Championship round-up: QPR woes deepen as West Brom and Millwall falter
Millwall 0-0 Luton
Millwall failed to find a way past Luton Town in a 0-0 draw which saw the visitors record a division-best 18th clean sheet of the season in a game devoid of quality.
Rotherham 3-1 West Brom
Rotherham United dealt West Bromwich Albion’s promotion hopes a major hit at the AESSEAL New York Stadium, with the Millers coming from behind to triumph 3-1 – thanks much to Jordan Hugill’s second brace in six Championship rounds.
Blackburn 0-2 Norwich
David Wagner’s Norwich City side picked up their first Championship victory in over a month against fellow play-off chasers Blackburn Rovers, making it five wins in a row for the Canaries at Ewood Park.
Blackpool 1-3 Cardiff
Cardiff City boosted their hopes of Championship survival with a dominant 3-1 victory over fellow relegation strugglers Blackpool at Bloomfield Road, as the Tangerines suffered a fourth defeat in five matches.
QPR 0-2 Preston
A second-half brace from Tom Cannon guided Preston North End to a crucial 2-0 away victory, which condemned relegation-threatened Queens Park Rangers to a ninth defeat in 10 matches.
Reading 1-1 Birmingham
A third consecutive Championship home match without victory plunged Reading into the relegation zone, as they squandered the lead in a 1-1 draw with Birmingham City in Berkshire.
Sheffield United 1-0 Wigan
Iliman Ndiaye’s eighth-minute strike was enough to put Sheffield United eight points clear in the automatic promotion places, and weaken Wigan Athletic’s survival chances, who extended their winless run on the road in the Championship to 16 games.
Stoke 1-2 Bristol City
Stoke’s five-game unbeaten run came to an end with a drab Good Friday capitulation, as they were beaten 2-1 at the Bet365 Stadium by Bristol City. The victory is just the Robins second win on the road in their last nine away matches, and a first since October 2021 to come after conceding the opener.
Swansea 0-0 Coventry
Despite being held to a draw, Coventry City edged closer towards a top-six place, as a defiant performance from Andy Fisher helped secure Swansea City a point.
Watford 2-3 Huddersfield
Huddersfield Town came back after falling behind to leap out of the Championship relegation places following a 3-2 victory against Watford at Vicarage Road.
