Wigan were ahead at half-time thanks to a Greg Cunningham own goal.

But a Daniel Johnson penalty and Tom Cannon's first senior goal saw Preston come from behind for a first home win since 1 November.

The Latics pushed desperately for an equaliser, but it's a first defeat under Shaun Maloney.

Daryl Dike's double is enough to stall the Middlesbrough promotion freight train and dump a healthy spadeful of coal in the Baggies boiler in turn.

West Brom were full steam ahead in this one, despite Boro's persistence, and once Dike had struck, the deficit was just too much to claw back.

Carlos Corberan's side are now four points off Norwich in sixth from their 10th position, while Michael Carrick's Boro remain third despite this loss.

Luton's push for a play-off place is bolstered by another goal from Carlton Morris, although at a cost as he was taken off injured along with Reece Burke.

This win means they're not only above local rivals Watford in the table thanks to Sheffield United's win, but they're only one point behind Norwich in sixth.

Birmingham took til late on to really rally, with Scott Hogan hitting the bar, so they still have to look slightly anxiously down the table at the drop zone at present.

Second-placed Sheffield United recover from back-to-back defeats to move seven points clear of the play-off pack.

A Ryan Porteous own goal settled what was a match of few clear chances.

For Watford, it is just one win in seven league games and their top-six bid is faltering.

Isaiah Jones is denied by a big presence by Josh Griffiths, who foils the Boro winger from close range.

West Brom clinging on right now to a clean sheet.

Can Preston hang on with ten men?

Back to about 2011 at the Select Car Leasing Stadium where two goals from Tom Ince and an Andy Carroll penalty have made for an easy afternoon for Reading.

Sonny Carey scored with effectively the last kick of the game, but it's a miserable trip back up north for Mick McCarthy and Blackpool.

Blackburn look set to cut the gap to third-placed Middlesbrough to two points after spoiling Gareth Ainsworth's first match in charge of QPR.

A double from Sam Gallagher and one goal from Sammie Szmodics make it seven without defeat for Rovers.

For Rangers fans, the statistics make woeful reading.

It's now 11 without a win in the Championship, nine without a win at home and just one victory in 18 league outings.

Their slide continues.

Those two goals in four first-half minutes from South American duo Gabriel Sara and Marquinhos wrap up three points for Norwich.

Cardiff remain looking over their shoulders towards the bottom three.

A second-half penalty from Nahki Wells settles this mid-table meeting.
