Brentford underlined their promotion credentials with a 7-2 demolition of Wycombe, while Championship leaders Norwich were held to a 0-0 draw by Middlesbrough on Saturday. Daniel Farke's side are in pole position for an immediate return to the Premier League. But they stuttered at Carrow Road as Emi Buendia was sent off for the fourth time in his Norwich career, picking up a second yellow card for a needless lunge on George Saville midway through the second half. Second-placed Swansea, four points behind Norwich, extended their unbeaten run to nine games in all competitions with a 3-1 win at Rotherham. Conor Hourihane and Matt Grimes put the Swans in control before the break. Freddie Ladapo pulled one back in the 65th minute, but Jay Fulton made sure of the points. Third-placed Brentford are just two points behind Swansea with a game in hand after crushing bottom of the table Wycombe. The sides went in level at the break as Wycombe's Uche Ikpeazu and Admiral Muskwe cancelled out goals from Ethan Pinnock and Tariqe Fosu. But Fosu's second put the Bees back in front before Ivan Toney scored a brace, one from the spot, and Sergi Canos and Josh Dasilva also added to the scoring in a stunning second-half display. Blackburn moved to within striking distance of the play-off places with a 1-0 win over Luton thanks to Adam Armstrong's late header. Wayne Rooney's Derby boosted their survival bid with a 1-0 win against Bristol City. An early goal from Colin Kazim-Richards was enough to earn a third straight victory under former Manchester United and England star Rooney. Stoke are still searching for their first win of 2021 as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Huddersfield. Sheffield Wednesday moved to within four points of safety as they recorded a fourth consecutive home win, beating Preston 1-0 at Hillsborough thanks to Liam Palmer's first-half goal. Fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest were held to a goalless draw by Barnsley. Mick McCarthy is still seeking his first win in charge of Cardiff but was grateful for a point as Kieffer Moore rescued a 1-1 draw against Millwall. Moore scored with 19 minutes left in south Wales after Aden Flint's early own goal put Millwall in control. Birmingham's winless run at home extended to 10 games as they were held to a 1-1 draw by their tenants Coventry at St Andrew's. smg/mw
