    Blackburn 0-3 Bournemouth

    Blackburn were third with an eight-point cushion on seventh place in January when Hull ended their 10-match unbeaten run.

    That had been promotion form even at the turn to the second half of the season.

    But they've won just four times since then, that's in 17 games.

    Bournemouth are coasting to victory here and Rovers' play-off aspirations are done.

    What a way to end your season at home!

    Andi Weimann has his 22nd of the season and Hull City players and fans have a long journey home ahead of them.

    It's a beautiful chip from the Austria international.

    From the highs of out-playing Preston on Monday to being outplayed by Bournemouth.

    It's been a week of contrasts for Blackburn as Philip Billing surely puts Bournemouth out of sight with a cool finish.

    There's the hat-trick.

    Philip Zinckernagel finds Djed Spence who puts the ball into the box towards Sam Surridge who volleys in for his first-ever hat-trick.

    That's set up a cracker of a game on Tuesday night as Nottingham Forest take on Bournemouth.

    That is, of course, provided Swansea don't mount a Bournemouth-esque comeback as the Cherries did against them in midweek.

    As I was saying, Blackburn's play-off hopes are all but over.

    Bournemouth double their lead against Blackburn through Philip Billing as he fires inside the box thanks to Dominic Solanke.

    That should be the win wrapped up.

    Blackburn 0-1 Bournemouth

    Dominic Solanke should have found his second of the afternoon to put Bournemouth in the driving seat against Blackburn.

    He weaves his way past two markers and is one-on-one with Rovers keeper Thomas Kaminski who makes the save.

    Blackburn's play-off hopes are over unless they can get back into this game.

    An hour gone at the City Ground and Sam Surridge's brace has certainly made Nottm Forest a bit more comfortable than they were half an hour ago.

    Their 3-1 lead against Bournemouth has put them three points off Bournemouth, who are still in second.

    Tuesday night they take on the Cherries in what could be the game of the season in the pursuit of promotion.

    Jordan Rhodes has been in great form recently but he won't want to see this one again.

  20. A rare away success on the cards?published at 16:19 British Summer Time 30 April 2022

    Cardiff 0-1 Birmingham

    Gareth Vincent
    BBC Sport Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium

    Only the three relegated sides have won fewer away games in the Championship this season than Birmingham City.

    There is some way to go yet, but the Blues are on course for away victory number five - and just the second since October - as things stand.

    Cardiff are not done yet, though.

    They have just seen a Jordan Hugill effort disallowed for offside, with the home crowd playing their part as the Bluebirds try to end their four-game losing streak.
