Rapid-fire Fulham keep up pressure on Warnock’s side

-

Quick-fire second-half goals from Stefan Johansen and Tom Cairney inspired third-placed Fulham to a 2-0 win at Norwich.

Fulham stretched their unbeaten run to 17 games with a hard-fought triumph, but remain seven points behind Neil Warnock’s Cardiff in second. Slavisa Jokanovic, the Fulham manager, said: “We just have to keep picking up good results and then see what happens in May. But I am not worried about that now, it’s only the next game I am thinking of.”

Shaun Williams scored after just 27 seconds as Millwall beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 to maintain their play-off push. The win extends Millwall’s unbeaten run to 13 league matches and takes them to within one point of the top six with seven matches remaining.

Williams’s first-minute header put Neil Harris’s men in charge, before Lee Gregory’s 10th goal of the season doubled their advantage before the break. Meanwhile, Bristol City missed the chance to break into the play-off spots, but claimed a share of the spoils in their 2-2 draw with struggling Barnsley thanks to Josh Brownhill’s late equaliser.

Atdhe Nuhiu netted scored twice as Sheffield Wednesday beat play-off hopefuls Preston 4-1. Lucas Joao and fit-again Fernando Forestieri got the other Wednesday goals, while Louis Moult scored for the visitors.

Caleb Ekuban and Pablo Hernandez scored for Leeds as they beat Bolton 2-1. Adam Le Fondre’s second-half effort kept the visitors in the game, but Leeds managed to hold on to seal all three points.
