Both sides have had campaigns to forget, but the death of Ewood legend Parkes last week has put that into perspective, and Rovers’ rise out of danger under O’Neill had also engendered optimism among the home fans.
It was Leicester who looked most likely to score in a lacklustre first half, as Rovers keper Balazs Toth did well to keep out Harry Souttar’s header before parrying Mavididi’s effort. He then
Wednesday had started brightly with Svante Ingelsson looking lively down the left, but an excellent first-time pass from the recalled Rhian Brewster put Brereton-Diaz through for Derby’s opener as the Chile striker finished well from the edge of the box.
The same two combined three minutes later as a stretching unmarked Brereton-Diaz put a low cross over the bar from eight yards.
But three minutes later the Owls were level
Queens Park Rangers climbed into the Championship play-off places after a fourth victory in five matches thanks to a dramatic late winner against Birmingham City.
Centre-back Jimmy Dunne gave QPR a first-half lead but Patrick Roberts seemed to have earned Blues a point with an equaliser in the third minute of stoppage time.
Their celebrations were shortlived, however, as the home side won it in the 96th minute through teenage
A subdued opening was brought to life when Maja, back in Albion’s starting line-up at the expense of Aune Heggebo, found Sammy Iling-Junior on the right flank.
The on-loan winger swept past his man and sent in a low cross that was not fully cleared. Isaac Price was alive to the threat, delivering a low cross from the right that Maja converted at the far post.

After their 1-0 defeat at third-placed Nottingham Forest last weekend, Capello gave an interview to Spanish newspaper El Mundo in which, while praising Guardiola’s tactics, he said the City manager was “arrogant” and had “caused enormous damage” to Italian football because coaches tried to imitate his tactics.
Guardiola was clearly aware of the comments, given the manner in which he acknowledged them when a question was asked before Saturday’s league
Robins, dismissed by Coventry last November after seven-and-a-half years in charge, was warmly applauded by the crowd and his side started strongly, controlling midfield and repeatedly breaching the Sky Blues’ backline in the opening 15 minutes.
Ben Pearson’s threaded pass picked out Lewis Koumas in space, but his first-time attempt was tipped behind by Oliver Dovin and Ali Al-Hamadi might also have done better with a shot that was charged
The meeting of two sides managed by former Manchester United team-mates Carrick andTom Cleverley saw both in dire need of a win, both having lost four of their previous five games to slide out of play-off contention.
Having won the reverse fixture at Vicarage Road earlier in the season, the Hornets were seeking their first league double over Boro since 1989-90 and after weathering early pressure which saw Tommy Conway
Omar Marmoush introduced himself as Manchester City’s own ‘Egyptian king’ with a superb 14-minute hat-trick against Newcastle to send Pep Guardiola’s side fourth in the Premier League.
Marmoush, who joined City for £59m from Eintracht Frankfurt last month, clearly has a long way to go before he can get close to the authentic Liverpool version – but broke his scoring duck in style after four matches without a goal.
