Louie Sibley scores his fifth goal of the season for Derby
Louie Sibley's last-minute winner gave Derby a victory over stubborn Stevenage to boost their automatic promotion hopes.
With top scorer James Collins out with a knee injury, Derby lacked a presence up front, but Sibley finally found a way through in the last minute of normal time.
The victory moved Derby three points clear of third-placed Bolton and six points behind leaders Portsmouth.
It was Stevenage who came closest to scoring in a goalless first half.
Joe Wildsmith missed a corner and Sonny Bradley had to clear off the line in the 31st minute, and Wildsmith then rescued Derby soon after when the hosts failed to deal with a long throw and the goalkeeper stopped Jordan Roberts' shot on the turn.
Derby did not register a shot on goal in the first half and they continued to struggle until Kane Wilson surged forward in the 68th minute and played in Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, but he fired wide.
Max Bird was denied by a superb Taye Ashby-Hammond save in the 77th minute, but Derby struck late on.
Mendez-Laing cut in from the right and set up Sibley who finished first time from 12 yards.
