Pukki bags brace as Canaries bounce back
Two-goal Teemu Pukki maintained his outstanding recent scoring form as Norwich eased past struggling Bolton 4-0 to move top of the Sky Bet Championship clash.
The prolific Finland striker netted for a sixth-successive game as Daniel Farke's side returned to winning ways to replace Leeds United at the summit.
Pukki then turned provider for German midfielder Marco Stiepermann as Norwich recovered in style from a 3-1 midweek defeat at Preston.
Emiliano Buendia added a third, nine minutes from half-time and - but for a couple of saves by City old boy Remi Matthews - Wanderers' interval deficit could have been even greater.
Pukki bagged a fourth in the second half, while Kenny McLean saw a penalty saved by Matthews to deny the East Anglian outfit what would have been a well-merited fifth goal.
Madine helps fire Blades to second
Sheffield United moved up to second in the Sky Bet Championship with a ruthless 4-0 victory at home to struggling Reading.
Kieron Freeman's goal after 38 seconds set the tone for what was a most authoritative display from Chris Wilder's side.
United soon made it two when Gary Madine scored his first goal for the club, before the Cardiff loan signing battered in a second after 44 minutes.
John Fleck's deflected strike after 49 minutes added further lustre to a scoreline which was an accurate reflection of a one-sided encounter.
Ipswich salvage late point as Stoke troubles continue on road
Ipswich remain nine points from safety at the bottom of the Championship despite Will Keane's goal in added time securing a 1-1 draw with Stoke at Portman Road.
A dreadful mix-up in the Town six-yard box between centre-back Jonas Knudsen and goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski led to James McClean putting the Potters ahead in the 42nd minute.
But Keane struck at the death to leave Stoke winless on the road since October last year.
Villans lose to Midlands rivals
First-half goals from Hal Robson-Kanu and Jay Rodriguez earned West Brom an impressive 2-0 away win over Birmingham rivals Aston Villa.
Albion had every reason to be delighted with the outcome as they consolidated their promotion push despite being without their leading goalscorer Dwight Gayle, suspended retrospectively for diving in the recent draw with Nottingham Forest.
Villa have struggled to find a winning formation in the absence of the talented Jack Grealish, who has now been absent for 13 games, a period in which they have only won twice.
The result was that Villa allowed the opposition to build a commanding lead with two goals in four minutes just before half-time.
This was a familiar tale as it was the eighth time in 11 games that they have trailed at the break.
On this occasion they were unable to catch up on missed opportunities as Albion recorded their ninth away win of the season.
Last-gasp goal for Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday scored in the 10th minute of time added on to claim a 2-2 draw they barely deserved at Rotherham in the Sky Bet Championship.
The Millers were on course to end 43 years of Wednesday domination in their own patch after goals from Jon Taylor and Richie Towell overturned Fernando Forestieri's opener.
But with referee Darren England allowing play to continue well past the allotted eight minutes of additional time, Dominic Iorfa converted from close range to steal a point for Wednesday, with Forestieri sent off for receiving two yellow cards in the aftermath to the goal.
It denied what should have been a first league home win over the Owls since 1976 and a crucial three points in their quest to beat the drop.
Wednesday, who have won nine and drawn three of 12 unbeaten games in Rotherham, remain undefeated under Steve Bruce.
Goalless at Deepdale
Nottingham Forest's play-off hopes suffered a dent after they were held to a 0-0 draw at Preston.
The visitors enjoyed the better of the game as they watched a number of first-half chances go begging.
Alex Milosevic, Joe Lolley and Yohan Benalouane all had opportunities before the break, while Lewis Grabban and Lolley had goals ruled out.
Despite their lacklustre display, Preston could themselves have won it, with Brad Potts having two good chances to give his side all three points.
But both sides lacked real quality as the game aimlessly drifted towards a stalemate in the final 15 minutes.
