• Managerless Coventry draw with Sheffield United
• Burnley win at Bristol City; Middlesbrough hit six

Sunderland were denied three points in dramatic circumstances as Millwall's Femi Azeez levelled three minutes into stoppage time, earning the hosts a 1-1 draw. Aaron Connolly's goal had put the Black Cats ahead in a a game heavily delayed by medical emergencies in the crowd, but they were unable to hold out.

Chris Wilder called Sheffield United's 2-2 draw at Coventry "a point gained", despite seeing his side pegged back twice in a hard-fought game at the CBS Arena. Tyrese Campbell opened the scoring before Norman Bassette scored his first Coventry goal. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi put the Blades back in front before they had Anel Ahmedhodzic sent off for grabbing Bassette by the throat and throwing him to the floor in a rush of blood just before half-time. Coventry piled on the pressure in the second half and Bobby Thomas headed them level with 10 minutes remaining.
