Ipswich pegged back by Hull

- SKYBET CHAMPIONSH­IP ROUND-UP

OMARI Hutchinson scored twice but Hull came from behind three times to stop Ipswich moving into the Sky Bet Championsh­ip promotion places with a 3-3 draw at the MKM Stadium.

Ipswich started the day sitting a solitary point behind Leeds having played two games less, knowing a victory would put them in healthy position to move into the Premier League and George Hirst fired the visitors in front in the 19th minute to give them a perfect start.

Hull capitalise­d on some slack defending to draw level through Ozan Tufan but Chelsea loanee Hutchinson curled in from outside the box to restore the lead.

Liam Delap equalised but Ipswich hit the front for a third time as Hutchinson was given space outside the box again and bent into the bottom corner - before Noah Ohio struck late on to deny Ipswich and keep Hull’s own play-off hopes alive.

Sheffield Wednesday took a huge step towards safety after goals from Anthony Musaba, Ike Ugbo and Josh Windass earned them a 3-0 victory over West Brom, who will need to book their place in the play-offs on the last day.

Wednesday had taken only three points from 11 games when Danny Rohl took charge at Hillsborou­gh but a stunning turnaround means they need just a point to ensure their second-tier status following promotion last season.

Plymouth were beaten 1-0 by Millwall at The Den. Jake Cooper nodded home from Ryan Leonard’s cross seven minutes from time to seal a fourth successive win for Neil Harris’ men.

Stoke are safe from relegation after Tyrese Campbell’s first-half finish earned a 1-0 victory over Southampto­n, who have to settle for a play-off place.

Blackburn are still not safe as they were held to a 0-0 draw despite having 30 shots against 10-man Coventry, who had both defender Liam Kitching and manager John Eustace sent off.

Norwich drew 2-2 with Swansea and need just a point on the final day to secure a play-off place.

Swansea took the lead courtesy of Jamie Paterson before Gabriel Sara levelled. Sara set up Josh Sargent to nod in before the break but Matt Grimes’ penalty earned Swansea a point.

Middlesbro­ugh ended their threematch winless run in style with a 4-1 victory over Cardiff thanks to goals from Matthew Clarke, Finn Azaz, Alex Gilbert and Emmanuel Latte Lath’s 15th of the season. Rotherham’s miserable away campaign finished with a 2-0 defeat by Bristol City, leaving them winless on the road all season, while Watford beat Sunderland 1-0 for a first win in seven.
