Jayson Molumby’s Millwall lost at home to Matt Clarke’s Derby County, with teenage midfielder Louie Sibley grabbing a hat-trick for the Rams in a 3-2 victory. The result leaves both teams still very much in the race for the play-offs, as Phillip Cocu’s side continue their hot run of form – the weekend’s win gave Derby their eighth win in their last 14 league outings. Both Molumby and Clarke played the full 90 minutes.
Goalkeeper Christian Walton had a fairly quiet afternoon in a 3-1 win for Blackburn Rovers against Bristol City, as they too continue their push for a place in the top six – the Lancashire side are just one point outside the play-off places. The 24-year-old stopper continued his run of not missing a single minute for his side this season, and the match marked his 38th appearance of the campaign.
