Judging by the current part of the season, there will be a big fight for placement in the Premier League in the Championship until the very end. This is supported by today's results, after which the difference between first-placed VBA and sixth-placed Bristol City is six points.
VBA ended a streak of seven matches without a win in this competition. Slaven Bilić's team easily defeated Luton (2:0) at "Hawthorns" today and returned to the top of the second division caravan.
"Vrečice" took the lead in the 14th minute, when Daniels shook his own net. Adžai set the final score.
The team from the West Midlands returned to first place thanks to Leeds' surprising defeat against Wigan (0:1) at "Eland Road". A goal worth three points was scored by Wigan in the 59th minute - Williams took a corner, the ball caught Pablo Hernandez and ended up in the goal.
It was only Wigan's second away win this season. "Latics" are the only team that has beaten Leeds twice at the "Eland" since the arrival of Marcelo Bielsa in Yorkshire.
Otherwise, during the entire match, Leeds attacked, created chances, but the Marshall net remained intact.
Aleksandar Mitrović returned to the field in style after his injury. Mitrović scored a goal today, and Fulham beat Huddersfield 3:2. The team from London had a three-goal advantage after half an hour of play, but the guests managed to score two goals by the end of the half and bring uncertainty into the match. However, in the second part of the net, the nets were inactive, so Fulham rose to third place after today's triumph.
Mitrovic scored his 19th goal in the Championship this season and shares top spot in the goalscoring list with Brentford's Ollie Watkins, who scored today away to Hull.
After a turnaround, Nottingham Forest was defeated by Birmingham - 2:1. The "Foresters" took the lead with a goal by Silva, and the home team turned it around with goals from Hogan and Pedersen. Forest have a lot to regret, as Luis Graban missed a penalty while leading his team.
A valuable victory was recorded by Bristol City. Lee Johnson's team defeated the guests of KPR, and the only goal was scored by Diedija. After today's triumph, Bristol City is in sixth place, which leads to the playoffs...
