A Lee Bowyer double, an own goal by Eddie Lewis and strikes from Matt Etherington and Nolberto Solano gave West Ham a victory that lifts them into the top half of the double and was their best Premiership win in seven years. Despite the return from injury of Scotland striker Kenny Miller, Derby had failed to muster a single attempt on target by the time Bowyer gave the visitors the lead, four minutes before half-time. The excellent Solano was the architect, his precise delivery from wide allowing Carlton Cole to knock down for the midfielder, who fired a low shot through the legs of goalkeeper Stephen Bywater. The Hammers' came out after the break looking like they were determined to wrap things up as soon as possible and after Luis Boa Morte had sent one good chance straight at the goalkeeper and Matthew Upson had hit the bar, that is just what they did. Matt Etherington combined with Bowyer before firing home six minutes into the half and any hope of a Derby fightback was extinguished minutes later when Eddie Lewis scored an unlucky own goal following a shot from his fellow American Jonathan Spector. Lewis looked to have blocked the strike but fell over and inadvertently deflected the ball over the line. To their credit, Derby did attempt to push forward and get back into the match. But, almost inevitably, they were picked off on the counter-attack. Solano was once more instrumental with an astute ball out of the defence that sent Carlton Cole clear in a wide position. The former Chelsea striker's cross was as perfectly judged as Bowyer's run and the midfielder finished confidently. The icing on the cake for the visiting supporters came with just over 20 minutes left, when Solano capped his outstanding display with a free-kick that Bywater never had any chance of stopping on its way to the top corner of the net. | ||||||

From being 1-0 up at half-time through a Lee Bowyer goal, the game was over within nine minutes of the restart as Matthew Etherington, Jonathan Spector and Bowyer's second made it 4-0. Nolberto Solano completed the rout with a stunning free-kick. George McCartney was forced off before the quarter-hour mark with an ankle problem, while Bowyer was playing with a groin injury and Curbishley revealed he will have an operation on Tuesday. "Fantastic result for us," said Curbishley. "Lee Bowyer's got to have something done. He was playing with a groin strain. He's got to have an operation on Tuesday. "We're hopeful Georgie isn't as bad as we think. He added: "It's the way it's been for the last month or two. "Everyone's been going on about the injuries, it's there, everyone can see it. "But it's a little disrespectful to the players who have been playing. They have been picking points up." Of the game, he said: "I think, today, the first goal was always going to be the vital one and we managed to get it. "That really settled us down and put Derby on the back foot. "It's very difficult when you're down the bottom there and you go one down. "We had opportunities in the first half, perhaps to get the second, and it didn't happen. "We sat down at half-time and said if we go out and set about this right and we get another one, then we can enjoy it. And that's what happened." |

Despite insisting he still believes Derby can avoid the drop and that he is the man to help them do so, Davies pulled no punches in his assessment of his side's display. From being 1-0 down at half-time to a Lee Bowyer goal, the game was over within nine minutes of the restart as Matthew Etherington, Jonathan Spector and Bowyer's second made it 4-0. Nolberto Solano completed the rout with a stunning free-kick. "A crazy 10-15 minutes cost us dearly and at the end it was men against boys," Davies said. The Rams boss refused to make an excuses for his side, who were without a number of key players through injury. "That is not an excuse. The excuse is that in the first 20 minutes we had opportunities to take the lead," he said. "We still had enough quality on that pitch to pick up points but it wasn't to be." Davies was unhappy with his side's response to going behind, saying: "They let their heads go down too easily, they stopped competing. "The confidence drained out of us, the belief drained out of us. "That's a disappointment." Of the international break, he said: "There's a fortnight now to do what we can. "I have lost no belief, I have lost no confidence. "I know exactly where we are and what we have to do." |

"They all know the next transfer window is going to be very important to us," Davies said. "We had to play a 35-year-old centre-back in Marc Edworthy today." |
