Sky Bet Championship review

Nelson Oliveira's spectacular late strike saw Norwich grab a point in stoppage-time for the second time in four days as they drew 2-2 with Sky Bet Championship leaders Wolves at Molineux.

A Jamal Lewis own goal and Alfred N'Diaye's header appeared to have the hosts - who are odds-on at 1/25 with Sky Bet to win the title - cruising midway through the first half, but Christoph Zimmermann swiftly pulled one back and the Canaries were good value for their point.

Timm Klose had snatched a draw in Sunday's East Anglia derby and the Canaries repeated the trick as substitute Oliveira beat John Ruddy at his near post with a 35-yard effort in added time.

The draw went to as big as 100/1 in Sky Bet's in-play betting just before Oliveira netted.

There was also late drama at Pride Park as Kasey Palmer rescued Derby with a stoppage-time strike as a pulsating game against Leeds ended 2-2.

Leeds appeared to be heading for victory when Ezgjan Alioski put then in front with 10 minutes to go but Palmer pounced in a crowded area to score his first goal for Derby.

Pierre-Michel Lasogga had earlier put Leeds in front in the first half before Andreas Weimann punished a defensive mistake just before half-time.

Cardiff (Sky Bet's second-favourites at 16/1 to win the title) moved four points clear of the chasing pack in the race to finish second in the Championship as Kenneth Zohore's scrambled goal earned a 1-0 win at Ipswich.

The striker almost collapsed onto the ball before prodding in after 65 minutes as Neil Warnock's second-placed side boosted their promotion prospects.

Bobby Reid's 16th goal of the season earned Bristol City a 1-1 draw from a superb clash against Fulham at Ashton Gate.

Aleksandar Mitrovic fired the visitors in front after 14 minutes, reacting quicker than City defenders to a cleverly-angled ball towards the six-yard box from Cyrus Christie and planting a shot past Frank Fielding from close range.

But Lee Johnson's men levelled after 35 minutes as Reid played a neat one-two with Josh Brownhill inside the area, creating space to beat Marcus Bettinelli with a left-footed finish from a narrow angle.

Sky Bet League One review

MK Dons succeeded where Tottenham failed in keeping Rochdale at bay in a goalless draw at the Crown Oil Arena.

Dale had the better of the contest without ever recapturing the highs of their performance before a national TV audience at the weekend in the FA Cup fifth-round against Premier League opponents.

In the end it was a result which suited neither side, with both teams stuck in the Sky Bet League One bottom four.
