- Todd Cantwell’s penalty denies Leeds top spot
- Plymouth fans show anger as side thrashed 4-0
Todd Cantwell’s first-half penalty secured Blackburn a 1-0 victory over Leeds at Ewood Park as Daniel Farke’s side missed out on the chance to return to the top of the Championship. Sheffield United’s defeat of Sunderland a day earlier meant Leeds came into the game in second spot, but they fell short in their efforts to leapfrog the Blades after Cantwell’s 22nd-minute spot-kick secured Rovers’ third successive win and boosted their play-off challenge.
Burnley moved into second by beating Stoke 2-0 to make it four straight wins and five consecutive clean sheets. Jay Rodriguez’s opener shortly after the break was added to by substitute Josh Brownhill’s late penalty as Scott Parker’s side took full advantage of Leeds’ defeat earlier in the day.

- McLaren closing on team title after drought of 26 years
Max Verstappen endured exhilaration and then disappointment in qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix, where he took pole position against the odds, his first since Austria in June, only to lose it more than three hours later. With the stewards having taken an exceedingly long look at an incident where he blocked Mercedes’ George Russell, they finally penalised the world champion by one grid place, promoting Russell to pole.
