Derby County see off FC Utrecht in Netherlands

Derby County see off FC Utrecht

Derby County have concluded their pre-season tour of the Netherlands with a 3-2 win over FC Utrecht.

The hosts took the lead with 14 minutes on the clock when former Derby loanee Nacer Barazite slotted in from close range.

However, the Rams got themselves level on the stroke of half time as Ryan Shotton headed home Tom Ince's corner.

Ince was involved in Derby's second of the game 10 minutes after the restart when another of his corners was nodded in by Johnny Russell.

Paul Clement's side made it 3-1 in spectacular style with 22 minutes left on the clock as Will Hughes's dipping volley from 25 yards beat the goalkeeper.

Utrecht pulled a goal back 10 minutes from time through Barazite's penalty after a foul by Shotton, but the hosts were unable to find an equaliser.
