    Rotherham 1-1 Watford

    A point apiece.

    Richard Wood's early goal gave the home side the lead before Vakoun Bayo leathered in an equaliser before the break.

    The away side did their all to find a late winner but it was not to be for Rob Edwards' men.

    Rotherham are still yet to score in the second half of a game this season but they'll be happy to take a point from this one today.

    Preston 0-1 Birmingham

    Preston had come into this game on a remarkable run without conceding, but that came to an end when Maxime Colin found the net for Birmingham.

    Blues hold on and end their miserable run in the Championship with a morale-boosting victory at Deepdale.

    Swansea 1-0 QPR

    The Joel Piroe show.

    He saw a first half penalty saved by Seny Dieg in the R's goal but then gave the home side the lead with what proved to be the only goal of the game.

    Just a second win of the season for the Swans.

    Wow.

    What a comeback!

    Two goals in eight minutes and Thelo Aasgaard might just have scored the winner for Wigan! It comes via Callum Lang, who plays him through before he smashes the ball into the top corner.

    Cardiff still pressing for a late equaliser at The Den.
