Burnley boost promotion push despite losing clean-sheet streak
Burnley conceded a goal for the first time in 13 Championship games, but still bolstered their promotion charge with a 2-1 win at Cardiff on Tuesday.
Josh Brownhill and Maxime Esteve bagged first-half goals to put Scott Parker's side in control in south Wales.
Yousef Salech ended Burnley's remarkable defensive record before the break with a firm header.
Salech became the first player to score against Burnley in the league since Watford's Kwadwo Baah on December 21, only the 10th goal Burnley have conceded in 35 games.
It meant Manchester United's record 14-game league run without conceding between November 2008 and February 2009 remains intact.
Far more significant for Burnley's bid to return to the Premier League, they are now within two points of second-placed Sheffield United in the race for automatic promotion.
Cardiff remain five points above the relegation zone after suffering their first home defeat this year.
Zak Vyner and Harry Cornick ended Bristol City's woeful away run as they inspired a 2-0 win at Millwall.
Vyner scored just his fourth goal in 221 appearances for the Robins to open the scoring in the second half.
Cornick, making just his third appearance of the season, wrapped up the victory with seven minutes remaining.
City's first away win in 10 matches lifted them level on points with sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion in the battle for play-off berths.
Millwall were back in Championship action after their acrimonious FA Cup fifth round exit at Crystal Palace on Saturday, when goalkeeper Liam Roberts' reckless challenge put Eagles striker Jean-Phillipe Mateta in hospital.
Defiant Lions fans, criticised for chanting "let him die" while Mateta was receiving treatment on the pitch, held a minute's applause for Roberts in the eighth minute -- corresponding to when he was sent off -- while singing "there's only one Liam Roberts".
Joe Gelhardt and Abu Kamara scored second-half goals as Hull beat fellow strugglers Plymouth 2-0 for their first home win in 2025.
Gelhardt, on loan from Leeds, broke the deadlock and Kamara finished off the move of the match to seal Hull's first win at the MKM Stadium since December.
Hull, who had failed to win their five previous home games, moved five points clear of the relegation zone, while second-bottom Plymouth are six points from safety.
Swansea made it four points from two games under caretaker boss Alan Sheehan as they held Preston to a 0-0 draw at Deepdale.
The Welsh side, beaten in seven out of nine league games prior to Luke Williams' sacking, sit 10 points above the relegation zone
