Jaidon Anthony’s first-half strike proved enough for Burnley to take three points from a 1-0 victory over Bristol City in a rousing Championship battle at Ashton Gate. The winning goal came on 23 minutes when Anthony found the roof of the net with a close-range shot after Max O’Leary had dived full length to palm a Josh Brownhill shot into his path.
Burnley were the better side for an hour, but had to withstand a fired-up finale from the home side, who came close to rescuing a point and claimed to be denied a clear penalty late on when a free-kick into the box skidded on to Brownhill’s arm.
Managerless Coventry twice came from a goal down to draw 2-2 with 10-man Sheffield United at the CBS Arena. Tyrese Campbell, who netted the winner in the Steel City derby last time out, opened the scoring for the Blades before Norman Bassette equalised with his first Sky Blues goal.
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi put Sheffield United back in front before the visitors had Anel Ahmedhodzic sent off after a rush of blood before half-time. Tempers boiled over when Ahmedhodzic reacted to something Bassette said and the defender got to his feet before grabbing the Coventry forward around the throat and pushing him to the floor.
Bobby Thomas equalised inside the final 10 minutes with a header from Jack Rudoni’s corner to give Rhys Carr a second straight draw as interim head coach.
Di’Shon Bernard cancelled out Ollie Tanner’s opener to earn Sheffield Wednesday a point in a 1-1 draw with Cardiff at Hillsborough. Tanner fired the Bluebirds ahead on 34 minutes as they sought a first win in three matches but it took just two minutes for Bernard to level.
The Bluebirds took the lead after a counterattack. Callum Robinson saw his effort saved by James Beadle but Tanner was there to score on the rebound.
The hosts were not behind for long. Yan Valery played in Josh Windass down the right and he squared across the penalty area for Bernard to tap in his first Championship goal for the Owls.
