Sunday Round-Up

Cardiff City enjoyed a 3-1 home victory over strugglers Watford. Goals from Ross McCormack, Peter Whittingham and Chris Burke saw The Bluebirds maintain their playoff push as they opened up a 5 point margin between themselves and 7th placed Sheffield United. With the tie all but over, Heidar Helguson netted his eighth league goal of the season with a consolation on 93 minutes. Watford, in 19th place, sit just 3 points above the drop zone with 10 matches left to secure their Championship status.

Two first half Andy King goals and playoff-chasing Leicester City appeared to have given them complete control in this afternoon's home tie against Coventry. But The Sky Blues made a confident comeback in the second half to take a share of the spoils in front of the BBC cameras. Stuart McPake struck 8 minutes after the restart to bring Chris Coleman's side back into contention. It wasn't until Gary Deegan's 87th minute strike that the comeback was complete. There was a question of offside about the goal. Freshly introduced loanee Freddie Spears was stood in an offside position as Martin Cranie mis-hit an effort back into the box in the build-up to the equaliser, but whether or not he interfered with play was questionable.
