Mick McCarthy's men took a giant stride towards the Premier League by coming from behind to win at Pride Park.

Having divided Wolves fans for so long, forward Andy Keogh was the hero, scoring a goal in each half.

The visitors went from 2-1 down to secure all three points, further strengthening their grip on top spot.

With Reading, Birmingham and Sheffield United all drawing, Wolves moved six points clear at the top of the Championship.

On seven minutes, Keogh fired home a first-time shot from 20 yards to put Wolves ahead.

The home side threatened through Rob Hulse before Przemyslaw Kazmierczak made it 1-1 with a free-kick on the half hour mark.

Wolves then switched off as Mile Sterjovski put the Rams 2-1 up 10 minutes into the second half.

Sub Marlon Harewood posed a physical threat to the home defence before Matt Jarvis levelled from close range following build up play by Kyel Reid.

With three minutes of normal time remaining, Keogh's diving header from Harewood's assist ensured all three points.

With three games to go, the win puts Wolves's fate in their own hands.
