Championship: Hogan scored as Birmingham hold Burnley

Burnley missed the chance to regain top spot in the Sky Bet Championship after they were held to a 1-1 draw by a resolute Birmingham City at St Andrew's, with Ireland international levelling for the hosts.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson handed the Clarets a 74th-minute lead just four minutes after coming off the bench.

But Hogan equalised just six minutes later to give John Eustace's side a deserved point.

The point for Vincent Kompany's side was not enough for them to retrieve pole position but it extended their unbeaten run to 12 league games.

There were chances for both sides as the teams tested each other's resolve.

Lyndon Dykes scored twice as Queen's Park Rangers moved to the top of the table with a 3-0 thrashing of 10-man Cardiff at Loftus Road.

Dykes struck a 19th-minute penalty after Jack Simpson was shown a straight red card for bringing down Sinclair Armstrong, then doubled his side's lead before the break.

Kenneth Paal added a third to make it four wins from five for Rangers, whose boss Michael Beale is set to hold talks with Wolves over their managerial vacancy this week.

Sheffield United also missed the chance to go back to the summit as they saw their winless streak extend to five games after a 1-0 defeat at Coventry.

The home side pushed throughout and got their reward three minutes from time when Martyn Waghorn converted a penalty to lift the Sky Blues off the bottom of the table.

Reports of the impending arrival of Michael Carrick inspired Middlesbrough to a thumping 4-1 win at Wigan, despite the Latics grabbing a 34th-minute lead through Will Keane.

Isaiah Jones equalised just before the break and second-half strikes from Duncan Watmore, Hayden Hackney and a Chuba Akpom penalty left Boro in full control.
