Play by play

  1. 94'

    For Derby the glory and the joy is all theirs. It is a horrible way to lose, but an amazing way to win promotion. The promised land of the Premiership lays ahead for Derby. Congratulations to them.

  2. 94'

    The West Brom players are down on their haunches, they played the better game and had the better chances but ahve lost and must begin their assault on the Championship again next season.

  3. 94'

    The ball comes into the box but no-one can connect and the final whistle is blown!

  4. 94'

    Clement wins a corner after his freekick is deflected out. This is the last chance saloon...

  5. 93'

    A spell of pushing and shoving after an Oakley foul - which he got booked for. Is he hobbling in pain or jest?

  6. 92'

    Kiely has the ball for a second before pumping a long-ball forward

  7. 91'

    The freekick for West Brom runs tantilisingly across the face of goal but no-one was there to apply the final touch

  8. 91'

    A booking for Jones for some time wasting to deny Koumas a quick freekick

  9. 90'

    Four minutes of added time are signalled as the tension mounts - the crowd know it's nearly all over, but West Brom must press, there is still time to force extra-time

  10. 89'

    Bywater thumps the ball deep and West Brom feed it back towards the Derby keeper

  11. 89'

    Koumas lumps his ball into the box and Greening heads over. Is that it? The last chance?

  12. 89'

    Tired legs from both sides as Carter is blocked by Pearson - corner

  13. 88'

    Cater with some neat footwork carves a half chance at the back, but Kamara loses his footing and Derby break

  14. 87'

    Three minutes to go: Derby fans are cheering, West Brom supporters have their head in their hands. Is it all over?

  15. 86'

    Johnson is subbed to great applause as David Jones, once of Man Utd, comes on for Derby. Boos from West Brom as they claim time wasting.

  16. 85'

    Perry, holding his tooth in his hand, points at the gap in his smile and asks the ref why he's not booking Howard - he didn't see the incident is the answer to the question

  17. 84'

    Amazing tackle by Mears to deny West Brom a shooting chance - The Baggies cry 'penalty', not so says Poll

  18. 83'

    Barnes is his own worst enemy as he allows Greening to tackle him in the penalty area - but the forward should have pulled the trigger and controled the ball sooner

  19. 83'

    Another throw for Derby in an advanced position - ideal for them; they must hold the ball and stifle West Brom

  20. 82'

    Referee Poll jogs off the pitch with Fagan to ensure the subbed player can't waste too much time - the new Derby player Marc Edworthy

  21. 81'

    Derby have a throw deep in West Brom territory - but West Brom leave three strikers up the other end of the pitch

  22. 80'

    Mowbray makes a final change - off comes Sodje, on comes Neil Clement

  23. 79'

    Signs a moment ago that as West Brom press for a winner they are exposed at the back and with the pace of Barnes they run the risk of conceding a second - but they need to gamble and to get themselves back into the game

  24. 78'

    Leacock puts the ball out for a West Brom corner - Phillips judged to have handballed

  25. 77'

    Barnes takes the ball to the byline but can't pull it back to Howard - the game is really stretched now as West Brom counter
