Blackburn went top of the Championship in dramatic style this afternoon.

Overnight leaders Albion are now neck and neck with Blackpool for second place.

Blackburn looked to have blown their chance of going a point clear when they twice conceded equalisers at Bristol City.

But Scott Dann and Jordan Rhodes, with his second goal of the game, both scored in added time to give Rovers a thrilling 5-3 win.

Blackpool, who were top 24 hours ago, drew 1-1 at Barnsley.

Thomas Ince’s 30th-minute leveller means the Tangerines and the Seagulls have exactly the same record – three wins, a draw and a defeat with 11 goals scored and three conceded.

Former Albion striker Craig Davies put the Tykes ahead at Oakwell.

Nottingham Forest came from two down to draw 2-2 with Birmingham.

Hull and Cardiff are level on points with Albion and Blackpool after winning at home today.

Previously goalshy Hull did all their scoring in the first half to thump Millwall 4-1 at the KC Stadium.

Peter Whittingham’s penalty proved to be the winner as Cardiff beat Leeds 2-1. All the goals came after the 64th-minute exit of Craig Noone, whose substitute Craig Bellamy got the opener.

Albion’s next opponents Watford lost 2-1 at Bolton.
