Championship roundup: Lampard sparks melee as Coventry draw with Southampton

• 10-man leaders shrug off illness crisis to earn point

• Blackburn beat Millwall to ease relegation worries

Coventry shrugged off an illness crisis and a half with 10 men as the Championship leaders secured a 1-1 draw at Southampton. Frank Lampard – having been abused throughout the match by home supporters – gestured multiple times at the Southampton fans after the match to spark a melee on the pitch.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and the first-choice centre-backs, Bobby Thomas and Liam Kitching, missed the game with a flu bug and Jay Dasilva was sent off 85 seconds into the second half. Ephron Mason-Clark had given Coventry a first-half lead but they could not hold out as Nathan Wood levelled after the break.
