Plymouth Argyle managed to secure a point in a 2-2 draw against Bristol City. This was their first match since Wayne Rooney's departure as manager. The Pilgrims had to fight back twice, with Julio Pleguezuelo scoring the equaliser in the 91st minute. Anis Mehmeti initially put Bristol ahead in the 32nd minute after receiving a pass from Nahki Wells.

Rami Al Hajj brought Plymouth level five minutes into the second half. However, Jason Knight quickly restored Bristol's lead with a skilful finish just six minutes later. Pleguezuelo then volleyed home from a set-piece in the dying moments to ensure Plymouth earned a point. Despite this, they remain at the bottom of the table, four points away from safety.

Bristol City currently sit eighth, just one point shy of the play-off spots. Meanwhile, Watford missed an opportunity to break into the top six after suffering a 3-1 defeat at Queen's Park Rangers. Michael Frey and Jimmy Dunne scored for QPR in the first half, putting them in control by halftime.

Kwadwo Baah gave Watford hope with a goal ten minutes into the second half. However, Sam Field quickly restored QPR's two-goal advantage following excellent play by Paul Smyth on the wing. As a result of this loss, Watford are now seventh, level on points with Middlesbrough who are sixth.

QPR have climbed to 15th place after securing their fourth consecutive home win and are now eight points clear of relegation danger. Oxford United also celebrated success with a narrow 1-0 victory over Millwall. This marked Gary Rowett's return to The Den as Oxford’s manager, having previously managed Millwall from 2019 to 2023.

Oxford United's Winning Streak

Ruben Rodrigues scored the decisive goal for Oxford by heading in Przemyslaw Placheta’s precise cross. This win places Oxford 18th in the Championship standings, six points above relegation but having played one more game than others around them.
