Derby County's 5‑0 victory over Bristol City at Ashton Gate was the club's biggest away win in the Championship and the first time in a year that manager John Eustace let his face show emotion. The win pushed the Rams into the play‑off zone and underscored the turnaround the 46‑year‑old has engineered since taking charge.
In 48 games, Eustace has recorded 18 wins and 13 draws, and Derby have scored in 21 straight matches – the longest streak in England's top four tiers. He has described his approach as pragmatic, aiming to win with both style and passion, and he says he wants the Rams to keep improving.
