a penalty on 55 minutes when Hulse was brought down in front of referee Chris Foy. The official seemed to give the spot-kick only to change his mind after consulting his assistant. The disappointment for Derby was forgotten when Hulse rifled home his 70th minute winner by converting Nacer Barazite's right-wing cross.
