West Bromwich Albion 0-1 Derby County: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of West Bromwich Albion 0-1 Derby County in the Championship on Saturday, 13 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, wasn't that a shocker at The Hawthorns? West Brom, coming off a solid run with a win against Stoke and a draw against Portsmouth, were expected to dominate, but Derby had other plans. The Baggies controlled the game, but it was Derby who snatched the win with a late goal from Andreas Weimann. It's a real gut punch for West Brom, who've now seen their unbeaten streak snapped in the most frustrating way possible.

Derby, on the other hand, will be buzzing after this result. They've been struggling, with draws and a heavy loss in their recent matches, but this win against a strong West Brom side could be the turning point they need. Weimann's late strike was the difference, and it's a testament to Derby's resilience and ability to capitalise on their chances. A real David vs. Goliath moment, and Derby came out on top.

The stats paint a picture of a game where West Brom should've walked away with the points, but football's not always about possession and corners. The Baggies had a whopping 67% of the ball and 11 corners to Derby's zero, yet they couldn't find the back of the net. It's a bit baffling, really, but it shows how crucial it is to be clinical in front of goal.

On the flip side, Derby's efficiency was on full display. They managed a higher successful dribble percentage at 63% compared to West Brom's 40%, and that one assist was all they needed to secure the win. It's a classic case of quality over quantity, and Derby made it count when it mattered most.

The game's turning point came in the 84th minute when Andreas Weimann found the back of the net for Derby. It was a moment of brilliance that shifted the momentum and ultimately decided the match. Weimann's goal, assisted by a teammate, was a testament to Derby's ability to stay focused and capitalise on their opportunities.

West Brom had their chances, but the closest they came to a breakthrough was through their substitutions. Samuel Iling, Toby Collyer, and Josh Maja were brought on in the latter stages, but despite their efforts, they couldn't find an equaliser. The yellow card to Callum Styles in the 62nd minute added a bit of tension, but it was Weimann's late strike that sealed the deal for Derby.

West Brom lined up with a strong squad, featuring the likes of Jed Wallace and Mikey Johnston in attack. The 4-2-3-1 formation seemed well-suited to their style, but it was the substitutions that caught the eye. Samuel Iling, Toby Collyer, and Josh Maja were brought on in the final stages in a bid to change the game's outcome, but it wasn't enough.

Despite the loss, there were no standout performances from the starting lineup, which is a bit of a disappointment given their recent form. The Baggies had the possession and the chances, but it was the inability to convert that let them down. A frustrating day at the office for the home side.

Derby's lineup was a mix of experience and youth, with Jacob Widell Zetterström in goal and Andreas Weimann leading the attack. The 3-4-2-1 formation allowed them to stay compact and hit on the counter, which paid off in the end. Weimann's late goal was the highlight, and his impact off the bench was crucial.

The substitutions of Patrick Agyemang and Andreas Weimann in the second half added fresh legs and a different dynamic to Derby's attack. It was Weimann's introduction that ultimately made the difference, showing the importance of having quality options on the bench. A well-executed game plan from Derby, and they'll be delighted with the result.

Jacob Widell Zetterström is Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match, and it's easy to see why. The Derby goalkeeper was a rock at the back, making four crucial saves and keeping a clean sheet. His two clearances and one punch added to his impressive performance, ensuring Derby left with all three points. A standout display from the young keeper.
