Leads win 4-0 away to surge five points clear at top
Preston and Coventry boost playoff hopes
Daniel Farke hailed Leeds’s “top level” forwards after the emphatic 4-0 win at Watford increased their lead at the Championship summit to five points.
Dan James opened the scoring in the 20th minute after latching on to a misplaced pass from Edo Kayembe. The Wales winger made it 2-0 eight minutes later when Watford were caught out by a swift counterattack. Manor Solomon saw a shot deflected in for the third before half-time, with Joël Piroe slotting in the fourth midway through the second period aft ..read more

Mehmet Dalman says hopes that the player’s death in a plane crash would act as a catalyst to improve regulations have fallen short
On the sixth anniversary of Emiliano Sala’s death, Cardiff City’s chairman, Mehmet Dalman, hoped he would be able to speak about some good borne from tragedy: how the shocking loss of a player and the pilot of the plane that killed them had served as football’s wake-up call to ensure such a disaster would not happen again.
Instead, Dalman is still imploring football’s authorities to learn from Sala’s death and beef up regulation of the sport’s shady transfer i ..read more

Abu Kamara stars as Hull hold Leeds to 3-3 draw
Coventry left reeling by two late Norwich goals
Abu Kamara ended a difficult week with two goals as struggling Hull claimed a breathless 3-3 draw at home to Leeds, the league leaders.
Kamara apologised on Friday for posting “wrongly timed” emojis on former club Portsmouth’s Instagram account after Hull’s defeat to Middlesbrough on New Year’s Day. But redemption was as satisfying as it was dramatic as he bookended the scoring with a lovely early lob over a stranded Illan Meslier before scoring a precise shot after 89 minutes ..read more

After the big, bold buildup that accompanied Frank Lampard’s arrival as Coventry’s head coach, awkwardly his first match in charge was in danger of falling painfully flat. “Welcome, Frank,” was the message on the giant scoreboard in the South Stand. “A new era begins,” said the stadium announcer at kick-off, in keeping with the company line.
On Thursday, Lampard’s first day in the job, LED screens and banners around this ground trumpeted his entrance to the stage. In the club’s defence, as the chairman, Doug King, had said, a new manager is a novelty in these parts after almost eight years of ..read more

Jaidon Anthony’s first-half strike proved enough for Burnley to take three points from a 1-0 victory over Bristol City in a rousing Championship battle at Ashton Gate. The winning goal came on 23 minutes when Anthony found the roof of the net with a close-range shot after Max O’Leary had dived full length to palm a Josh Brownhill shot into his path.
Burnley were the better side for an hour, but had to withstand a fired-up finale from the home side, who came close to rescuing a point ..read more
