Sheffield United fell to second place in the Championship after a surprising 1-0 loss to relegation-threatened Oxford United. This defeat followed Burnley's victory over Coventry City, which allowed Burnley to take the top spot. Despite the setback, Sheffield United remains in a strong position as Leeds United managed only a draw. Meanwhile, Bristol City secured a playoff spot with a win over Watford, and Plymouth Argyle's victory against Norwich helps them edge closer to safety in the league.
"After Burnley had beaten Coventry City 2-1 earlier in the day to go to the summit of the league, the Blades knew a victory of their own would see them reclaim top spot."
"Siriki Dembele's first-half strike separated the two teams, with Gary Rowett's side lifting themselves four points clear of the bottom three with six matches to play."
"The win - Argyle's second in nine games - saw the hosts move four points from safety with six games to play."
"Wells then made it 2-0 in controversial fashion, firing a low effort past Egil Selvik for his ninth goal of the season, though Watford claimed the ball had gone out in the build-up."
