  • Waddingham scores fortunate late winner for Pompey

Thomas Waddingham earned in-form Portsmouth a come-from-behind 2-1 victory against Millwall at Fratton Park. Jake Cooper’s attempted clearance ricocheted off Waddingham and into the net in the 82nd minute to settle an error-strewn contest.

Jenson Metcalfe had put the visitors ahead early on after a mistake from the Portsmouth goalkeeper, Nicolas Schmid, but it was quickly cancelled out by Lyndon Dykes’s own goal.

Waddingham’s fortunate winner means Portsmouth have won three of their last four matches while Millwall have taken just six points from their last seven games.

Patrick Bamford was injured in the act of scoring Sheffield United’s equaliser in a 1-1 draw with 10-man Derby at Bramall Lane. Bobby Clark gave the visitors a first-half lead with Bamford levelling the scores in the 79th minute, only to go off after falling awkwardly.

Norwich halted a six-match losing streak with a 3-1 comeback win at Charlton to ease pressure on their head coach, Philippe Clement. Charlie Kelman fired Charlton into an early lead, but Paris Maghoma equalised for the visitors, who then went ahead through Mathias Kvistgaarden and wrapped up victory via an Ivan Mesik own goal.

It was Chalton’s first defeat at The Valley this season and they are now without a victory in nine Championship matches.

On Friday, Will Lankshear scored twice as a Middlesbrough battered Bolton 5-1. Aidan Morris, in-form Lankshear and a Lewis Brunt own goal before half-time set the Teessiders on the way to a 10th successive win over their hosts in a run stretching back to 2014.

Thelonius Bair gave Steven Schumacher’s side hope in the second minute of first half stoppage-time but the former Bolton loanee Amario Cozier-Duberry, who contributed nine goals and 10 assists for the Trotters in League One last season, made the points safe after 73 minutes. Lankshear added a fifth five minutes later with his 11th league goal.

The win was enough to take Middlesbrough top overnight, but they will be deposed if Swansea or West Ham win on Saturday afternoon. The Swans are at ninth-placed QPR, while the Hammers – who won in south Wales last weekend – host a Southampton side who would be fourth but for their Spygate points deduction.
