Scott Arfield’s 87th minute strike sealed all three points for Burnley against lowly Rotherham United.

Whilst; Brighton’s automatic promotion credentials took a major hit as they were thrashed 4-1 by Cardiff as they slipped to fourth spot. The Bluebirds were 3-0 up at half-time thanks to strikes from Peter Whittingham, Anthony Pilkington and Lex Immers. Dale Stephens struck early for the visitors in the second-half to give the Seagulls a chance, before Whittingham completed the rout with a coolly slotted penalty.

Derby County scored three goals in the final ten minutes as they beat Brentford 3-1 to finally end their barren winless run in the Championship and seal their first league victory since Boxing Day. Alan Judge’s superb 20-yard effort had put the Bees ahead, but late strikes from Jeff Hendrick, Cyrus Christie and Chris Martin sealed a vital three points for the visitors.

Fulham are now nine points clear of the relegation zone as they beat bottom side Charlton 3-0 as the Addicks’ survival chances took another huge blow. Tom Cairney’s brace along with Michael Madl’s fine header means the hosts are still six points from safety with ten matches left to play.

Bolton were denied a memorable win as they let in a late equaliser to draw 1-1 with QPR. Zach Clough had put the Trotters ahead with a wonderful curling effort, but Matt Phillips’ stoppage time goal meant it was a point apiece. However the hosts do climb off the bottom of the table with a point.

Preston saw off Sheffield Wednesday by defeating the Owls 1-0 to move inside the Championship’s top ten. Joe Garner scored the game’s only goal with a powerful header from Calum Woods’ cross for his fourth strike of the campaign.
