David McGoldrick and Joe Garner were on target but couldn’t prevent the Blues from falling to a 3-2 defeat away against leaders Leeds United. The Whites went in front via Pierre-Michel Lasogga on 13, McGoldrick equalised on the half hour, before Kalvin Phillips’s goal two minutes later gave the home side a 2-1 half-time lead. Town improved after the break but went 3-1 behind when Bartosz Bialkowski dropped a corner over the line in the 67th minute, Garner pulled one back four minutes later but the Blues couldn’t find an equaliser.
Goals from Pierre-Michel Lasogga and Kalvin Phillips, either side of David McGoldrick’s fifth goal of the season for Town, have given Leeds United a 2-1 lead over the Blues at half-time at Elland Road.
Marcus Harness’s goal was enough to see Town to a 1-0 victory over his old club Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium, moving the Blues a point clear at the top of League One. Town didn’t have it all their own way against the Brewers, however, with the home side having come closest to scoring on a number of occasions before Harness’s low shot from the edge of the area on the hour mark secured the three points.
