Burnley move top of Championship as rivals Leeds, Sheffield United stumble

Burnley moved to the top of the Championship with a 2-1 win at Coventry as promotion rivals Sheffield United and Leeds both stumbled on Saturday.

Scott Parker's side fell behind when Haji Wright netted for Coventry after five minutes.

But Jaidon Anthony scored either side of half-time to make it 27 league games unbeaten for the Clarets.

"Immensely proud, a tough place to come, we knew that coming into the game," Parker said.

"You just need to roll sleeves up and you need to go to places and dig. For the majority of this year these players have got that."

Third-placed Leeds' 1-1 draw at struggling Luton was another blow to their hopes of an immediate return to the Premier League.

Isaiah Jones' volley put Luton ahead before Daniel James equalised for the visitors at Kenilworth Road.

Daniel Farke's men have taken just seven points from their last six games and sit one point outside the automatic promotion places with six matches left.

Second-placed Sheffield United were knocked out of first place after a 1-0 loss at Oxford -- their first defeat since February.

Siriki Dembele's goal in the 38th minute moved Oxford four points clear of the relegation zone.

Fourth-placed Sunderland's 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion was a blow to the hosts' hopes of making the play-offs.

Trai Hume's goal left Albion three points outside the top six.

Bristol City leap-frogged Coventry into sixth place with a 2-1 win over Watford at Ashton Gate.

Ross McCrorie struck first in the 24th minute before Nakhi Wells netted his ninth of the season in the 29th minute.

Mamadou Doumbia's 80th minute goal was little consolation for Watford.

Mihailo Ivanovic netted an 87th-minute winner as his brace helped Millwall to a 2-1 win over Portsmouth at the Den.

After Ivanovic headed the opener just before the hour mark, Pompey's Andre Dozzell thought he had secured a point for Portsmouth in the 80th-minute.

However, Serbian forward Ivanovic nodded in his second goal three minutes from full-time.

Ryan Hardie's double saw bottom of the table Plymouth keep their survival hopes alive with a 2-1 win against Norwich.

Lewis Baker's late penalty gave Stoke a 1-1 draw at Preston after Kaine Kesler-Hayden's tap-in for the hosts.

Charlie Hughes' stoppage-time winner fired lowly Hull to a 1-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday .

Eom Ji-Sung's 79th-minute strike was enough for Swansea to beat struggling Derby 1-0, while QPR and Cardiff shared a goalless draw.
