Hull City boosted their Championship survival hopes by stunning high-flying Sheffield United with an emphatic victory at Bramall Lane.

Mihailo Ivanovic provided a moment of quality in a bruising encounter at Luton to provide Alex Neil with his first win as Millwall manager.

Josh Sargent scored twice in his first start since October as Norwich City returned to winning ways with a 5-1 hammering of Swansea, whose poor recent run continued at Carrow Road.

Stoke City and Oxford United played out a goalless draw in the Championship where the U's struck the woodwork late on and the home side had calls for a penalty rejected.

Nahki Wells continued his impressive record against Blackburn Rovers with a late winner to fire Bristol City to a fourth successive Championship home victory.

Cardiff City extended their unbeaten run to eight games with a win over Derby County that condemned their Championship relegation rivals to a sixth straight defeat.

Two goals from Victor Torp were enough for Coventry to see off Watford and deny a spirited comeback for the Hornets.

Middlesbrough's promotion push faltered after they were beaten 2-1 by Preston North End at Deepdale.

Sheffield Wednesday won the battle of Championship play-off hopefuls to leapfrog back above Queen's Park Rangers.

Nathanael Ogbeta's last-minute goal secured a well-deserved point for struggling Plymouth Argyle at high-flying Sunderland in the Championship.

West Bromwich Albion made boss Tony Mowbray's Hawthorns return a memorable one as they scored four first-half goals in a convincing demolition of Portsmouth.

Burnley registered their 20th clean sheet of the season as they held Championship leaders Leeds in an uneventful goalless draw.

Mihailo Ivanovic's first-half goal and Millwall's admirable defensive performance was enough to beat Portsmouth and keep a clean sheet at Fratton Park.
