Cameron Archer came off the bench to score a 90th-minute winner as Southampton's charge for promotion continued with a comeback 2-1 win away to Swansea City. 

Southampton extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to 16 matches to move level on points with third-placed Ipswich Town, who play Middlesbrough on Sunday. 

But the Saints found themselves behind in the 20th minute when Marko Stamenic turned the ball home from close range after Zan Vipotnik did brilliantly to keep the ball in play. 

In a largely dominant first half from Swansea, Leo Scienza and James Bree both forced Lawrence Vigouroux into smart stops towards the end of the opening 45 minutes. 

However, the Saints drew themselves level through substitute Shea Charles, who nodded into the right-hand corner after reacting quickest to Scienza's flick to the back post. 

And with time ticking away, Archer came to Southampton's rescue late on as his fierce volley found its way into the back of the net despite Jay Fulton's best efforts on the line.

Wrexham also kept their hopes of a top-six finish alive as two goals in two minutes from George Thomason and Josh Windass sealed a 2-0 victory over struggling Stoke City.

Phil Parkinson's side are now two points behind Hull City in the final play-off place, with their win seeing them leapfrog Derby County after their earlier triumph over Oxford United.

George Thomason opened the scoring with 31 minutes on the clock when his teasing corner flew straight over Gavin Bazunu, but it got even better for the hosts soon afterwards. 

A long ball over the top was not dealt with by Stoke captain Aaron Cresswell, allowing Josh Windass to steal in and poke it past Bazunu and into the bottom-right corner. 

The pick of Saturday's action came at Ashton Gate as a second-half hat-trick from the in-form Mohamed Toure helped Norwich City beat Roy Hodgson's Bristol City 4-2. 

Sam Morsy's second-minute opener was cancelled out six minutes after the restart by Toure, who would go on to complete his treble 25 minutes later to put Norwich in control. 

The Robins fell further behind when Jose Cordoba nodded home, with Sam Bell netting a consolation for the hosts, who were beaten for the first time since Hodgson took charge.

At the opposite end of the table, West Brom's revival under James Morrison continued as goals from Josh Maja and Daryl Dike sealed a 2-0 win away to Preston North End. 

Data Debrief: Saints go marching on

Southampton's sensational form under Tonda Eckert continued as they kept in the hunt for the final automatic promotion place in style, with Bristol City their next league outing before turning their attention to next Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City. 

The Saints have now won their last seven games in the Championship, their longest winning streak in the competition since at least 2016-17, while they also extended their unbeaten run away from St. Mary's to eight matches (W6 D2). 

But they were made to work for their 21st league win of the season, with Swansea edging the expected goals (xG) battle with a total of 1.04 from their 10 shots to Southampton's 1.01 from their 16 attempts.
