Players clash, fan kicked out, and chants condemned after Derby beat Sheffield Wednesday

Players clash, a fan got kicked out, and a number of chants were condemned after Derby beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-0.

Tensions boiled over as players from both sides got in a off the ball incident during the Championship fixture on Monday night. There was also some trouble in the stands, as can be seen in the videos below.

The Rams ended a three-game winless run with a comfortable victory over a struggling Sheffield Wednesday side, Patrick Agyemang netting twice and Liam Thompson also getting on the scoresheet.

The win sees Derby climb up to 12th in the table, now four points off the playoff places, while Sheffield Wednesday still remain without a home league win this season, extended to 14 matches.

Derby’s John Eustace, per Sky Sports:

“The game could have probably been out of sight really, with the amount of chances we had, and if the turnover or final pass or the finish was better.

“That would have been great, but in the second half I felt we controlled it a lot more.

“When we did get those opportunities, at least we were finishing the actions and getting corners and shots on target. So to win 3-0 is really pleasing.”

Eustace told BBC Radio Derby:

“I thought it was a great result, it was a really difficult game. Against Watford last week they were excellent so it’s really pleasing to come here and get the result.

“First half, we got into some fantastic positions on turnover and it was disappointing that we weren’t clinical enough.

“Really the game should have been out of sight first half but it was great to come out, get the two goals and we controlled the game in the second half.”

Sheffield Wednesday’s Henrik Pedersen said, per Sky Sports:

“After the second goal you could see on the players, it was difficult for them. It was the belief that was lost.

“So a difficult evening where we didn’t reach the same level as we have done in the last three or four games.

“We delivered a fantastic, physical game (last week) against a very, very strong running (Watford) team, a dynamic team and today we didn’t reach the same physical level.

“And this is a base to make a top performance in the Championship and today we missed something to be able to do this.”

Pedersen told BBC Radio Sheffield:

“We started well, were more dominant on the ball, but we have spoken about playing direct and if they are more physical, then try to challenge them on the ground.

“But we played two much on the front side and not enough in behind. The few times we did get in behind we started to become more dangerous.

Social media users reacted after seeing players clash, a fan kicked out, and chants condemned after Derby beat Sheffield Wednesday…

@AndyMason-p8q: Derby fan who is ashamed and disgusted by that mindless chanting!! From a club who knows 100% what Sheff Wed are going through I would have hoped for something better! Sadly idiots at every club!!

@ianlane4242: As a Rams Fan, I cannot believe how some of our Fans reacted. They seem to have forgotten that we went through the same nightmare. I am definately behind the Owls and I hope you get the Owner you deserve. Great History and great Fans. All the best from an embarrassed Rams Fan. 😮

@macman975: As a Gooner looking from the outside in. You shouldn’t be having a go at each other, both clubs should be looking at their owners! 2 of the biggest Clubs in England, fanbase and historically, you mans should be Premier League.

@davlinful: Pathetic behaviour from grown men..

@BozifMakesKits: For what it’s worth, as a Derby fan, I thought it was pretty shitty of us to sing “we’re all having a party when Sheffield Wednesday dies”. However, it was ALSO shitty for them to have sung it at us a few years back. What goes around comes around, I suppose. If they weren’t expecting this, they shouldn’t have done it at ours…

@dazwood3771: Were having a party when Sheffield Wednesday die…. WTF! K’in Sad.

@andy-incognito: As a ram I’m ashamed to hear them chants tonight. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Best of luck in the future Sheffield Wednesday.

@peteowen3539: Disgusting from our fans singing that. Show some class. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

@Dominic__96: Should have been 6/7 but a controlled, comfortable performance against an awful team in a bad way. #swfc will be back, but some of their fans seem to have short memories and aren’t finding the jokes funny the other way round. We heard the chants and we remembered #dcfc

@JK_dcfc: Sheffield Wednesday fans by far the easiest fanbase to wind up 😂😂😂

@Jacob97106277: Not really, you lot got so wind up by a few of our fans chanting about derby county dying that you held the grudge all that time just to chant it back at us all these years later😂

@o_dcfc: Saw someone get angry that we were celebrating the 2nd goal 😂😂
