# Our man of the match: Derby (A)

Norwich City held Derby to a 1-1 draw on Wednesday night as they extended their unbeaten run to eight games in all competitions.

Timm Klose opened the scoring in the second-half as he powered in an Emi Buendia corner to make it 1-0.

Derby leveled the scores late on as Craig Bryson saw the ball cannon off his knee and fly into the bottom corner.

Picking a man of the match has been difficult, with a number of Norwich players impressing on the night.

Emi Buendia, Timm Klose, Christoph Zimmermann and Moritz Leitner were all in contention.

However, our Norwich man of the match against Derby is… Tim Krul!

The Dutch goalkeeper picks up his first man of the match award for Norwich after a superb performance against Derby.

He made three or four exceptional saves, including one world-class stop to deny Mason Mount from six-yards out.

His distrubution of the ball was good and he could have done nothing to prevent the Derby equaliser.
