David Ozoh's first goal of the season secured a 1-0 victory for Derby over Norwich, piling pressure on manager Liam Manning. Ozoh, on loan from Crystal Palace, scored early in the second half, delivering Derby's first home win of the season. This defeat pushed Norwich into the Championship relegation zone.

Despite Norwich's complete dominance in the first half, they failed to capitalize on their numerous chances. Oscar Schwartau came close to scoring in the third minute, but Derby's goalkeeper, Jacob Widell Zetterström, saved his shot, as well as a follow-up attempt from Kenny McLean. Norwich continued to create threats but couldn't convert them into goals. Derby also had their moments, but the first half ended goalless, leaving the home fans frustrated.

After the break, Derby regrouped, and in the 55th minute, Ozoh broke the deadlock with an assist from Patrick Agyemang. This transformed Derby's game, and they continued to create opportunities. Norwich, however, did not relent and kept pressing, with Ante Krzanac hitting the post in the 78th minute. Despite their efforts, Derby managed to hold onto their lead and secure an important victory.

Analysis: Despite Norwich's dominance in the first half, Derby showed resilience and managed to make the most of their opportunities. This win could provide the team with the momentum needed for a better performance throughout the season, while Norwich must find a way to improve their efficiency in front of goal.
