Josh Brownhill and Maxime Esteve secure Burnley a 2-1 win at Cardiff as they move within two points of second-placed Sheffield United Yousef Salech pulled one back for Bluebirds as the Clarets concede for the first time in the Championship in 1, 132 minutes Joe Gelhardt and Abu Kamara earn Hull a vital 2-0 victory over Plymouth in relegation battle at the MKM Stadium Zak Vyner's first goal for almost two years and Harry Cornick's first for 12 months sees Bristol City past Millwall and into seventh Preston North End have better of the chances against Swansea City but it ends goalless at Deepdale Get Involved: #bbcfootball, via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Glenn Speller, Ben Kosky and Oliver Brindle FT: Millwall 0-2 Bristol City He's barely been involved for Bristol City this season as this game was only his second league appearance, but Harry Cornick has his moment in the spotlight with the crucial second goal. Clearly a popular member of the dressing room, he's just been thrust forward by his team-mates to lead the celebrations in front of the travelling support. FT: Hull 2-0 Plymouth Peter Swan Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside We have said before Hull are not a relegation team, but they have put themselves in that situation now - and they have got to fight to get out of it. If we perform like we did in the first half it is going to be hard work, but they stuck to their plan and came out in the second half and they had a bit of luck, but that is what you need if you work hard, that bit of luck will turn into chances and you have to take them. It gives you the confidence to go on and win games like we did today, because Plymouth are a poor team and they will stay down in the bottom three and you can see them getting relegated. There wasn't much difference between both teams in the first half. But a result at home like this will give them a bit of belief going forward. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley Burnley concede a goal after 1132 minutes of league football but more importantly they get the three points. Goals from Josh Brownhill and Maxime Esteve had the visitors cruising but Yousef Salech had already hit a post before breaching the Burnley defence to get his side back into it. Salech glanced a header against the bar in the second period while Ethan Horvath prevented Burnley from extending their lead with saves from Jaidon Anthony and Josh Cullen. Will Fish almost salvaged a point for Cardiff right at the death but fired across the face of goal. Cardiff remain just five points clear of trouble while Burnley are back within two points of the automatic promotion places. Hull 2-0 Plymouth Cheers from the home crowd greet the final whistle, which confirms Hull's first victory on their own turf since just before Christmas. It's a massive result for the Tigers, who now have a five-point cushion above the bottom three. Plymouth remain very much in that bottom three - and still without an away win all season. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley A third yellow card for Burnley for time wasting as this time it's Jeremy Sarmiento. Preston 0-0 Swansea They huffed and they puffed but it finishes in a goalless stalemate. Milutin Osmajic had three very good chances for Preston but was off-target twice and saw Lawrence Vigouroux also deny him when one-on-one. The visiting goalkeeper also saved well from Brad Potts while Lewis O'Brien came the closest for Swansea and Liam Cullen also had a sight of goal. Millwall 0-2 Bristol City Bristol City fans can celebrate their side's first away win for almost four months. Away wins may be rare, but Zak Vyner goals are even rarer - the defender's first strike in almost two years set City on their way before substitute Harry Cornick hit the second. Liam Manning's side are up to seventh, just out of the play-off places on goal difference. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley Oh Will Fish so close to a leveller for Cardiff. He's in space at the far post but his shot goes across the face of goal and wide. Preston 0-0 Swansea We are into three minutes of time added on. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley We are into five minutes of time added on as Lucas Pires is cautioned for Burnley for time wasting and then goalkeeper James Trafford joins him for the same misdemeanour. Millwall 0-2 Bristol City We're into five added minutes at The Den, but there'll be no way back for Millwall unless something really extraordinary takes place. Josh Coburn did have a half-chance, heading over from George Honeyman's cross, but it just hasn't been their night overall. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley Burnley trying to kill this one off. Jaidon Anthony is off and Joe Worrall is on. Hull 2-0 Plymouth Peter Swan Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside Hull have just slowed the game down and are happy to play at their own pace. Preston 0-0 Swansea So close to opening up on the edge of the box for Swansea as Eom Ji-Sung's shot is blocked and they can't recycle the rebound to find a black shirt. Both sides still think they can win this. Swansea bring on Ollie Cooper for Lewis O'Brien Hull 2-0 Plymouth The frustration is evident for Plymouth's Matthew Sorinola, who is booked for kicking the ball away. Sorinola is met with jeers from the home crowd, who are relishing the rarity of a victory for their side at the MKM Stadium. It'll be a huge one as well, lifting Hull up to 19th place and six points above the bottom three, as it stands. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley Glen Little Ex-Burnley winger on BBC Radio Lancashire For some reason I haven't felt comfortable this half and we are sort of hanging on in this game. From what I have seen from Cardiff tonight they should be alright in the relegation battle, they have looked decent. Preston 0-0 Swansea A poor backpass has Milutin Osmajic bearing down on goal for Preston but Lawrence Vigouroux times his challenge perfectly in the Swansea goal to make the block. Harry Cornick (83 mins) Bristol City break away and double their lead! Two of the substitutes play a vital part in the goal, with Sam Bell forcing a stop from Lukas Jensen - but the goalkeeper can only parry as far as Harry Cornick, who gratefully tucks away the rebound. It's only Cornick's second appearance this season - and his first goal in over a year. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley Jeremy Sarmiento comes on for Burnley in place of Marcus Edwards. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley Yousef Salech glances a header against the bar for Cardiff - it's the second time he's hit the woodwork tonight as well as scoring his side's goal.
