Josh Brownhill and Jaidon Anthony give Burnley a 2-0 lead at Swansea as the Clarets will go second with a win Haji Wright's double has Coventry ahead against play-off rivals Sunderland Yousef Salech on target for Cardiff but Blackburn equalise through Yuki Ohashi Mustapha Bundu pulls one back for Plymouth after Marcus Harness and Harrison Armstrong had put Derby 2-0 up Four other games: Luton v Middlesbrough, Preston v Portsmouth, Oxford v Watford and West Brom v Hull Leeds come back from 2-0 down to earn draw at QPR but drop points in automatic promotion race Mihailo Ivanovic converts penalty in injury time for Millwall to beat Stoke Get Involved: #bbcfootball, via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Adam Lanigan, Thomas Dodd, Harry De Cosemo and Ben Hutchinson Coventry 2-0 Sunderland Steve Ogrizovic Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR You will expect a response from Sunderland and Coventry need to be ready. We need to get the next goal or it could be a tricky finish. It's all about the mentality, if we get the next goal we could go on and get a fourth, but if Sunderland get it then it will be interesting. HT: Plymouth 1-2 Derby Brent Pilnick BBC Sport at Home Park Derby have a deserved lead at the break, but this game is by no means over. Mustapha Bundu's free-kick has given the home side a glimmer of hope when it looked as though they were dead and buried. But they will have to improve if they are to get anything out of this game - Derby have been the better aside for long spells and have had chances to be further in front. One thing is for certain - the next 45 minutes could be absolutely crucial to both sides' hopes of avoiding relegation. Preston 0-0 Portsmouth The visitors have had the better openings, but Preston have only lost two at home all campaign for a reason. It would be an 18th draw from 38 games for the Lilywhites if this was the score at full-time. HT: Coventry 2-0 Sunderland Gary Bennett Ex-Sunderland defender on BBC Radio Newcastle The decision making has been really poor, Coventry have wanted it way more than we did. It's a comfortable 2-0 lead, you've got to ask questions. The first goal we give away is poor, it wasn't the best throw to him but he's lost it and Coventry can break. The amount of times we gave the ball away you're bound to be punished. The second goal was a blatant penalty. It's as if we have no fight, there's no urgency. Blackburn 1-1 Cardiff A goal apiece and a header apiece and we go into the break level in east Lancashire. Yuki Ohashi cancelled out Yousef Salech's early opener for Cardiff, but with results elsewhere, both sides could do with a winner in the second half. Plymouth 1-2 Derby Derby's resurgence is continuing at the break and they deservedly lead. Bundu's free kick has halved the deficit, though, and Argyle are right in it. Oxford 0-0 Watford Nothing to separate these two so far, and few openings at either end to speak of. Time for a 15-minute regroup. Luton 0-0 Middlesbrough No goals in the first half at Kenilworth Road and no idea how. Luton have dominated but do not have a goal to show for that domination. Middlesbrough have taken lots of punches, but they are still on level terms. West Brom 0-0 Hull West Brom dominant and Tony Mowbray will be encouraged, but they need to convert some of these chances. Swansea 0-2 Burnley Scott Parker's promotion-chasers doing what you would expect promotion chasers to do. The Clarets have only conceded three goals after half-time all season. It would take something special from Swansea to get anything from this one. West Brom 0-0 Hull More West Brom chances go begging. Armstrong fired over before Isaac Price followed suit. The Baggies will be very frustrated. Coventry 2-0 Sunderland A great half for Coventry and their American striker, Haji Wright, as his left-right combination has the Sky Blues two up. If Sunderland lose, it's safe to completely rule out their chances of automatic promotion. Blackburn 1-1 Cardiff Cardiff have been forced into a change with Joe Ralls going off and Ruben Colwill on in his place. Then Simon Mannsverk has a go from the edge of the box with a volley but he is just wide. Coventry 2-0 Sunderland Sunderland have only lost six league games out of 37 before today under Regis Le Bris. All of those have been by one goal. They have not suffered many halves like this all season. Plymouth 1-2 Derby Malcom Christie BBC Radio Derby The game has opened up a little. We wanted to quieten the crowd down which we had done. You don't know if the game being more open suits the Rams, but Plymouth will give them chances. The Plymouth fans have more belief, the goal came from giving away a silly free kick. Preston 0-0 Portsmouth Pompey continue to ask the questions at Deepdale. Freddie Potts is unable to turn the ball home from close range after an inviting cross from Josh Murphy. Plymouth 1-2 Derby Brent Pilnick BBC Sport at Home Park There is hope yet for Argyle. Home Park has erupted after that superb free-kick from Mustapha Bundu. It is the second goal is as many games for the Sierra Leone forward and what a time to get it. The atmosphere has changed here at Home Park - can Argyle come back or will Derby regain control? Luton 0-0 Middlesbrough If Luton do not win this game, they will absolutely kick themselves! So many chances to score. Mark Travers denies Carlton Morris and then Elijah Adebayo's follow-up is blocked on the line by Samuel Iling-Junior. Then from the corner, Mark Mc Guinness nods wide. Still goalless, somehow. Mustapha Bundu (38 mins) Back in it! Brilliant free kick from Mustapha Bundu from a tight angle on the edge of the area. Superb technique! Swansea 0-2 Burnley We know all about their prowess at the back, but the Burnley defenders are dangerous at the other end too. Marcus Edwards' ball finds centre-half Maxime Estève, but his attempt flies just over the top. Last Updated 15th March 2025 at 15: 50 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
