Manny Machado Jersey . - Defensive end-linebacker Mike Neal apparently is returning to the Packers.Hull City scraped through to the Championship play-off final with a 3-2 aggregate win over Derby County. No team in the history of the play-offs had ever overcome a three-goal first-leg deficit but Derby came close, winning the game 2-0 courtesy of a Johnny Russell strike and Andrew Robertson own-goal in the first half.Derby had 55 minutes to force extra time but the hosts regrouped and saw the game out, booking a Wembley date with Sheffield Wednesday on May 28. Sky Sports Football League analyst Ian Holloway questioned Derbys character after their lacklustre performance in the first leg, which Hull won 3-0 at the iPro Stadium. Derby Countys Johnny Russell celebrates with Craig Bryson Derby head coach Darren Wassall admitted in his pre-match briefing that he had used Holloways words to motivate himself and his players. Whatever he said, it worked a charm as Derby came out with a high intensity that was missing in the first leg. An early goal was crucial if they were serious about mustering a comeback and they got one on nine minutes. Steve Bruce felt Hull didn’t play well but showed resilience in defending for an hour Cyrus Christie burst down the right flank and crossed for Chris Martin, whose attempt was blocked but Russell was ready and waiting to follow up.Will Hughes was running the show from midfield for the visitors and his ball sent Martin towards goal on 27 minutes. Martin was hauled down on the edge of the box but Jeff Hendricks effort was blocked away.It was one-way traffic towards the Hull goal and Derby doubled their lead on 36 minutes.

Darren Wassall was so proud of his players after winning 2-0 on the night With Derby just needing one goal to force extra time, Hull played as though they didnt know whether to stick or twist. Mo Diame fired wide on 57 minutes but they lacked a real outlet in the final third as Derby continued to boss the game. Martin stung the gloves of Eldin Jakupovic on 70 minutes before substitute Tom Ince fired over from long range.Derbys early exertions started to take their toll as the game ticked down and Hull gained control of proceedings. Michael Dawson and Curtis Davis share their relief after holding out The home crowd grew in confidence with their team and although Derby threw everything at Hull in the closing stages, including goalkeeper-turned-striker Scott Carson, the Tigers saw the game through. The KC Stadium breathed a collective sign of relief. ' ' '
