Half-Time Report: Derby County lead Leicester City

Chris Martin's close-range finish gives Derby Country a one-goal half-time lead against Leicester City in the League Cup.

Derby County lead Leicester City 1-0 at half time in tonight's League Cup encounter, thanks for Chris Martin.

After a fast start from both sides it was Derby who took control of the match, and they eventually took the lead minutes from the break.

The hosts were almost ahead within a minute, but Kieron Freeman was able to clear Tom Hopper's header off the line.

Immediately after that Derby went up the other end and fashioned a couple of chances of their own. First, Paul Coutts's low drive went just wide, before Jake Buxton had a header also cleared off the line.

Derby then had a couple of penalty shouts turned down as Craig Bryson and then Coutts went down in quick succession, but the referee waved away both claims.

Derby finally turned their dominance into a goal three minutes from time, when Chris Martin tapped the ball home after good work from Johnny Russell on the wing.
