2019-20 Sky Bet Championship: Week 33 Roundup

West Bromwich Albion continue to move towards promotion after teams survived another crazy round of Sky Bet Championship action unscathed, despite Storm Dennis playing havoc with conditions. 

Callum Robinson put the Baggies ahead after picking up Matheus Pereira’s pass from an interception on Samba Sow, only for Kyle Bartley to then flick in Sammy Ameobi’s pass to restore parity at the break. 

Tobias Figueiredo then gifted West Brom a second goal when he bundled Jake Livermore’s on-the-turn cross into his own net, before Matty Cash lashed in a late injury time strike to snatch a point for Forest in an entertaining 2-2 draw.

Leeds stay second but are now four points behind the Baggies after Luke Ayling’s first half smash was enough to clinch victory over Bristol City. 

Cauley Woodrow netted a brace as rock-bottom Barnsley stunned Fulham in a three goal victory at Craven Cottage, whilst Brentford missed the chance to go third after being held to a 1-1 draw at Birmingham City. 

Preston again round out the top six despite falling to a late defeat at home to Millwall, as Shaun Hutchinson headed in a late winner for the Lions.

Down in the relegation zone, Luton made it back to back wins after Ryan Tunnicliffe volleyed in Dan Potts’ cross to edge past Middlesbrough, leaving the Hatters sat second-bottom and seven points behind Boro. 

Wigan missed a chance to move to within a point of safety after Kal Naismith’s own goal ensured that Cardiff snatched a point in a 2-2 draw, which saw Kieffer Moore net a first-half brace either side of Josh Murphy’s half volley for the Bluebirds. 

Elsewhere, Tom Eaves’ injury time strike rescued Hull a point against Swansea in a pulsating eight goal thriller at the KCOM Stadium.

QPR came from two goals down to beat Stoke 4-2 in a pulsating encounter which saw Bright Osayi-Samuel and Ilias Chair net in the second half, after Jordan Hugill and Ebere Eze had cancelled out Sam Clucas and Tyrese Campbell’s first-half openers for the Potters. 

Reading battered ten-man Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough to move 11 points clear of the relegation zone, taking a 3-0 win as the Owls saw Osaze Urhoghide sent off for a second bookable offence early in the second half. 

First half goals from John Buckley and Tosin Adarabioyo were enough for Blackburn to ease past Charlton at The Valley, moving Rovers to within three points of the Play-Off spots.

Finally, Harry Toffolo’s late chipped strike clinched a point for Huddersfield at Derby, who had led through Tom Lawrence’s screamer midway through the second half.
