Every day for the foreseeable future, we’ll provide you an image for supporters to enjoy and reminisce.

Hendrick Nets His First-Ever Goal As Derby Secure A Memorable Win At The City Ground

Pictured here is former Derby County midfielder Jeff Hendrick celebrating his first-ever career goal as the Rams defeated local rivals Nottingham Forest 2-1 at the City Ground in September 2011.

The Academy graduate made up for his earlier missed header from two yards by coolly slotting home from outside the area.

Forest's Andy Reid put the home side ahead from the penalty spot after Derby goalkeeper Frank Fielding was dismissed in the opening minutes.

But Jamie Ward's wonderful solo effort before half-time and Hendrick's winner sealed the win for ten-man Derby at the home of their biggest rivals.

Derby finished the 2011/12 season in 12th place in the Sky Bet Championship table.

Hendrick, in total, made 214 appearances for the club after making his professional debut in April 2011, having previously spent two years in the Rams’ Academy as a scholar.

He joined Burnley in 2016 for an undisclosed fee after starring at the 2016 European Championships with the Republic of Ireland.
