- Stoke 2-1 Oxford United
Coventry come from behind — Rudoni & Wright turn game around
Coventry overturned Sheffield United to win 2-1, with Rudoni and Wright turning the game around. The victory put Coventry five points clear at the summit once again and further dented Sheffield United's already slim play-off hopes. That result also created a notable run for Frank Lampard's Sky Blues: it was their third win in a row for the first time since November. Are they shoo-ins for the Premier League now?
Norwich and the relegation picture
Norwich beat relegated Sheffield Wednesday 2-0, with Kvistgaarden and Maghoma netting. The win left Norwich with an eight-point buffer over the drop-zone after seeing off Sheffield Wednesday in routine fashion.
Stoke 2-1 Oxford United — Cisse, Brown and Rak-Sakyi
Stoke edged Oxford United 2-1, a result that just about keeps Stoke's play-off hopes alive. Lamine Cisse slotted the Potters into the lead only for Ciaron Brown to equalise just before the break. Moments after Will Lankshear headed against the bar for Oxford, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi put Stoke back ahead with a header — his first goal for the club. The scoring sequence can be summarised as Cisse and Rak-Sakyi scoring either side of Brown's goal for Oxford. The victory was Stoke's first in eight games and cut the gap to the play-off places to seven points. Oxford remain deep in trouble and are now six games without a win.
Extra match detail: an unusual substitution
An odd late moment in the Stoke game saw Milan Smit come on to replace Lamine Cisse for about 20 seconds.
