Championship Round-Up: Burnley joined on top by Leicester and QPR

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Burnley: Forest held to draw

As I predicted, Forest and Burnley drew 1-1 at the City Ground. Burnley have now drawn their last three matches - and have lost their points lead they had over QPR and Leicester. Forest have gained four points off of the top two in their last two matches - showing that they can challenge for automatic promotion.

On the basis of the play - Forest should have won this game. At total of nineteen shots and 64% of possession just says it all.

Forest's first chance came when Radoslaw Majewski had a long range effort saved by Tom Heaton.

Henry Landsbury then hit the crossbar from a free-kick, before Majewski fired wide. The free-kick left Heaton stranded in the Burnley goal.

Simon Cox had a long range effort saved, moments later. It felt like Forest's goal was only a matter of moments away.

In Burnley's first major attack, Gonzalo Jara's hand got in the way of a cross from the right hand side and Burnley were given a penalty. Karl Darlow guess the right way, but he couldn't prevent Sam Vokes from scoring.

Simon Cox levelled the game, just before half time, following a Jamie Paterson cross.

The second half had few chances. Burnley would be much happier with their point.
