Four goals before Derby's Old Trafford shoot-out
Derby drew 2–2 with Manchester United in the Carabao Cup third round on 25 September 2018. Juan Mata scored early for United, Harry Wilson equalised and Jack Marriott put Derby ahead late in the match. Marouane Fellaini then scored in stoppage time to bring United level again.
The match sheet also records United goalkeeper Sergio Romero's dismissal in the 67th minute. The order of events matters: Derby had responded to an early deficit, taken the lead and then lost that advantage before the final whistle. The penalty shoot-out was needed because the score was level at the end of the match.
Derby won the shoot-out 8–7. That was the deciding tally of successful kicks, not the score of the game itself. The 2–2 result and the 8–7 shoot-out both belong in a clear account, because together they explain how the Rams advanced after a drawn match.
Using Derby's own highlights to revisit the win
Derby's official highlights page identifies the match as a third-round Carabao Cup tie and names Wilson and Marriott as the scorers in regular time. It is a useful companion to the match sheet: the sheet supplies the sequence and timings, while the club page provides a route to watching the key moments.
The official page was published after the match. A highlights publication date is therefore not necessarily the day on which the game was played. For this tie, use 25 September 2018 as the match date and Old Trafford as the venue. That keeps it distinct from another Derby–United meeting or a later anniversary post.
A short video title may lead with the shoot-out, but the two Derby goals remain important parts of the story. Start with the full match identity before choosing a clip, then check whether it covers the goals, the penalties or both. For a new Rams tie, return to the current fixture cards above for that game's own kick-off, result and confirmed viewing information.

Who scored Derby's goals before the penalties?
Harry Wilson and Jack Marriott. Derby's official highlights page names both scorers and distinguishes their goals in regular time from the shoot-out that followed.
