Lewis Wing scored twice in the second half as Wycombe secured a thrilling 3-2 win to end Derby’s 15-game unbeaten run in League One.

A Sam Vokes volley in the 10th minute opened the scoring before a close-range reply from James Collins leveled the visitors’ level.

Wings double in the second half gave Wycombe a two-goal lead and although a late Lewis Dobbin goal threatened another twist, the chairboys held on to their fifth home win of six.

Some 1,800 Derby supporters made the journey to their side’s first meeting at Adams Park with fans but saw the home side take an early lead.

A counterattack ended at the feet of Brandon Hanlan, whose deflected shot went up in the air while Vokes put the ball in with a side foot.

In the second half, the Rams equalized through Collins, who netted a David McGoldrick cross before a late barrage of goals.

Evenly balanced for 10 minutes, Wing’s shot deflected into the net from a corner before substitute Tjay De Barr set the former Middlesbrough midfielder up for his second four minutes from time.

Derby had five minutes of added time after Dobbin’s finish brought that to one, but Wycombe stuck to the maximum score.
