DERBY COUNTY SCORED three goals in the final 10 minutes to stage a late comeback against Brentford in the Championship this afternoon.

After Dubliner Alan Judge had taken his tally to 13 goals this season with a 20-yard drive for the Bees, Ireland’s Jeff Hendrick equalised and international team-mate Cyrus Christie added a second with a rare strike, his first for the club, six minutes from time.

Chris Martin wrapped up their 3-1 win in injury-time.
