A rare thunderous 20 yard strike from Joe Ledley saw Derby on their way to a 2-0 win over Ipswich. Tom Lawrence has been on dead balls for The Rams this season and saw another of his free kicks hit the back of the net for the second goal, helped by some poor goalkeeping from Bartosz Białkowski.
The Welsh Stoke boys, Ashley Williams and Joe Allen had a torrid time against Wigan at the bet365 Stadium. Williams was sent off in the 78th minute for a second bookable offence, while Allen conceded the penalty that made it 0-3 to Wigan. Lee Evans was happy to be on the winning side; his second spell at the club has been nothing but positive and he’ll be utilised by Giggs in upcoming matches if his performances stay at this level.
James Chester and Chris Mepham played 90 minutes against each other on Wednesday night but neither were able to keep a clean sheet in a match that finished 2-2 at Villa Park.
