Burton Albion v Port Vale report: Burton leave it late in fiery derby
Saturday 24 October 2015 19:48, UK
Late goals from Tom Naylor and Nasser El Khayati gave Burton a 2-0 win over Port Vale in a feisty Staffordshire derby which ended with both teams down to 10 men.
Vale striker Uche Ikpeazu, booked for a 19th minute foul on Robbie Weir, saw red for a dive in the Burton penalty area seven minutes later.
Midfielder Weir was handed a straight red for a reckless challenge on midfielder Sam Foley 10 minutes from time.
Burton had controlled the game from the time of Ikpeazu's dismissal but it took them until five minutes from the end to break the deadlock.
Vale had gone close to taking the lead after just five minutes, central defender Ryan McGivern heading just wide.
