Jeremy Sarmiento’s first goal for the club grabbed a deserved late point for the Blues as Town returned to second in the Championship following a 1-1 draw with leaders Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Town had gone behind to a 31st-minute Leif Davis own goal but the Blues improved after the break and on-loan Brighton forward Sarmiento followed-up Massimo Luongo’s saved shot to claim the draw in the penultimate minute.
Town’s wait for a derby victory over rivals Norwich City continues after a 2-2 draw at Portman Road. Nathan Broadhead put the Blues in front in the 34th minute, the home side having spurned a number of earlier chances, but Jonathan Rowe equalised against the run of play five minutes before the break and then put the visitors in front four minutes after the restart. Wes Burns smashed in a leveller for Town on the hour but the Blues were unable to find a winner in the final half hour.
Macauley Bonne, Conor Chaplin, Sone Aluko and Wes Burns were on target as the Blues thrashed Portsmouth 4-0 at Fratton Park. Bonne gave Town the lead with his 10th of the season four minutes before the break when he embarrassed home keeper Gavin Bazunu, then Chaplin netted against his old side on 54 and Aluko made it 3-0 four minutes later, before Burns added the fourth in the 75th to complete the rout.
