Championship: Aaron Connolly on the mark again for Hull

Aaron Connolly was among the goalscorers as Hull moved into the Championship play-offs with a 3-2 home victory over Blackburn Rovers.

Connolly, who has thrived since his move to the MKM Stadium, made it 2-0 for the hosts on 18 minutes, this after Liam Delap capitalised on some poor defending to open the scoring on 11.

After controlling a long ball, Connolly cushioned a half-volley home to score his eight league goal of the season.

The visitors reduced the deficit on 33 minutes. Ireland international hopeful Sammie Szmodics had the nous to spot Hull goalkeeper Matt Ingram off his line before expertly chipping home for his 15th goal of the season.

Harry Pickering - on his 25th birthday and 100th start for the club - made it 2-2 deep into first-half injury time when he was played into the penalty area on the overlap. Ingram might have done better but a slight deflection skewed the ball from his grasp.

Hull got the winner on 63 as Rovers failed to clear Tyler Morton's corner from the left and Alfie Jones scraped the ball into the net from three yards.

Blackburn, who have now lost four games on the spin, were reduced to 10 men when Dominic Hyam was sent off for a second bookable offence after 74 minutes.

Leicester continued their relentless march at the top of the table with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Cardiff.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and James Justin were on target with strikes that were as pure as Leicester's command was total.

This was Leicester's 20th win from 25 league games as the Foxes continue to hunt down Reading's record Championship points total of 106 set in the 2005-06 season.

Enzo Maresca's side were unruffled to complete a season's double over their Cardiff hosts, who harbour play-off hopes but have now only won once in
