Sunderland wasted the chance to enter the Championship play-off zone after failing to see off 10-man Swansea.<\/p>\n
The Swans were rocked by the 29th-minute dismissal of midfielder Charlie Patino, but Sunderland couldn\u2019t capitalise.<\/p>\n
Two yellow cards for fouls on playmaker Pierre Ekwah earned Arsenal loanee Patino a red from referee Robert Madley. But Swansea defied all their opponents\u2019 attacking efforts.<\/p>\n
Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray side: \u2018We are all frustrated, we were at our best with 11 v 11. Credit to them, they worked hard, they got their bodies in the way. I\u2019m disappointed we couldn\u2019t put the ball in the net.\u2019<\/p>\n
Swansea would have led at half-time had striker Jamal Lowe not missed a penalty in time added on.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Swansea had Charlie Patino sent off for a foul on Sunderland’s Pierre Ekwah<\/p>\n
Sunderland defender Luke O\u2019Nien pulled down centre-back Harry Darling in the box, but Anthony Patterson saved Lowe\u2019s effort brilliantly.<\/p>\n
Swans boss Michael Duff said: \u2018To play that long with 10 men against one of the best teams in the league showed spirit.\u2019<\/p>\n

Steven Schumacher praised his Plymouth side for their character.\u00a0<\/p>\n He said: \u2018If we play as well as we do then we have got to get points. \u2018So I am pleased we got a point. I thought it was a great game, two good teams who obviously like to attack. There were moments of quality and passages of good play. \u2018We are getting better and we can only learn and develop so that\u2019s what I want them to do, what I believe and hopefully what our fans like to see.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n Boro boss Michael Carrick added: \u2018We did enough to win the game, a lot of the performance was good, we didn\u2019t give them an awful lot and what we did give them they punished us for. \u2018We were terrific in the second half and they had a free kick that came from nowhere going at the back post and it is what it is.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Morgan Whittaker scored a late equaliser as Plymouth drew 3-3 against Middlesbrough<\/p>\n Huddersfield 0-0 Watford\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Huddersfield and Watford played out a drizzly draw in West Yorkshire, and the hosts\u2019 manager Darren Moore was satisfied with a point.\u00a0<\/p>\n He said: \u2018The main thing for me was the clean sheet. \u2018We worked incredibly hard in getting that clean sheet and having that mentality. \u2018I know the goalkeeper and defenders will get the plaudits, but it was a massive team effort.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n Watford have now stretched their unbeaten run to five. Head coach Valerien Ishmael said: \u2018I told the players It\u2019s nice to see we\u2019re getting disappointed after not winning away.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Darren Moore was satisfied with a point after Huddersfield drew with Watford<\/p>\n Preston 3-2 Coventry<\/span><\/p>\n Mark Robins has urged his Coventry side to build on their second-half showing against Preston despite suffering their fourth straight loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n Haji Wright put the visitors ahead before Duane Holmes equalised, and Preston skipper Alan Browne put the hosts in front from the spot before half-time.\u00a0<\/p>\n Milutin Osmajic headed North End\u2019s third after the break, before Wright grabbed his and Coventry\u2019s second before full-time.\u00a0<\/p>\n Robins said: \u2018We showed the intent that our team shows generally and has done for years and we\u2019ve got to hold on to that.\u2019 Preston boss Ryan Lowe added: \u2018I\u2019m just pleased for the lads, they\u2019ve been working hard.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Milutin Osmajic celebrates after scoring Preston’s third goal in their win against Coventry<\/p>\n Bristol City 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday<\/span><\/p>\n Curtis Fleming made a successful start to his spell as Bristol City interim head coach thanks to Rob Dickie\u2019s second half goal at Ashton Gate.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, Fleming admitted his future is uncertain. \u2018I am just taking things day by day,\u2019 he said. \u2018I will enjoy a glass of beer and then see what the club\u2019s plans are going forward.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n Rob Dickie\u2019s close-range strike from Tommy Conway\u2019s cross was enough to secure the points against opponents reduced to 10 men after 32 minutes when Barry Bannan was shown a straight red for fouling Jason Knight on the edge of the box.<\/p>\n West Brom 3-1 Hull<\/span><\/p>\n Carlos Corber\u00e1n was pleased with his West Brom side\u2019s display against fellow play-off contenders Hull.

Matt Phillips grabbed his third goal of the season in the second half to put the hosts back in-front before Semi Ajayi secured the points.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hull head coach Liam Rosenior said: \u2018We were in complete control, and we got a young team, and we gift the goal away.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Matt Phillips celebrates his goal for West Bromwich Albion in their victory against Hull<\/p>\n Stoke 0-0 Cardiff<\/span><\/p>\n Erol Bulut praised the progress of his Cardiff side despite being held by Stoke. Callum Robinson came the closest to breaking the deadlock for the visitors in the first half as his deflected cutback ricocheted off the post.\u00a0<\/p>\n And his teammate Ryan Wintle, who scored in the same fixture last season, nearly notched a late winner but was denied by Jack Bonham. \u2018I\u2019m really happy with my players; they\u2019ve made big progress,\u2019 said Bulot.

He said: \u2018The game was relatively level and on the back of last weekend I would have taken that given the fragility of the confidence of the squad.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New QPR head coach\u00a0Marti Cifuentes wasn’t happy with his side’s point against QPR<\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\nIT’S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n
