Wayne Rooney captained Derby County on debut and set up the first goal in their 2-1 win over Championship strugglers Barnsley.
Rooney was making his first appearance for Derby since joining from DC United.
In what proved to be his first match since October, the former England captain played all 90 minutes in midfield for Phillip Cocu’s side.
Rooney assisted the opener when Jack Marriot met his cross moments before half-time.
