Coca Cola Championship results roundup
Posted by football writer on February 8, 2010 - Championship
Newcastle cruised past the Bluebirds with a 5-1 score line on Friday to stretch their lead atop the Championship table. But the response from the chasing pack was positive as both West Brom and Nottingham Forest kept pace with the leaders with win on Saturday.
West Brom edged Plymouth in a very cagey affair. Simon Cox’s 66th minute goal proved to be the difference between the two sides. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, were propelled by a Dexter Blackstock brace as they downed Sheffield Wednesday 2-1.
In the early kickoff on Saturday, Swansea City defeated Preston 2-0 to go level on points with Cardiff City. Ashley Williams and David Cotterill came up with the goals for the Wales based side. Sheffield United dropped out of the playoff places with a 1-1 draw against Derby County. Lee Williamson fired home a late equaliser to neutralise Robbie Savage’s goal for the Rams. The sixth spot in the League was usurped from Sheffield United by Leicester City who won against Ian Holloway’s Blackpool.
Middlesbrough came from behind to bag a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Daryl Murphy scored in his first game for the new club but his effort was cancelled out by a David Wheater header. Crystal Palace continued their northward run with a last-gasp win against Scunthorpe. Neil Danns broke Scunthorpe hearts with a winner in injury time.
Reading secured their second consecutive win in the league with an invaluable 2-1 win away at Doncaster. Reading are third from bottom and one point away from climbing out of the relegation zone.
