Championship round-up: Patrick Bamford sends Leeds United back second and Bolton pick up vital win against Millwall
Sheffield United and Preston North End both won in the early kick-offs in the Championship against Rotherham United and Blackburn Rovers respectively.Here’s how the other teams got on in Saturday’s fixtures:
5Patrick Bamford scores for LeedsBolton Wanderers 2-1 MillwallBolton boosted their survival hopes with a 2-1 home win over fellow strugglers Millwall.Pawel Olkowski broke the deadlock after 48 minutes and the Trotters doubled their advantage through Gary O’Neil on the hour mark.Wanderers are now five points adrift of safety, while Millwall – who grabbed a late consolation through Lee Gregory – are just a point above the drop zone.
5Gary O’Neill scored Bolton’s secondBristol City 0-1 Leeds UnitedPatrick Bamford’s early goal proved enough for Leeds to boost their hopes of automatic promotion from the Championship with a 1-0 win at Bristol City.The visitors took a ninth minute lead when Ezgjan Alioski’s long crossfield pass from the left was headed across goal by former City defender Luke Ayling for Bamford to slide in and score from close range.It set up a deserved success for Marcelo Bielsa’s team, who only came under concerted pressure in the closing stages, although not without concern as Bamford left the field with a suspected knee injury midway through the second half.
Derby County 1-1 Sheffield WednesdayDerby moved into the play-offs – at the expense of Bristol City – despite being held to a 1-1 draw at home to Sheffield Wednesday.Bradley Johnson’s 10th-minute header put the Rams into the lead but Dominic Iorfa equalised after 57 minutes for mid-table Wednesday.
Middlesbrough 1-2 BrentfordBrentford fought back to beat promotion-chasing Middlesbrough 2-1 at the Riverside Stadium.Ashley Fletcher had put Boro in front after six minutes but a Ryan Shotton own goal and Said Benrahma’s 73rd-minute winner kept the hosts in fifth place.
5Said Benrahma scored for BrentfordNottingham Forest 3-0 Hull CityForest beat Hull 3-0 at the City Ground courtesy of second-half goals from Joao Carvalho, Karim Ansarifard and a Joe Lolley penalty.Carvalho’s stunning 72nd-minute strike gave the hosts a crucial lead in a game that had been drifting aimlessly towards a goalless draw.Fellow substitute Ansarifard then put the match beyond Hull’s reach with a crisp follow-up just four minutes later.And a home win was confirmed after 82 minutes when Lolley scored from the penalty spot.
5Joe Lolley scored Forest’s thirdQueens Park Rangers 0-0 Stoke CityStoke battled to a 0-0 draw at QPR despite playing most of the match with 10 men after Sam Clucas’ early sending-off.Struggling Rangers, who themselves ended the game with 10 men after Grant Hall was sent off for a second booking with three minutes remaining, were poor throughout.Clucas ludicrously got himself dismissed after just eight minutes for stamping on Josh Scowen in full view of referee Gavin Ward.
Reading 3-2 Wigan AthleticReading rescued a stunning 3-2 victory against fellow strugglers Wigan at the Madejski Stadium.Nick Powell put the Latics in front in the 20th minute but John Swift levelled the scores in first-half added time.Joe Garner’s second-half effort looked to have won it for Wigan before late goals from Modou Barrow and Yakou Meite turned the game on its head.
5Yakou Meite scored a last-minute winner for ReadingWest Brom 1-1 Ipswich TownWest Brom’s slim hopes of breaking into the automatic promotion places took a blow as they drew 1-1 with bottom side Ipswich.Stefan Johansen’s deflected goal after four minutes seemingly set the Baggies on their way but Jon Nolan headed home an equaliser for the Tractor Boys just after half-time.
