Derby were hit with an outbreak of Covid-19 and the entire first team along with Wayne Rooney are currently self isolating meaning they had to send a selection youth players to Chorley. This wasn’t going to stop Chorley from trying their best to progress further in the FA Cup and this gave Jamie Vermiglio’s side a chance to shine in front of television cameras with many outlets broadcasting the game.
Living the dream 😍

Chorley went 1-0 in the 10th minute after some sloppy defending from the young Derby side with the players unable to clear the ball from a corner and it bounced from head to head before going into the back of the Derby net with Chorley’s Connor Hall getting the credit.
The two sides then went into half time with the score at 1-0 to the home side and I’m sure the Derby management had some stern words for the youngsters.
In the second half Chorley dominated the game statistically according to LiveScore, the non-league side had 59% possession at the end of the game with 16 attempts on goal and Derby only managing 1 attempt in the full 90 minutes. This powerful display worked out for them with Chorley able to bag a second goal in the dying minutes as Mike Calveley bagged the winner and secured progression into the next.
