Meanwhile James Wilson netted a first-half winner as Brighton moved up to second place in the Championship following a 1-0 victory over Reading.

The Seagulls have now won five of their last six home games and Reading’s defeat still leaves them without a clean sheet away from home for six months.

Hull’s automatic promotion bid continued to falter as they were held to a second successive home draw and slipped to fourth in the Championship.

Hull were held 1-1 by Nottingham Forest, the same score as against MK Dons at the KC Stadium on Saturday.

Forest earned new manager Paul Williams a point in his first game in charge since being appointed to replace Dougie Freedman for the rest of the season.

Forest took a first-half lead through Gary Gardner’s rising shot from distance before Sone Aluko slid home a second half equaliser for Hull whose winless run in the Championship extended to four games.

Birthday boy Daryl Murphy scored his first goals for two months as Ipswich continued their push for a play-off place with a 2-0 victory over Blackburn last night.

The Ipswich striker scored from the penalty spot after Luke Chambers was pulled down and then made the points safe three minutes from time.
