Championship roundup: Bristol City leave it late to deny Sheffield United | Championship




Mark Sykes struck a last-minute equaliser to snatch Bristol City a 1-1 draw at Championship promotion-chasers Sheffield United.

The point was enough to lift the Blades back to the top of the table, but they were denied a seventh win in eight matches by Sykes’ last-gasp effort after Tyrese Campbell had given them a second-half lead.

Burnley missed the chance to move above Leeds in the promotion race, held to a 1-1 draw by play-off chasing West Brom.

John Swift’s fine free-kick 20 minutes in saw the Clarets’ run of seven consecutive home clean sheets come to an end, although Zian Flemming quickly punished a bad mistake from West Brom goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith.

Burnley defender CJ Egan-Riley and manager Scott Parker were sent off after the final whistle following a clash late on, after an incident in which Egan-Riley appeared to kick William Lankshear.

Romaine Mundle’s brilliant equaliser snatched a point for promotion hopefuls Sunderland in a 1-1 draw with Preston at the Stadium of Light, cancelling out Emil Riis’ 65th-minute opener.

Matt Clarke and Marcus Harness struck in each half to help Derby boost their survival hopes with a 2-0 victory over in-form Coventry on Frank Lampard’s return to Pride Park.

Tommy Conway and Anfernee Dijksteel struck either side of half-time as Middlesbrough beat QPR 2-1 to edge themselves to within three points of the play-off places.

Sheffield Wednesday produced a superb second-half comeback to beat Norwich 3-2 at Carrow Road and keep their own hopes alive.

Luton claimed a precious 2-1 victory over Cardiff in their Championship relegation battle as the contest was overshadowed by an injury to Aaron Ramsey that threatens to rule the Wales captain out of World Cup action.
