Michael Chopra netted his first goal under Mick McCarthy’s management in the final minute as the Blues came from behind to win 2-1 at Bolton Wanderers. The home side had gone in front through Mark Davies in the first half, but DJ Campbell equalised from the spot after Daryl Murphy had been fouled, then Chopra completed the job at the death.
Town fell to their second successive hammering on the road as Mick McCarthy’s men were thoroughly outclassed by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. David Nugent took his record to 11 goals in 11 games against the Blues with two early goals, the first a penalty, with Lloyd Dyer, Anthony Knockaert, Martyn Waghorn and Marko Futacs netting the rest.
Mick McCarthy’s return to Molineux ended in victory as a goal in each half from Aaron Cresswell and DJ Campbell saw the Blues to a comfortable 2-0 win over their manager’s old club Wolves. Cresswell netted the opener in the 33rd minute with Campbell slotting home his 10th of the season on 64.
DJ Campbell scored twice and Daryl Murphy once as Town beat Millwall 3-0 at Portman Road to halt the Lions’ unbeaten run at 13 games. The Blues, who have now won three in a row themselves, went in front in the first half when Campbell converted Aaron Cresswell’s cross, then after the break Murphy netted the second and Campbell added the third from the penalty spot.
Two late goals from substitute Nick Proschwitz saw Hull City come from behind to beat the Blues 2-1 at the KC Stadium. Town had led at half-time through Jay Emmanuel-Thomas but the home side had been the better team throughout.
