EFL Championship Round 37 In Review: Tuesday's Matches As They Happened

Huge changes in the play-off race and last minute equalisers: EFL Championship Tuesday games review

Tuesday night has treated us to some fantastic matches and huge moments that look set to be huge in the table sittings for the end of the season, here's the review of the first set of the midweek action in the EFL Championship.

Leicester vs Bristol City

All in all this was a fairly comfortable victory for the foxes and one that will be very welcomed at the King Power Stadium as this makes their first win in 10 league games and keeps them just above the drop zone however both Oxford and West Brom have a game in hand over them.

Leicester put the game to bed fairly early in the game with a goal in the 13th from Benjamin Nelson followed by a second from Abdul Fatawu Issahaku in the 28th. Keeper Stolarczyk will be looked at as the hero though after his penalty save in the 65th stopped a possible momentum shift and all but secured the win for the struggling former Premier League champions.

Millwall vs Derby County

Millwall succeeded in putting the pressure on Middlesborough for the automatic promotion spot as they managed to close the gap to just a point thanks to Josh Coburn's 43rd minute goal.

Both sides had chances with a 1.45xg for Millwall and 1.25xg for Derby however Coburn's was the only goal scored in the game. It was a very even affair with both clubs sharing the possession perfectly and in fact Derby had more big chances than the home side.

Portsmouth vs Swansea

Down on the South coast Portsmouth were unable to capitalise on what was a strong performance. They managed 59% of the possession and 0.94xg compared to their oppositions 0.71xg however they suffered yet another defeat which will make for a very nervy end to the season as they are now only 4 points clear of the drop.

Swansea went into the half with a comfortable 2-0 lead, courtesy of Ethan Galbraith in the 26th and Josh Key in the 39th, having had a very easy game for the most part. The second half was a different tale however as Portsmouth picked up the performance and mounted an attempt at the comeback with a Jacob Brown goal in the 64th minute however it was too little too late.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Watford

It was late drama in Yorkshire as Watford equalised in the 90th minute to end any hopes a slight bit of happiness in Sheffield Wednesday's season and frankly sum up their whole campaign.

With that said, Watford were comfortably the better team, they had 66% possession, 4 big chances and a 1.96xg. The game as a whole picked up drastically in the second half with Wednesday really getting into the game and going toe to toe with the visitors, Jerry Yates had them 1-0 up in the 54th minute and they looked all set to cling on to the victory. This was before a very overdue goal came in the 90th minute from Vivaldo Semedo to even up the score and potentially keep dreams of a play-off push alive for the hornets.

Wrexham vs Hull City

At the Racecourse a huge game between Wrexham and Hull took place which saw the away side cause an upset and propel themselves deeper in to the play-off spots in the process. Despite seeing far less of the ball than their opponents with only 37% of possession throughout the match the tigers cruised fairly easily to a win.

It was a comfortable first half for the away side as Joe Gelhardt put them 1-0 up in the 40th minute and Wrexham only managed 0.06xg. The second half however was much closer with Lewis Koumas making it 2-0 for Hull in the 63rd before weathering the storm for the rest of the game as Wrexham made in nervy via a Nathan Broadhead goal in the 76th.

Stoke City vs Ipswich Town

If it seemed like Watford had the biggest claim at late drama think again as Stoke managed to equalise in the 90+6th minute via a Milan Smit penalty. Smit had a huge game bagging a brace with the game opener as well in the 35th. This game was undoubtedly the best of the evening and may even be one of the best the Championship has seen this season.

Stoke ended the first half 2-0 up via Smit's opener and a Jun-Ho Bae finish in the 44th making it appear as though Stoke might cruise through the match. This was very much not the case as a 49th minute own goal from Eric Bocat, a 64th minute equaliser by Jack Taylor and an 82nd goal for the lead courtesy of George Hirst seemed as though the comeback had been complete.

The draw doesn't do much for Stoke all the way down in 15th, realistically they are safe from relegation barring an absolute nightmare as they are 12 points clear. For Ipswich there will be huge frustration as a win could've put huge pressure on both Millwall and Middlesborough for that coveted automatic promotion spot however they now sit 4 away instead of the 2 they were seconds away from having.
