Coventry City secured a 1-1 draw away at Southampton despite illness affecting Sakamoto, Thomas, and Kitching and an early red card for Jay Dasilva 85 seconds into the second half. Ephron Mason-Clark gave Coventry the lead in the first half, with Nathan Wood equalising for Southampton after the break. Coventry felt they were denied a penalty when Haji Wright went down under a challenge from Taylor Harwood-Bellis. After full-time, Frank Lampard gestured towards Saints fans, which sparked a confrontation on the pitch.

In goalkeeping action, Gavin Bazunu made a stunning save to deny Jack Rudoni during the first half.

Elsewhere, Blackburn Rovers defeated Millwall 2-0 at home, with goals from Andri Gudjohnsen and Yuki Ohashi before halftime. Preston North End and Norwich City played out a 1-1 draw as Will Keane scored a stoppage-time equaliser following an earlier goal by Jovon Makama for Norwich.

In another match, Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo's error in the 90th minute allowed Adam Idah to score the winner as Swansea City claimed a 2-1 victory. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson defended Okonkwo despite the costly mistake.
