Notes

  • - Liverpool were awarded the penalty before the first goal when Allan was fouled. Jack Robinson saved Allan's penalty.
    - Description of Derby's own goal in the Daily Post: "Methven gave the home side a free kick. This was entrusted to McCartney who sent in the leather strongly, Methven having the ill-fortune to assist it into the net twenty-five minutes from the start."
