    It comes from a free-kick by Ben Whiteman which is pushed into Evans' path by replacement keeper Rohan Luthra who puts it into the net.

    West Brom 1-0 Huddersfield

    John Swift's first-half penalty is enough for West Brom to beat Huddersfield and pile more worry on the Terriers who remain in the bottom three.

    QPR 1-0 Watford

    QPR get a massive win, their first since 17 December and a first victory under Gareth Ainsworth.

    The opening game of Chris Wilder's reign at Watford is a defeat. Just one win in nine league games for the Hornets now.

    Coventry 1-1 Hull

    Coventry come from behind through Matty Godden's goal to deny Hull a big three points.

    Oscar Estupinan had put the Tigers ahead.

    Honours even. Coventry welcome the point and extension of their good form. Hull happy too.

    Burnley 3-0 Wigan

    Day to forget for bottom-club Wigan, who stay bottom and see their goal difference ransacked by the side at the very opposite end of the Championship.

    Burnley's progress under Vincent Kompany has been magnificent. That's 80 points accrued with 10 games to go. Dominant Fulham went up last year with 90...

    Nathan Tella's double and a Lyle Foster first for the Clarets were enough to overpower the Latics, who had Omar Rekik sent-off.

    Swansea 1-3 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough are the comeback kings at Swansea, bouncing back from Joel Piroe's first-half goal to take the three points and really keep the pressure on the top two.

    Goals from Aaron Ramsey, Cameron Archer and top-scorer Chuba Akpom deliver the points.

    46 points from 20 games for Michael Carrick. Irresistible form.

    West Brom 1-0 Huddersfield

    We've got seven minutes added on at The Hawthorns. Not a huge amount of action during this last 10 minutes other than a fair few substitutions.

    Swansea 1-2 Middlesbrough

    Four added minutes for Boro to cling on and chop into that Sheffield United points lead in second place.

    If they are successful, that's 46 points in 20 games for Michael Carrick. Magician of a coach. Steve Cooper-esque.

    Swansea will still have something to say though, no doubt.
