AN own goal from Henri Lansbury has given Derby County a 1-0 half-time lead over arch rivals Nottingham Forest.
Lansbury inadvertently headed in Johnny Russell's corner after 16 minutes of Saturday's Championship clash at the iPro Stadium.
Forest had an early penalty shout turned down after Jake Buxton tangled with Britt Assombalonga in the box.
After eight minutes, Omar Mascarell - in for the suspended (and injured) John Eustace - blasted over from 25 yards.
Antonio tested Lee Grant with a low drive in the 10th minute and then fired over after spinning past Richard Keogh shortly afterwards.
At the other end, Kelvin Wilson make an important block to keep out Craig Bryson's effort.
Derby took the lead when Russell's inswinging corner from the right went over a few heads and the unsighted Lansbury could only watch on in horror as the ball flew in off his head at the near post.
The Rams attempted to turn the screw and Jamie Ward - making his first league start since October - saw his 30-yard screamer tipped over by keeper Dorus De Vries.
Jack Hobbs fires a half-volley wide from 20 yards but the hosts looked largely in control.
And they almost went two up in the 43rd minute but Will Hughes' left-foot shot from 25 yards flashed inches wide.
Forest finished the half well and Buxton had to make a vital clearance as Antonio's low centre headed for Assombalonga.
In added time, Assombalonga managed to get the better of Buxton but his 25-yard toe-poke just cleared the bar.
