Jamie Vardy continued to defy age for Leicester City, while Huddersfield Town pulled off a stunning win under caretaker manager Jon Worthington. Meanwhile, Blackburn Rovers are in a downward spiral. In the latest round of the Championship, these were just some of the highlights.
Huddersfield’s 4-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday was unexpected, especially with the team’s recent managerial changes. Matty Pearson’s goal and a flurry of goals in the final minutes secured the crucial win, pushing Wednesday eight points away from safety. As for Huddersfield, their focus can now shift to finding a permanent manager.
At 37 years old, Jamie Vardy’s contract with Leicester is expiring and the striker seems to be on a farewell tour. His two goals in a 5-0 win over Stoke City indicate that he is still a force to be reckoned with, and Leicester’s strong position in the Championship points towards a successful end to Vardy’s illustrious career.
Meanwhile, Blackburn Rovers are struggling both on and off the pitch. Their loss to QPR was part of a dismal run of form, and financial issues off the pitch are adding to their woes. It’s a worrying time for the club as they are dangerously close to the relegation zone.
On the bright side, loanee Joe Hodge made an instant impact for QPR, helping them secure a crucial win over Blackburn Rovers. His contribution as a substitute turned the game in QPR’s favor, showing the potential impact of loan signings in a team’s performance.
