Championship ROUND-UP

DERBY defender Matthew Clarke and his team-mates say the club’s off-field matters do not bother them. Clarke scored his first goal for Derby in the 1-0 win over

HULL, but EFL charges of breaching financial fair play rules and a potential points deduction are hanging over them. ‘We’ve got to put it to one side,’ Clarke said. ‘When you have strong characters in the dressing room it doesn’t affect you.’

BRENTFORD missed their chance to close the gap to the automatic promotion spots as they were held to a 0-0 draw by HUDDERSFIELD. Liverpool loanee Rhian Brewster made an impact on his second start for

SWANSEA, as they beat WIGAN 2-1. He hit his first professional goal when he was teed up by Conor Gallagher, on loan from Chelsea, and became the first player born this century to score a league goal for the Swans. SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY slumped to a shock 5-0 home loss against BLACKBURN to drop out of the play-off places. Wednesday had Massimo Luongo sent off after 23 minutes and manager Garry Monk said: ‘We got punished as heavily as we could have.’

MILLWALL kept up their impressive form under Gary Rowett as they beat

READING 2-0 courtesy of Matt Smith and former Royal Jon Dadi Bodvarsson. ‘I think we had eight shots on target to their none,’ Rowett said. ‘That’s a compliment to the way we defended.’ Niclas Aliasson’s 87thminute strike gave BRISTOL CITY a dramatic win over

BARNSLEY to keep them in the hunt for the top six. Manager Lee Johnson was delighted. ‘That’s three wins in four in the league and it’s starting to look a lot more positive,’ he said. Josh Harrop provided a goal and an assist for the first time in a single game as PRESTON overcame CHARLTON 2-1. Andre Green put Charlton into an early lead but Alex Neil’s side turned it around in the second half as the Addicks continue their slide towards the relegation zone.
