"Coventry City missed the chance to pull clear at the top of the Championship after playing out a frustrating 0-0 draw with struggling Oxford United on Saturday. With second-placed Middlesbrough not in action until Monday, Frank Lampard's side were unable to take advantage despite Will Lankshear's 77nd-minute sending off. Haji Wright tested Jamie Cumming early on before the visiting goalkeeper produced a brilliant save to deny Tatsuhiro Sakamoto's fizzing drive from just outside the penalty area."
"Elsewhere in the second tier, Ipswich Town improved their chances of automatic promotion after Leif Davis' late header clinched a 2-1 win over play-off chasing Derby County. The Tractor Boys had taken the lead when Lewis Travis inadvertently turned Anis Mehmeti's corner into his own net in the eighth minute at Pride Park. Rhian Brewster restored parity from the penalty spot just after the hour following Azor Matusiwa's foul on Bobby Clark inside the box."
Coventry City were held to a 0-0 draw by relegation-threatened Oxford United, missing an opportunity to extend their Championship lead with Middlesbrough not in action. Coventry produced numerous chances, including nine first-half shots, and saw Tatsuhiro Sakamoto's drive superbly saved by Jamie Cumming. Oxford went down to ten men when substitute Will Lankshear received two yellow cards, but Coventry could not convert the numerical advantage and have now gone three league matches without a win. Ipswich Town moved above Hull City after Leif Davis' stoppage-time header earned a 2-1 victory at Derby.
