Championship
• Nottingham Forest’s dismal recent form continued, as a late Ricardo Fuller goal earned Millwall a 1-0 win at the City Ground. Forest have now won just twice in their last 21 league games under Stuart Pearce, while Ian Holloway’s team are within two points of safety.
• Chris Hughton’s Brighton were dragged back into relegation trouble after losing 1-0 at bottom club Blackpool – Jamie O’Hara with the goal from a free kick. It was a good day for the bottom three, with Wigan holding promotion-chasing Ipswich to a goalless draw at Portman Road.
• Derby and Middlesbrough kept pace with leaders Bournemouth, who beat Watford 2-0 on Friday night. Derby won 2-0 at Cardiff despite a missed Chris Martin penalty, while Grant Leadbitter scored from the spot to earn Boro a 1-0 win at Brentford.
• Zach Clough scored twice for Bolton as they drew 2-2 with Wolves, while Jordan Rhodes got the winner as Blackburn beat Fulham 2-1. Leeds won a Yorkshire derby against Huddersfield by the same scoreline, and it finished 1-1 between the division’s two draw specialists, Charlton and Rotherham.
