Cardiff pay tribute and say they are ‘heartbroken’

The former Cardiff and Aston Villa midfielder Peter Whittingham has died at the age of 35. Whittingham had what South Wales police described as “an accidental fall” at a Barry pub on 7 March and had been in hospital with head injuries.

The former midfielder was a huge fans’ favourite at Cardiff, scoring numerous spectacular long-range goals that helped earn him a place in the EFL’s team of the decade for 2005-2015. He started his career at Villa before joining Cardiff in 2007, playing more than 450 times for the club. He finished his career at Blackburn, whom he left in August 2018.

Aleksandar Mitrovic left it late to ensure Fulham maintained their promotion challenge with a 1-0 win against Swansea, having missed a penalty minutes earlier.

The Serbia striker connected with Aboubakar Kamara’s right-wing cross four minutes into injury time to deliver his side’s first win in four games and boost their hopes of breaking into the top two. But a few minutes earlier it appeared as though he would be the villain when he was denied from the spot by the goalkeeper Freddie Woodman after Neeskens Kebano had gone down under a challenge from Connor Roberts.

Sven-Göran Eriksson: 'Blackburn let me join Lazio. I thank them every day'

Lazio are in a title race for the first time in years. When they last won Serie A 20 years ago, Sven-Göran Eriksson was in charge

By The Coaches’ Voice for the Guardian Sport Network

Serie A was the best league in the world when Roma offered me the job of manager in 1984. All of the best players went there. I was managing Benfica when they knocked out Roma in the Uefa Cup quarter-finals the year before, which is the reason that offer was made. When it came, I took it – it was time to move.

I joined a good team, but an old team. Roma had been successful with Nils Liedholm, another Swedish coach. They had won the league in 1983 and gone on to play in the European Cup final, which they lost on penalties to Liverpool, a few months before I arrived. It was a team full of success, full of great players and names. They felt like they were the kings of Rome.

EFL roundup: Nottingham Forest’s promotion hopes dented by Charlton
• Lyle Taylor volley earns Addicks 1-0 win at City Ground
• Blackburn climb to eighth with 3-0 home win over Hull

Charlton boosted their fight against relegation with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over high-flying Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Sabri Lamouchi’s side came into the game on a high, having enhanced their promotion credentials with a 2-0 win over Leeds and needing a win to reach the automatic promotion places. But a team who included five changes – probably made with Saturday’s trip to West Brom in mind – toiled to turn things around after Lyle Taylor put Charlton ahead in the 24th minute.

Tosin Adarabioyo: ‘In five years I’d like to be Man City captain. It can happen’
Manchester City’s defender, on loan at Blackburn, discusses his future, how racism is getting worse and being spotted aged five

Tosin Adarabioyo may be on loan again from Manchester City but the 22-year-old remains focused on the boyhood dream. “In five years’ time I’d like to be captain of Man City and have won the Premier League and the Champions League. Definitely it can happen,” he says.

Here high ambition is married to a recognition of the hard yards required to reach the top. Sitting in plush seats at The Mere hotel in Cheshire, Adarabioyo can point to the decision to sign for a season at Blackburn Rovers after spending the previous campaign on loan at West Bromwich Albion.

St Andrew’s empty stands a sign of FA Cup’s fading, but not forgotten, magic | Jonathan Liew
Even at third-round tie between Birmingham and Blackburn few wanted to watch, it was still possible to find a little joy

Most match days, you can barely squeeze into the bar of the Royal George Hotel at the north-eastern corner of St Andrew’s. An hour before Birmingham play Blackburn, however, there are still plenty of chairs and tables available. A short distance away, in front of the Tilton Road Stand, a lone steward stands solemn guard in front of a bank of silent turnstiles. The magic of the FA Cup is still very much in evidence, it seems – but these days it tends to be more of a vanishing act.

It’s a similar story inside the stadium, where only one of the four stands – the Kop – is fully open, along with a sliver of away fans in the Gil Merrick. This despite Blackburn bringing a healthy away contingent and tickets being attractively priced at £12. Birmingham’s Twitter account was still trying to flog them early on Saturday morning.
