Championship wrap: Sammie Szmodics finds net in Blackburn defeat

Sammie Szmodics scored for the fifth Sky Bet Championship game in succession but his Blackburn Rovers side eventually fell to a 3-1 defeat at basement side Sheffield Wednesday.

The Colchester-born Szmodics, who qualifies to play for the Republic of Ireland, equalised in the 65th minute after Bailey Cadamarteri's early goal, but late strikes from Marvin Johnson and Josh Windass secured just a second league win of the season for the Owls.

Szmodics now has seven goals in his last five outings and sits atop the Championship goalscoring charts with 14 strikes for the season.

Ireland goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu kept his second consecutive clean sheet, as Southampton were 2-0 winners at home to Cardiff City.

Adam Armstrong scored his 100th career league goal for the Saints inside 11 minutes, before adding another just four minutes later.

In the early kick-off, Harry Winks was the Leicester City hero with a stoppage-time winner in the Foxes' 2-1 victory at West Bromwich Albion.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s 72nd-minute header – his sixth goal of the season – put the Championship leaders ahead at The Hawthorns.

Substitute Josh Maja scrambled home a minute from time to seemingly rescue a point for Albion.

But Dewsbury-Hall squared for Winks to slide home the winner in the fourth minute of added time.

Ipswich Town kept up the pressure on Leicester with a 2-1 defeat of Coventry City at Portman Road and remain a point behind the Foxes.

George Hirst put Ipswich ahead after five minutes and Wales international Wes Burns added a beauty from the edge of the box just before half-time.

Coventry’s Matty Godden sent his 72nd-minute penalty against the crossbar before Brandon Williams induced a few late home nerves by putting the ball into his own net deep into
