Championship round-up: Bristol City dent Newcastle United’s title bid

There was relief for Steve Bruce and his Villans a James Chester close range header gave them a slim win over the Rams in the Midlands.

The goal, Chester’s first for the club, sees them move eight points clear of the relegation zone with eight games to play.

The high-flying Terriers’ automatic promotion bid took a hit as Marley Watkins’ late leveller helped the Tykes grab a point at Oakwell.

Michael Hefele had headed Huddersfield into the lead but Watkins stunned the visitors with a volley to equalise.

The Bees grabbed a stunning late win on home soil, which will leave the rock bottom Millers devastated, and a step closer to relegation.
