| Nick Barmby heads the winner |
Derby County had enjoyed a relatively lengthy run as Champions with successful defences against Middlesbrough, West Ham United, Coventry City and even Arsenal.
Looking to become Champions for the first time on this day were the Toffee men of Everton.
Forever in their larger, more successful neighbours shadow, it was Everton's time to shine.
They had to wait for their big moment but it eventually came in the 86th minute. Derby failed to clear their lines and Joe Parkinson hit a speculative effort from outside the box that looped up off the crossbar and Nick Barmby was on hand to head it in.
For the first time in a long time, Everton were champions.
