    QPR move up to seventh place in the Championship after a brilliant first half which saw goals from Koki Saito, Richard Kone, Karamoko Dembele and Amadou Mbengue blow Leicester away.

    Saito missed a sitter while in the second period Kone also came close to adding to Leicester's misery.

    Silko Amari-Thomas' late goal was no consolation for a Leicester side who suffered a harrowing afternoon on boss Marti Cifuentes' return to his former club.

    A good point for Portsmouth who led early through Callum Lang only to soak up Derby pressure as the home side pushed for a leveller.

    The Rams got it in fortuitous circumstances with a Hayden Matthews own goal.

    Nicolas Scmid denied Ben Brereton twice to keep it all square.

    Portsmouth suffered a blow as winger Josh Murphy limped off - an injury they can ill-afford.

    Jack Clarke (87 mins)

    The difference between the haves and the have-nots in the Championship.

    The Owls turn to teenagers on their bench, Ipswich have a £20 million talent in Jack Clarke and he has settled this game.

    Clarke gets through, it looks like the chance has gone, but he is able to poke the ball past Pierce Charles.

    A seventh of the season for the ex-Sunderland winger.
