A Derby County fan ran on the pitch and threw punches at Nottingham Forest players after the a stoppage-time winner sealed a heated game between the fierce rivals at Saturday lunchtime.

Ben Osborn had just bagged a 92nd-minute winner for Forest, as the visitors came from a goal down to claim an unlikely win against the promotion-chasing Rams.

But tensions boiled over as Forest players approached their support to celebrate after the game - and one fan ran onto the pitch from the Derby County section.

TV cameras, ready to interview goalscorers Ben Osborn and Britt Assombalonga, caught the incident in the background, where stewards and players grappled with the frustrated fan.

The fan, wearing a blue jacket and jeans, clearly throws his arm in the direction of defender Kevin Wilson, before being forced to the ground by the chasing security staff.

Forest's inspired comeback against their fierce rivals looked a long way off after Derby dominated the first-half of the match.

Henri Lansbury headed the ball into his own net from Johnny Russell's corner to give the Rams the lead at the iPro Stadium.

But an inspired second half performance from Stuart Pearce's men saw Assombalonga scramble home an equaliser with 12 minutes left to play.

And as the game entered stoppage time, Osborn charged into the Derby penalty area and smashed home at the near post, securing a first win in nine matches for under-pressure Forest.

The result leaves Forest in 11th place in the Championship table, seven points off the play-offs, before the 3pm kick-offs.

Derby remain in second with leaders Bournemouth travelling to Rotherham later in the day.
