Bolton Wanderers' Craig Noone celebrated scoring the opening goal with recently retired team-mate Stephen Darby

Bolton's Craig Noone honoured recently retired team-mate Stephen Darby by celebrating his first-half winner against Derby County in the stands with the defender.

Noone beat goalkeeper Scott Carson with an early header across goal before racing to Darby, who was forced to hang up his boots earlier this month after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

Frank Lampard's Derby, who four days earlier knocked Manchester United out of the League Cup, went on to control much of the possession but had to wait until the 88th minute to get a shot on goal.

Goalkeeper Remi Matthews ensured Bolton earned their first win in six games, denying Mason Mount from close range.

In the first game since Darby's enforced retirement, Trotters players paid tribute to their team-mate before kick-off by each walking onto the pitch wearing shirts with the defender's name and number 23 on the back.

And after Noone met Will Buckley's cross to put them ahead with a fine finish at the far post, the winger ensured the occasion was marked with an emotional celebration.

Both sides had chances after the break, with Carson doing well to keep the Rams in it with a fine low save from Will Buckley before Matthews was finally tested late on by Mount.

Bolton's first league win over Derby in 10 attempts moved them up to 14th in the Championship table and to within a point of the Rams in ninth spot.

Bolton assistant manager Steve Parkin:

"It was an outstanding display against an outstanding team.

"I have been to watch Derby a couple of times over the last four weeks and I think Frank's got a fine balance of experience and youth.

"We knew they had some extremely gifted players and we knew we'd have to be at our best and I think we probably were."

Derby boss Frank Lampard:

"We did not show enough creativity. We weren't at it with our passing and we weren't crisp enough to get into the area we normally get into.

"When you concede early against a team that will defend well as they did it makes the afternoon difficult.

"We have come back in games a few times this season, but you can't keep doing that.

"The beauty of the Championship is you do move on quickly, but I am a bit fed up saying that. If we want to be as successful as we want to be we cannot go win some then lose some. We have to get some consistency. That's up to the players."
