Nathan Tella’s double helped Burnley return to winning ways with a 3-0 victory over 10-man Wigan at Turf Moor, making their advantage at the top 13 points. Burnley were held by Blackpool last weekend but never looked in danger of dropping more points once Tella had given them a deserved lead after 14 minutes. The Southampton loanee added his second two minutes into the second half to take his tally to 16 in all competitions. Substitute Lyle Foster scored the third – his first for the club – as Burnley reached the 80-point mark with ten games still to play. Wigan, who remain bottom on goal difference, were not helped by having to play the last hour with 10 men after central defender Omar Rekik – on loan from Arsenal – was sent off for a second caution. It ends a difficult week for the club, with player wages delayed following the announcement of a loss of £7.7m for the year ending 30 June 2022. The club blamed “liquidity issues”, calling it “a temporary matter which is promptly being resolved”. Luton earned a vital three points in the promotion race with a 1-0 win against high-flying Sheffield United. A second-half goal from Carlton Morris secured the victory that solidified the Hatters’ position in the play-off places. Two goals in the space of three second-half minutes helped Middlesbrough to come from behind at Swansea for a 3-1 win, ramping up the pressure on the Blades. Aaron Ramsey and Cameron Archer scored after the break to turn the game on its head just moments after Swansea, who led at the interval 1-0 thanks to Joel Piroe’s 14th goal of the season, had a goal ruled out. Top scorer Chuba Akpom netted from the penalty spot to seal a rousing comeback. Millwall bolstered their play-off hopes with a hard-earned 1-0 victory in a feisty encounter at Reading. In a scrappy first half, the visitors secured an early advantage when German midfielder Andreas Voglsammer coolly converted a penalty. In the second period neither side were able to create any clear-cut chances, but Millwall maintained their composure for a vital narrow win. Carlos Corberan enjoyed a winning reunion against Huddersfield as West Brom stretched their unbeaten home run in the Championship into double figures with a 1-0 victory at The Hawthorns. John Swift’s penalty on the half hour made it nine wins and a draw in 10 games for Albion and kept Huddersfield – who Corberan led to the Championship play-off final last season – in the relegation zone. Albion’s third win in four – all without conceding – put them three points outside the play-offs. Coventry’s play-off hopes took a hit as they were forced to come from a goal behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Hull at the CBS Arena. Óscar Estupiñán’s stunning first goal since mid-January gave the Tigers the lead before Matt Godden equalised with his fifth of the season. Tim Iroegbunam’s early goal ended QPR’s long wait for a win as they beat Watford 1-0 in Chris Wilder’s first match in charge of the Hornets. Injury-hit Rangers, in their third game under Gareth Ainsworth, produced a battling performance to give their new manager his first win since taking over. It was also their first victory in 14 matches in all competitions and only their second in 21. Preston kept their slim play-off hopes alive as goals from Tom Cannon and Ched Evans earned them a 2-0 win over strugglers Cardiff in a feisty affair at Deepdale. Cannon opened the scoring with a blistering second-half strike and Evans sealed the points at the death after Cardiff goalkeeper Jak Alnwick was sent off, extending the Lilywhites’ unbeaten run to six games. Birmingham cruised to a first win in six games by beating fellow strugglers Rotherham United 2-0 thanks to goals from Reda Khadra and Kevin Long. John Eustace’s side always like good value for their victory. Second-half goals from Andreas Weimann and Alex Scott saw Bristol City increase Blackpool’s relegation fears with a 2-0 win at Ashton Gate. The home side went in front on 58 minutes when Weimann accepted an Andy King pass 20 yards out and found the top corner with a brilliant left-foot strike. Scott doubled the advantage on 81 minutes, firing low past Chris Maxwell from 12 yards after a cross from substitute Harry Cornick had been cleared into his path. After the game, manager Nigel Pearson made it clear City would want more than £25m for the in-demand Scott. “So far the speculation about Alex Scott has been cooked up by journalists and agents,” he said. “We have not received one firm offer. If we do, it will need be more than £25m in today’s market. “I believe Alex will play for England one day. I thought that when I first saw him in a training session and nothing since has changed my mind. He is a level-headed lad, who won’t be affected by reports in the press. He will play for a top club one day and it’s just a question of when.”
