Jaidon Anthony's first-half strike was the decisive moment as Burnley secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bristol City in a thrilling Championship clash at Ashton Gate. The crucial goal arrived in the 23rd minute when Anthony expertly found the top corner with a close-range shot, capitalizing on a diving save by Max O'Leary who had initially blocked a shot from Josh Brownhill.
Burnley dominated the first hour but had to endure a spirited late surge from the home side, who nearly snatched a draw and felt aggrieved after a late free-kick appeared to hit Brownhill's arm in the box.
In another match, managerless Coventry City staged a remarkable comeback to draw 2-2 with 10-man Sheffield United at the CBS Arena. Tyrese Campbell put the Blades ahead, only for Norman Bassette to equalize with his maiden goal for the Sky Blues. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi restored Sheffield United's lead before Anel Ahmedhodzic was sent off just before halftime, sparking a heated confrontation with Bassette.
Bobby Thomas's header from Jack Rudoni's corner in the final 10 minutes ensured a second consecutive draw for interim head coach Rhys Carr.
Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff City shared the points in a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough. Ollie Tanner gave the Bluebirds the lead, but Di'Shon Bernard quickly equalized. Tanner's goal came from a rebound after James Beadle saved Callum Robinson's initial effort, while Bernard's equalizer was set up by a cross from Yan Valery to Josh Windass.
