Derby County manager Paul Clement has insisted that his side deserved their late 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough.

Johnny Russell scored with two minutes left at Pride Park on Tuesday night to earn the Rams a share of the spoils against Aitor Karanka's men.

Derby remain without a win in the Championship this season, but Clement believes that his players can take plenty of positives from yesterday's clash.

"I think we got our reward in the end," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "The players are a bit deflated in the dressing room as it's our third game and third draw, but there are lots of positives to draw on."

Derby return to action in the Championship on Friday when they make the trip to Birmingham City.
