Derby County’s Under 18s returned to winning ways on the grand stage after running out as 3-0 winners over Stoke City at Pride Park Stadium.

In a game which Derby dominated for large spells, Adam Davie opened the scoring on 11 minutes, converting an inch-perfect freekick delivery in dramatic style with a diving close-range head.Davie then added to his tally from the penalty spot just before the break, sending the ‘keeper in the wrong direction on 37 minutes.After that, there were no further goals to report up until the 91st minute when Morgan Whittaker, who recently returned from England Under 16s duty, netted Derby’s third and final goal of the game.The substitute, who was riding on the back of the success of scoring a hat-trick against China whilst on national duty, burst into the box after capitalising on a defensive error and lashed an effort into Mitchell Allen’s near corner.Just one game now remains of the Under 18s’ 2016/17 campaign.They travel to take on Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday 13th May at the Training Centre in partnership with the University of Derby.Yates (C), Bogle, Trialist, Mills, Rashid, Carter-Thompson, Trialist, Trialist, Davie, L.
