They're heading five points clear at the top of the Championship, and 11 clear of third-placed Huddersfield, as things stand.

Bristol City striker Aaron Wilbraham had a goal disallowed and Lee Tomlin missed a penalty as the Robins  slid into the relegation zone after a 0-0 draw with Burton Albion.

Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol:

"I thought we deserved to win, we deserved to win by manner of chances and manner of forward play and we just couldn't get it over the line.

"The first-half goal should have stood, it was definitely not a foul having looked back on it. 

"It's very frustrating because we should have scored two or three today."

"We played it like a must-win, we played it like a cup final and that's what I wanted.

"Even from the first minute, their keeper's pulled off an unbelievable save to tip Lee Tomlin's volley onto the bar. 

"Maybe we ran over a black cat, who knows, but we'll have to find out pretty sharpish."

Blackburn remained unbeaten in three games under new manager Tony Mowbray, beating fellow strugglers Wigan 1-0 to move two points clear of the relegation zone.

Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray told BBC Radio Lancashire:

"They've got it in bucketfuls this resilience, this togetherness, this spirit.

"It's something I could see the first day I could see that they were quite a tight group, and it was hurting them I think to find themselves in the bottom three. 

"There was some warriors out there on the pitch for us today and on Tuesday night, and we managed to get the points from the games."

Here's a look at the penalty incident in the 10th minute, as Matt Ritchie was felled by Nahki Wells.

That got the ball rolling for Newcastle and, after soaking up some Huddersfield pressure, they got their second just after the half hour when Daryl Murphy slotted home.

It's all going well for the Magpies, and they are on course for their 13th away victory of thee season.

Nahki Wells strikes the resulting free-kick over the bar for Huddersfield from on the left-hand side.

That's half-time in Yorkshire.

The visitors are two goals up and heading five points clear at the top of the Championship.

Rajiv van La Parra breaks away down the left and wins a free-kick as Vurnon Anita falls over and handles.

The Magpies right-back goes into the book for that.

The ball breaks to Jonjo Shelvey from the corner, and he strikes at goal.

Danny Ward palms away unconvincingly but the Terriers break away...

The fourth official indicates two minutes of added time at the end of the first half at the John Smith's Stadium.

Terriers boss David Wagner looks a little frustrated in the stands.

Newcastle have a corner before the break.

Isaiah Brown looks to pick out the bottom left-hand corner with a curling effort from outside the area, but Darlow is equal to it again, moving to his right and plucking that one out of the air.

A couple of minutes to the break. Can Huddersfield find another opening before half-time?

They've tested Karl Darlow with a few efforts from range so far but found the Newcastle keeper in fine form.

Another great save from Newcastle keeper Karl Darlow.

This time it's Aaron Mooy who strikes from outside the box, and Darlow has to dive to his right to tip it behind for a corner.

Huddersfield midfielder Isaiah Brown works some space on teh edge of the area and shoots from just inside the D.

But it's straight at Karl Darlow.

It looks a long way back for the Terriers at the moment. They need a spark.

Newcastle midfielder Jack Colback goes into the book for a foul. That was his second of the game and he'd already had a warning from referee Roger East.

Meanwhile Huddersfield centre-back Christopher Schindler picked up a booking protesting about the Magpies' second goal.

Huddersfield look for an immediate reply to falling two goals behind, and Chris Lowe sends a left-footed shot narrowly wide from outside the area.

I don't think Karl Darlow was getting to that.

Newcastle double their lead, and it's almost out of nothing.

Jonjo Shelvey finds Daryl Murphy with a ball over the top, but the striker's first touch takes him away from goal.

Terriers keeper Danny Ward looks like he has gathered the ball, but only has one hand on it and the ball drops to Murphy.

The former Ipswich man manages to steer the ball home from a narrow angle - through Ward's legs.

Home keeper Danny Ward has to be smart to rush to the edge of his area and clear the ball in front of Daryl Murphy, who was chasing a ball over the top.

Here are Newcastle's players celebrating their early goal.

Matt Ritchie's 10th-minute penalty is the difference between the two sides at the moment.

The rain is really coming down at the John Smith's Stadium now. that could make conditions interesting as the game wears on.

Rajiv van La Parra has just blasted a shot well over from all of 30 yards for the hosts.

Brighton missed out on the chance to move top of the Championship as they suffered their second successive defeat with a 3-0 loss at Nottingham Forest.

Brighton manager Chris Hughton told BBC Sussex:

"This is a tough period for us, but we knew that, we knew that there are a group of teams behind us that will get a lot of wins.

"We want to make sure that we get back on track come Tuesday night and for the rest of the season because it won't be easy, everybody's pushing.

"We're going to have to show what we've shown for the bulk of the season to make sure we stay where we want to."

Newcastle have a free-kick wide on the left and, after the ball pings around in the box a bit with some head tennis, the Huddersfield defence get it clear.
