Ben Gibson’s late header secured a dramatic 2-1 victory for Stoke City over Derby County in a captivating Championship encounter. Tom Cannon opened the scoring for the Potters with a penalty before Derby equalized in bizarre fashion when Gibson’s header beat his own goalkeeper. The captain, however, redeemed himself with a decisive goal in the 82nd minute, giving Stoke their second league win under Narcis Pelach.
