An action-packed weekend in the Sky Bet Championship delivered goals, drama, and major twists at both ends of the table - headlined by Wrexham’s stunning 5–3 victory over Ipswich in the play-off race and Sheffield United’s derby triumph that confirmed Sheffield Wednesday’s relegation.

Wrexham Win 5–3 Thriller to Stay in Play-Off Hunt

Wrexham produced one of the standout results of the season with a breathless 5–3 win over Ipswich Town, a match that swung wildly before the hosts pulled clear late on.
The victory strengthens Wrexham’s play-off push while dealing a blow to Ipswich’s own top-six ambitions, with defensive frailties again costing the Tractor Boys at a crucial moment of the campaign.

Portsmouth Pull Clear of Drop Zone With Statement Win

In one of the weekend’s biggest shocks, Portsmouth earned a superb 3–1 away win at third‑placed Millwall.
The result lifts Pompey six points above the relegation places, rewarding a dynamic attacking performance and tightening Millwall’s grip on third but raising questions for the hosts after a flat display.

Birmingham and Watford Strengthen Positions With Key Wins

Birmingham City secured a gritty 2–1 win at Norwich City, further boosting their mid-table stability, while Watford claimed a confident 2–0 victory over Derby County, tightening their hold on the top half and leaving Derby still nervously looking over their shoulder.

Stalemates for Middlesbrough and Southampton

Play-off contenders Middlesbrough were frustrated in a 0–0 draw with Oxford United, failing to break down stubborn resistance.
Similarly, Southampton dropped valuable points after being held by a well-organised Charlton side, a result that slows the Saints’ push for automatic promotion.

Coventry March On at the Top

League leaders Coventry City maintained their commanding position with a professional 2–0 win over struggling West Bromwich Albion.
Goals from Ephron Mason-Clark and Jack Rudoni sealed the points, extending Coventry’s lead and deepening West Brom’s relegation worries during a poor run of form.

Late Stoke Strike Denies Leicester

Leicester City looked set for a vital victory until an 89th‑minute Stoke City equaliser rescued a dramatic 2–2 draw.
The Foxes, still chasing a play-off place, were left frustrated after failing to close out the match, while Stoke gained a precious point in their push for safety.

QPR and Swansea Claim Impressive Wins

QPR delivered one of the surprise results of the weekend by beating promotion‑chasing Hull City 3–1, a huge boost for Rangers in their survival fight.
Swansea City also impressed with a strong win over a stuttering Bristol City, keeping themselves clear of relegation danger.

Sheffield United Win the Steel City Derby — and Relegate Wednesday

High drama unfolded at Bramall Lane where Sheffield United defeated Sheffield Wednesday 2–1 in a fiery Steel City derby.
Despite Kalvin Phillips being sent off, the Blades held firm to secure a victory that — combined with Wednesday’s league position — confirmed the Owls’ relegation.
It is a crushing blow for Wednesday, while United savour one of the most significant derby wins in recent history.
