Hull City 2-1 Swansea City: Tigers hold on for third straight victory

By Total Football News

Hull head coach Sergej Jakirovic:

“It was a very difficult game for us, especially the third game in seven days.

“We are very happy because I think that was a battle from the first minute and we used our chances. Swansea especially first half didn’t use theirs, through [Zan] Vipotnik.

“Second half we dropped down, we didn’t control anything. They deserved to score but we didn’t lose our head after

Preston 0-1 Derby: Patrick Agyemang heads Rams to victory

By Total Football News

Both of these sides had been knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend with Preston losing at home to Wigan and the Rams losing 3-1 to Leeds at Pride Park.

Yet only one bounced back from that disappointment with Derby hitting their straps early on and largely keeping a flat Preston outfit on the backfoot all afternoon.

The chances, such as they were in a goalless first half, mostly

Watford 1-0 Stoke City: Luca Kjerrumgaard gives Watford victory

By Total Football News

In a first half of few chances, Louza came closest to opening the scoring with a low strike from outside the box which flew just wide of the post.

The visitors upped the tempo at the start of the second period in search of a goal and Sorba Thomas almost made his 300th career appearance a memorable one, but his close-range effort following Bosun Lawal’s cutback was blocked by some

By Total Football News

Harry Wilson set up two Fulham goals before scoring their third as they inflicted a seventh straight Premier League defeat on Burnley.

In an entertaining first half, the visitors led when the Wales forward’s low corner inexplicably beat Clarets full-back Quilindschy Hartman – who was supposedly defending the near post – allowing Emile Smith Rowe to divert in from three yards.

Despite their dismal form, Burnley responded well – Bernd

Oxford United 1-2 Preston North End: Daniel Jebbison secures victory

By Total Football News

Oxford fans might have hoped their good recent record against Preston, with six wins in their last 10 meetings, might help them out of a rut that has left them precariously sitting just above the bottom three.

The fact that Rowett had not previously tasted defeat as a manager against Preston, with eight wins and seven draws from 15 prior to this game, spread over spells with Birmingham, Derby,

Wolves 0-1 Nottingham Forest: Igor Jesus’ first Premier League goal earns victory

By Total Football News

Igor Jesus’ first Premier League goal condemned winless Wolves to another defeat as Nottingham Forest edged a poor game at Molineux.

The forward’s sixth of the season was enough for Sean Dyche’s side to recover immediately from Sunday’s home defeat by Brighton.

Defeat means rock-bottom Wolves have just two points, and the joint-worst record in Premier League history, with Sheffield United, after 14 games.

They are yet to win in

Blackburn Rovers 0-1 Queens Park Rangers: Paul Smyth header earns QPR Championship victory at Blackburn

By Total Football News

Off the back of an impressive 3-2 win over Hull on Saturday, QPR started on the front foot in Lancashire – although they were forced into a first-half change in goal when Ben Hamer collided with team-mate Steve Cook and was unable to continue.

Chair was denied by a sharp save from Blackburn goalkeeper Aynsley Pears, Kristi Montgomery blocked Karamoko Dembele’s goalbound shot behind for a corner and Jonathan Varane
