Villa then turned the screw late on, with Agbonlahor adding the fifth in the 76th minute, running onto a long ball over the top before sliding it past Carroll and in off his right-hand post.
The mauling was duly completed in the 85th minute with Harewood, on as a substitute for Carew 15 minutes earlier, scoring his sixth goal of the season in front a half-empty stadium.
Appreciably, the Rams fans had little to cheer, other than a Moore header inches over the bar towards the end of the first half and a first-time effort from Rob Earnshaw that forced Scott Carson into his only meaningful save with the score at 5-0.
At one point in the second period they staged a Mexican wave such was their bid to put on a brave face, but come the final whistle there were barely enough fans remaining to muster a meaningful chorus of boos.
