The race for the English Championship title is heating up as Derby County and Aston Villa compete against each other. The Rams are in first, but they need to maintain their position heading into April. Meanwhile, Aston Villa have made a late rally from third place and sit just one point behind them with two games in hand after losing to Newcastle United on Monday night.
The “derby county 21 points deduction” is a recent result in the English Football League. Derby County has been deducted 21 points for fielding an ineligible player.
Derby’s winner came from Tosin Adarabioyo, who redirected the ball into his own net.
Derby County put an end to Fulham’s Premier League promotion celebrations by coming back from a goal down to win a crucial match that kept their own slim hopes of avoiding relegation alive.
Thanks to Fabio Carvalho’s well-taken opening, Fulham were on pace for a victory that would have sealed an automatic return to the top division with five games to spare.
However, five minutes into the second half, 19-year-old Luke Plange equalized for the hosts before Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo put Tom Lawrence’s cross-shot into his own net.
Realistically, the victory is unlikely to impact the narrative of the season, since Fulham still only need three points to get promotion, and a single loss in Derby’s next four games would send Reading down with only a point.
There will be more to come.
