Brentford have equalized 1-1 , 10 minutes to go

Huddersfield drew 1-1 with Brentford. That result moves the Londoners up to 3rd place in the table above Swansea on goal difference and they still have a game in hand over the teams above them. Automatic promotion is still a possibility for them although it looks less likely than it did a few weeks ago.

Sheffield Wednesday hammered Cardiff 5-0 this evening. Mick McCarthy`s team will now most likely miss out on a playoff place while the Owls have given themselves an outside chance of escaping relegation. Bournemouth beat Blackburn 2-0 away which keeps their hopes of a playoff place very much alive. Middlesbrough drew 1-1 with Watford which is a blow to the Hornets` chances of automatic promotion. Swansea had a shock 1-0 defeat at home to Preston and they stay in 4th place. Reading beat Derby 3-1 and Barnsley beat Luton 2-1 which leaves both teams still on course for a playoff place. Coventry beat Bristol City 3-1, Notts Forest beat QPR by the same scoreline, Millwall beat Stoke 2-1 and in a relegation zone meeting Wycombe beat Rotherham 3-0 which still leaves both sides facing the drop to League One although the Yorkshire club do have several games in hand over all the other teams.
