Cardiff closed the gap at the top of the table thanks to a late winner from Kenneth Zohore Zohore came off the bench and rifled into an empty net from close with just eight minutes left RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Championship round-up: Aston Villa come from behind to edge...

Sunderland 3-3 Middlesbrough: Six goals and two red cards
This game had everything and yet it's most dramatic act was saved for the 96th minute when Callum McManaman equalised for Sunderland before charging into the Middlesbrough dugout and cocking his ear at his former West Brom boss Tony Pulis - it was a fitting finale.The goal salvaged a point for the Championship's bottom club after a derby in which both sides surrendered the lead and had a man sent off.Jake Clarke-Salter and Boro's Adama Traore were dismissed before half-time. Sunderland were leading 1-0 at the break thanks to Joel Asoro but two early second-half goals from Patrick Bamford and Grant Leadbitter reversed the scoreline. Sunderland's Callum McManaman scored late on to have the final say against Middlesbrough McManaman hit the sixth goal of a Tees–Wear derby that also witnessed two red cards Sunderland manager Chris Coleman congratulated McManaman at full time on Saturday MATCH FACTS AND LEAGUE TABLE Sunderland (5-3-2): Camp 4; Matthews 5, O’Shea 6, Kone 5, Clarke-Salter 3, Oviedo 6.5; Honeyman 6 (McGeady 79, 5), Cattermole 7, McNair 5 (Williams 42, 6.5); Asoro 6.5, Maja 6 (McManaman 65, 7)Subs not used: Steele, Jones, Browning, RobsonScorers: Asoro 11, Williams 58, McManaman 90Bookings: Maja, McGeady, OviedoSent off: Clarke-SalterBoro: Randolph 5; Shotton 6, Ayala 5.5, Gibson 6, Friend 5.5; Besic 7, Leadbitter 7 (Clayton 76, 5); Traore 5, Bamford 8, Downing 6 (Howson 77, 5); Assombalonga 6 (Harrison 64, 5.5)Subs not used: Dimi, Cranie, Fry, BakerScorers: Bamford 50 and 68, Leabitter 53 penBookings: LeadbitterSent off: TraoreStar man: BamfordAtt: 29,048Ref: T Robinson 7 Season at a glance Live tables Fixtures Scores Championship Premier League Championship League One League Two Scottish Premiership Scottish Div 1 Scottish Div 2 Scottish Div 3 Ligue 1 Serie A La Liga Bundesliga More tables More fixtures More scores Jonny Williams levelled before Bamford got his second with what looked like the winning goal. McManaman, though, struck at the death to claim a point and in doing so make one to Pulis, the man he blames for his lack of game time at West Brom.The contest was just 40 seconds old when Asoro, with a signal of Sunderland's intent, lashed narrowly over from 25 yards.That may well have been a range-finder for the Swede but his goal was all about instinct, prodding home from barely three yards out after stealing between defenders Daniel Ayala and Ryan Shotton to connect with striker partner Josh Maja's headed flick.

Sunderland 0-2 Brentford: Chris Coleman's relegation woes continue
Sunderland passed up the chance to boost their Sky Bet Championship survival hopes as Brentford won 2-0 on their first ever visit to the Stadium of Light.The Bees secured the three points courtesy of two first-half goals and a solid opening 45 minutes, leaving the struggling Black Cats with a mountain to climb after the interval.Brentford capitalised on Sunderland's woeful start by following up Kamo Mokotjo's 14th-minute opener with a second goal in the 28th minute through striker Neal Maupay.

Wolves face FA probe over links to super agent Jorge Mendes Share this article Share The latest defeat for Sunderland - who have won just two of their last 26 matches on Wearside - left Chris Coleman's side three points adrift of safety, having played a game more than fourth-bottom Hull.Brentford had lost touch with the play-off places in recent weeks, winning just two of their previous seven matches and losing four of those, but this win will have restored hope.Manager Dean Smith's frustrations had grown, although nothing like what has been felt on Wearside this season, and Sunderland manager Coleman was desperate to see a positive performance on the back of last weekend's dramatic 3-3 draw at Bristol City.The Welshman introduced Aiden McGeady and Ethan Robson to his starting line-up and switched to a four-man defence.The tactics failed to have the desired effect because, for the second week in a row, Sunderland had it all to do after the break. Neal Maupay (left) doubled the lead for the visitors before the half-hour mark on Saturday Saturday's defeat leaves Chris Coleman's Black Cats three points adrift of safetyThe visitors were on the front foot from the first whistle, forcing four corners in as many minutes in the hope of increasing the tension among the home fans. It worked.Ollie Watkins and Henrik Dalsgaard had already been denied by goalkeeper Lee Camp, the second a fantastic chance that was directed straight at him, before the opener arrived.Maupay held the ball up, spotted Mokotjo lurking in space and the midfielder's low driven first-time shot from 20 yards rolled inside Camp's bottom-left corner.Republic of Ireland international McGeady had an effort held by David Bentley, but Sunderland disappointed across the pitch.Maupay was the scorer of the second when he cleverly flicked a Watkins low delivery from the right inside Camp's near post. Brentford found far too much space in the Sunderland half throughout.The hosts did have a couple of moments before the break. George Honeyman hit the crossbar on the stroke of half-time and
