Peterborough United stay second in League One despite a last-gasp win for promotion rivals.
The Rams needed to beat out-of-form Burton Albion by two goals at Pride Park to overtake Posh, but they needed an injury time goal to sneak a 3-2 win in a game of very little quality.
Derby were 2-0 up early in the second-half before Burton came roaring back to equalise. Posh are above Derby on goals scored (52-50) and there is now just two points separating the top four.
