Championship MatchDay 14 Wrap-up
|
Fulham climbed back above West Brom, at the end of Match Day
Fourteen, into second place in the table after a 4-0 away win at
Nottingham Forest. Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic scored his 14th and
15th goals of the season with Neeskens Kebano completing the scoring for Fulham. Mitrovic had forced ex-Fulham trainee Djed Spence to turn the ball into his own goal for Fulham's first goal. It signalled a first defeat under new manager Steve Cooper for Forest, who had won four consecutive games under the former Swansea boss.

Tom Bradshaw’s second-half double saw
Millwall come from behind to record an impressive 2-1 win over
Stoke. Romaine Sawyers had given the visitors a deserved lead midway but Millwall pulled level shortly after the restart when Bradshaw tapped in Sheyi Ojo's teasing ball and the striker did it again 10 minutes later with another close-range finish to give the Lions their fourth win in five games and send them into the top half of the table.
Blackpool gave their loyal supporters plenty to smile about by earning bragging rights with a superb 2-0 Lancashire derby victory over arch-rivals
Preston .
Goals from Keshi Anderson and Gary Madine did the trick as the Seasiders delighted their fans at a packed Bloomfield Road.
It was also the Tangerines' first home win over their local rivals since a 2-1 triumph way back in December 1997.
A second quickfire double in the space of a week helped
Blackburn end their four-game winless run with a 2-0 victory over
Reading .
In a game of few chances, the Royals looked the most assured in possession but Rovers were much more clinical and they put their visitors to the sword in a devastating three-minute spell in the second half.
Troy Deeney scored
Birmingham's first goal in nearly 10 hours of football to inspire his side to a 2-1 Championship victory over
Swansea.
Michael Obafemi thought he had earned the Swans a share of the spoils with a 77th-minute leveller but Riley McGree netted a winner for Blues.
The home side had not scored in their previous six games, dropping down to 19th in the table after a dismal run.
Lys Mousset scored twice but
Sheffield United were made to hang on for a nervy 3-2 derby win over
Barnsley at Oakwell.
Mousset fired the Blades ahead in the 51st minute, before adding a second just two minutes later, and when Ben Osborn made it 3-0 in the 72nd minute, Slavisa Jokanovic's side looked on course for a comfortable victory.
But Devante Cole pulled a goal back in the 78th minute and fellow substitute Leya Iseka grabbed a second four minutes later to leave the stuttering Blades sweating before closing out a win that lifts them to 14th in the Championship and leave Barnsley with just one win so far this season.
There were eight home wins, one draw and three away wins. The biggest winning score of the day was Fulham's 4-0 away win at Nottingham Forest while there were 33 goals scored in total. Ref's had a busy day with 44 yellow cards being waved, 23 to home sides and 21 to away teams. There was only one red card issued.
