Accrington 0-1 Derby – FA Cup as it happened
Martyn Waghorn broke Accrington hearts as Frank Lampard saw his Derby side sneak through a tricky FA Cup fourth-round assignment.
Having dispatched of Southampton in the previous round and Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, the Championship play-off hopefuls were looking to avoid being on the wrong end of an upset in front of a record-breaking Wham Stadium crowd.
"We spy a giant killing" read the banner unfurled by Stanley fans before kick-off - a cheeky nod to the recent controversy involving Leeds - but Dan Barlaser's second-half sending off eventually told as Waghorn secured a late 1-0 win.

The second half was not without drama though, with a red card for both sides. Dan Barlaser was sent off with half an hour to go before Bogle was given his marching orders.
However, the defining moment came twelve minutes from time with Martyn Waghorn prodding home.
Martyn Waghorn and David Nugent have been speaking to BT Sport as Frank Lampard gets the away end at the Crown Ground boucning.
Nugent said: "It was hard. Waghorn has been in great form and it was a great win."
Waghorn said: "We were at 70-75% in the first half, but coming to a ground like this it was only going to be difficult, so we are just happy to get the win."
