Derby County delivered a stunning upset with a remarkable 3-0 victory over Bristol City in the Championship clash this weekend at Pride Park.

Coming off a lackluster display in the midweek Carabao Cup fixture against Barrow, the Rams showcased a strong response as they faced an unbeaten Bristol City side at home. The victory marked a significant turnaround for Derby County, especially following the acquisitions of Nat Phillips and Marcus Harness on deadline day, both arriving on loan from Liverpool and Ipswich Town respectively.

Kenzo Goudmijn opened the scoring for Derby County, netting his first goal for the club before Kayden Jackson extended their lead with his fourth goal of the season. David Ozoh added a third goal, his first for the Rams, to seal an emphatic victory over Bristol City.

The standout performer of the match was goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom, who made his home debut following his move from Djurgarden in the Swedish Allsvenskan. Zetterstrom impressed with five saves, a successful tackle, and a composed display in possession, earning praise from Derby County fans on social media.

The positive start to the season, with two wins from the first four Championship games, has lifted spirits among Derby supporters. With new signings integrating well and standout performances from players like Zetterstrom and Jackson, there is optimism surrounding the team. However, as the grueling Championship campaign unfolds, Derby County will face challenges, relying on their current squad until the January transfer window.

Zetterstrom’s performance not only highlights his individual quality but also underscores Derby County’s potential in scouting and recruiting talented players from abroad. The goalkeeper’s impact serves as a testament to the club’s recruitment strategy, offering hope for sustained success in the future.
