Championship wrap: Szmodics on the scoresheet again

The Championship's leading scorer Sammie Szmodics was again among the goals as John Eustace's first game in charge of Blackburn Rovers ended with a 3-1 win over Stoke City.

Szmodics - who was called up to Republic of Ireland squads during Stephen Kenny's tenure but has yet to be capped – plundered his 22nd goal of the campaign with a brace from Tyrhys Dolan.

Irish midfielder Jason Knight was on the scoresheet for Bristol City in a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough.

Two goals inside two first-half minutes from Knight and Matty James saw the visitors leaves with all three points.

Southampton did it the hard way as they increased their unbeaten run to 25 matches, beating Huddersfield 5-3 in a thriller.

Saints were 2-0 and 3-2 down to the relegation battlers with Sorba Thomas, David Kasumu and Alex Matos on target for managerless Town.

But a Joe Rothwell double, a Tom Lees own goal and strikes from Sekou Mara and Samuel Edozie kept Southampton second, a point ahead of Leeds who beat Rotherham.

United remain unbeaten at home this campaign and made light work of seeing off the Millers 3-0. Patrick Bamford got their first and then Crysencio Summerville extended his tally for the season to 15 with a brace, with one from the spot.

For their part runaway leaders Leicester won again, this time 2-1 at Watford. Patson Daka put them ahead from the spot 11 minutes in and Ricardo Pereira added a second after the break, with Emmanuel Dennis pulling one back to no avail.

In the early kick-off, Ipswich's recent slide off the pace in the automatic hunt continued as they drew 2-2 at home to West Brom.

They got a draw thanks to Omari Hutchinson's stoppage-time goal, having twice trailed to goals from Tom Fellows and John Swift. Nathan Broadhead cancelled out
