DERBY’S RELEGATION WORRIES deepened after Harvey Elliott’s strike condemned them to a damaging 2-1 defeat at Blackburn, while Reading’s outside chances of reaching the Championship play-offs suffered a setback when they were held to a late 1-1 draw by Mick McCarthy’s Cardiff City at the Madejski Stadium.
Wayne Rooney’s Derby side went ahead against the only team in worse form in the last six games when former Rovers loanee Tom Lawrence headed in from close range.

BLACKBURN stuttered to a draw against 10-man Stoke on Saturday, but will still be able to take some positives from their display.
The visitors opened the scoring when Nick Powell found space behind Ryan Nyambe and Bradley Johnson to head home Jordan Thompson’s well-delivered corner.
Thompson hit the post himself shortly after, while Thomas Kaminski made an outstanding save from another Powell header.
Stoke went down to 10 men midway through the second half after James Chester brought down Adam Armstrong who was through on goal.
Blackburn’s play had been improving just before that, though, and the equaliser had arrived just before the card through substitute John Buckley with Liverpool loanee Harvey Elliott getting his seventh assist of the season.
