The Swansea City player ratings as Oli McBurnie stars again but defensive woes prove costly against Hull City 

What it all means?

Derby remain in the box seat with their win over the Robins. They will finish sixth with just four points from their final two games, although they could do it with just three.

Middlesbrough need a slip up from the Rams and will need to beat Rotherham on the final day.

Bristol City will most likely have to win both of their games to stand any chance of finishing in sixth place.

But Swansea's hopes are over as they now trail Derby and Boro by seven points with just two games left to play.

What are the remaining fixtures?

Derby County - Swansea City (A), West Brom (H)

Bristol City - Millwall (A), Hull (A)

Middlesbrough - Rotherham (A) 

Swansea City - Derby (H), Blackburn (A)
