Overview
- Swansea beat Derby 3-0 at Pride Park on Saturday, with goals from Joseph Opoku, Eom Ji-sung and Ronald.
- Opoku opened the scoring in the second minute after Eom's run and pull-back produced a deflected finish that wrong-footed Derby keeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom.
- Eom added a second just before half-time by following up a saved header to score from close range, and Ronald sealed the win with a long-range strike in stoppage time.
- Zetterstrom produced a string of important saves after the break that limited the damage, but Derby were booed off and remain without a win amid injuries and reported transfer uncertainty, including Carlton Morris sidelined with a soft-tissue injury and Ben Brereton-Diaz not returning to Pride Park.
- The result leaves Swansea unbeaten in the early Championship campaign with a strong start reported as seven points from nine and piles pressure on John Eustace and Derby to find goals and reinforcements.
