Derby County came from behind to beat Derby County 1-2 at Pride Park. Matt Oakley put the home side ahead after 27 minutes but Rams striker Steve Howard then saw his penalty saved by Brad Friedel. This miss was decisive as moments later Roque Santa Cruz notched an equaliser before David Bentley fired the winner from 25 yards after 42 minutes.
Dean Windass scored the only goal of the game after 33 minutes as Hull City beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at the KC Stadium. The win lifts Hull into eighth spot in the Championship table, while Wednesday remain third from bottom.

Gretna’s Scottish Premier League clash with St Mirren at Fir Park on January 2 has been postponed following the tragic death of Motherwell’s Phil O’Donnell yesterday. Meanwhile, following a plea from the O’Donnell family, the match between Motherwell and Celtic on January 6 has also been postponed. O’Donnell, 35, died shortly after suffering a suspected seizure during the match against Dundee United on Saturday.
Cagliari have confirmed Davide Ballardini as their new coach.
