Championship Betting Review - May 1, 2006
Championship Victory Highlight
Reading capped off their Championship-winning season in spectacular fashion, surpassing Sunderland's points record by a single point. Graeme Murty's late penalty, his second ever for the club and first of the season, secured a 2-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers, bringing Reading's total to 106 points.
Game Highlights
Reading’s Triumph:
The match saw Dave Kitson give Reading the lead just before halftime. However, veteran Paul Furlong threatened to upset the celebration by equalizing for QPR in the 72nd minute. Murty’s penalty, six minutes from time, clinched Reading's 99th goal of the season.
Playoff Positions Secured:
Sheffield United ensured a 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace, confirming Palace’s position in the sixth and final playoff spot. Chris Morgan’s decisive goal came with nine minutes left.
Watford secured third place with a goalless draw against Hull at Vicarage Road, extending their unbeaten streak to five matches ahead of the playoff semi-final against Crystal Palace.
Preston, in a psychological boost, overcame Leeds with a 2-0 win at Deepdale. Brian Stock scored from a direct free-kick, and Brett Ormerod added another goal.
Other Season Closures:
Wolves concluded the season close to the playoffs with a 2-1 win over Norwich. Goals from Denes Rosa and Mark Kennedy, despite Robert Earnshaw’s late reply, ensured victory.
Coventry ended the season on a high, defeating an out-of-form Cardiff 3-1. Stern John opened the scoring, with Dele Adebola and Dennis Wise securing the win after Steve Thompson’s equalizer.
Stoke manager Johan Boskamp ended his tenure triumphantly, beating Brighton 5-1. Adam Rooney scored twice quickly, and completed a hat-trick later. Mamady Sidibe and Peter Sweeny added goals before Doug Loft's consolation for Brighton.
In a clash between relegated sides, Crewe triumphed over Millwall 4-2. After a back-and-forth first half, Crewe secured their win through goals by Nicky Maynard, Luke Varney, and Steve Jones.
