    Wow what a slate we had this afternoon in the Championship and the games didn't disappoint.

    A truly mad second half with goals flying in all over the shop.

    Ipswich escape St. Andrew's with a point to keep the pressure on Leicester at the top.

    Southampton snatch another late goal to get the win and West Brom and Preston claim three points to stay in the hunt.

    That's us done for the day, but don't disappear, there is plenty more action and drama to follow in our FA Cup games which you can check out right here.

    We'll be back tomorrow for Norwich's game at home to Blackburn. Catch you then!

    Preston 3-2 Coventry

    Preston move up to sixth in the Championship with a hard fought win over a feisty Coventry side who threw the kitchen sink at North End in the second half.

    Sky Blues will be gutted not to have got something out of this game.

    Plymouth 3-3 Middlesbrough

    We said at half time that this game could go either way at ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Park.

    An incredible battle between two hungry teams.

    Plymouth's Morgan Whittaker's free kick on the 77th minute gives them a share of the spoils.

    West Brom 3-1 Hull City

    Three wins on the trot for fifth-placed West Brom.

    Goals from Jed Wallace, Matty Phillips and Semi Ajayi do the job against Hull.

    Stoke 0-0 Cardiff

    No goals in either of the Championship games involving Welsh sides today.

    To be fair, 0-0 was probably a fair result in this one, though Ryan Wintle did miss a very late chance to snatch all three points for Cardiff.

    Both sides maintain their recent unbeaten runs in a game that will be quickly forgotten.

    Swansea 0-0 Sunderland

    Well, that was eventful.

    Swansea have had to play more than an hour with 10 men after Charlie Patino's first-half red card - but they've held on for a draw.

    Sunderland will wonder how they've not won this. They've hit the woodwork three times and missed a hatful of chances.

    But it could have been worse for Tony Mowbray's men, who have goalkeeper Anthony Patterson to thank for saving Jamal Lowe's first-half penalty.

    Stoke 0-0 Cardiff City

    Not a huge amount to report from Staffordshire this afternoon, with only four shots on target all match between both sides.

    To be fair, 0-0 was probably a fair result in this one, though Ryan Wintle did miss a very late chance to snatch all three points for Cardiff.

    Both sides maintain their recent unbeaten runs in a game that will be quickly forgotten.

    What a game at St. Andrew's.

    Ipswich fight back from 2-0 down to earn a point and deny Wayne Rooney his first win as Blues boss.

    Super sub Marcus Harness the hero for the Tractor Boys.

    Rotherham 1-1 QPR

    Good old ding-dong battle at the bottom of the table this.

    QPR took the lead through Ilias Chair but Georgie Kelly levelled for the home side.

    The result ends the R's run of six straight losses but does little for either teams' survival hopes.

    ... Not much doing in this one.

    One win in nine for Huddersfield now, while Watford are unbeaten in five.

    A tough end to a tricky week for Sheffield Wednesday.

    My word.

    What an end at The Den.

    I don't know how many times Southampton can keep getting away with these late goals to snatch victories.

    Heartbreak for Millwall.

    Ipswich have fought their way back into this one superbly and it is thanks to Marcus Harness who nets his second goal of the game.

    Ryan Fraser (90+3 mins)

    The wee man Ryan Fraser is the super sub again!

    Another late goal deep into stoppage time has given Southampton the lead.

    How many times are Saints going to do this? They love leaving it late.

    The Sky Blues are scrapping hard to get something out of this game.

    Again it is Haji Wright who is on point and in the right place at the right time.

    Josh Eccles has a shot saved and Wright is there to poke home the rebound.

    Grady Diangana has been electric! It’s his work that’s set up both goals down the left. He’s in a great run of form after scoring last time out, too.

    It was great work by him to set up sub Semi Ajayi up from the back.

    It’s hammering it down at The Hawthorns but the home fans are singing in the rain!
