What happened. Derby secured their first win of the season with a 2-0 victory at Portsmouth, with goals from Sammie Szmodics and Lars-Jorgen Salvesen.

• Portsmouth had 64% possession and 19 shots but only one on target.
• Szmodics scored in the 16th minute after a run from Bobby Clark.
• Salvesen scored with almost his first touch after coming on as a substitute.

Derby climb off the bottom, while Portsmouth have lost both home games and look toothless in attack.
