Tommy Conway netted a first-half brace as Bristol City increased Blackburn’s relegation fears with a thumping 5-0 Championship win at Ashton Gate.

Jamie Vardy can be a major force for England at Euro 2016 after winning the Premier League title with Leicester City, according to Alan Smith.
As well as setting a new Premier League record for netting in 11 consecutive matches, the 29-year-old has scored 22 goals to help the Foxes be crowned champions.
Vardy has won six England caps since making his debut against Republic of Ireland last June, scoring twice, and is expected to travel to France in Roy Hodgson s final squad for the Euros.
Smith – who played for Leicester and England – thinks this could be a tournament where Vardy seizes the opportunity to make the most of what could be a limited period at the top of the game.
Smith told Omnisport: He is 29 and he has not got too many years at th…
Jurgen Klopp is planning to lead a private life after walking away from the Liverpool job, suggesting it is far from certain that he will return to management.
Liverpool beat Wolves 2-0 in Klopp s 334th and final Premier League game at the helm on Sunday, the German becoming the first permanent Reds boss to win his last match in charge since Matt McQueen in February 1928 (3-2 versus Derby County).
Upon announcing his departure in January, Klopp said he was running out of energy , and he has repeatedly suggested a sabbatical is next after nine years in charge at Anfield.
On Sunday, he hinted a return to coaching was not a guarantee, despite rumours suggesting Bayern Munich or the Germany job could be next for him.

Paris Saint-Germain s poor start to 2023 continued as Wissam Ben Yedder scored twice in Monaco s 3-1 win over the Ligue 1 leaders, who sorely missed the injured Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.
Hamstring issues kept Messi and Mbappe out at the Stade Louis II, and with the likes of Sergio Ramos and Achraf Hakimi benched, Christophe Galtier s below-strength team were all at sea.
Aleksandr Golovin struck early for Monaco and Ben Yedder doubled up before half-time, punishing an error from 17-year-old El Chadaille Bitshiabu for his first goal.
Sixteen-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery briefly put PSG back in contention before Ben Yedder s second, but PSG s defensive shortcomings ensured they suffered their third league defeat since the turn of the year.

Manchester United will not appeal against a four-game domestic ban given to Casemiro after his red card against Southampton, with Raphael Varane backing them to cope in his absence.
A VAR review saw Casemiro shown a straight red card for a forceful challenge on Carlos Alcaraz during the first half of Sunday s goalless draw at Old Trafford.
The midfielder was also sent off in a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace last month, making him the first United player to receive two red cards in a single Premier League season since Nemanja Vidic in 2013-14.
His second dismissal of the campaign means he must serve a four-match domestic suspension, missing Sunday s FA Cup quarter-final against Fulham as well as league meetings with Newcastle United, Brentford and Everton.

Incoming Bayern Munich head coach Carlo Ancelotti has backed a counter-attacking team to win Euro 2016 and highlighted Leicester City and Atletico Madrid as examples of teams achieving success without playing possession football.
Leicester upset the odds to win the Premier League this season, while Atleti overcame favourites Barcelona and Bayern to reach the Champions League final where they were beaten by city rivals Real Madrid.
Spain head to France as the two-time defending European champions, successes they achieved with their famous possession, tiki-taka style.
But former AC Milan and Real Madrid boss Ancelotti believes Euro 2016 will see a different approach flourish.
When I look back over the league seasons in the biggest football countries in Eur…

James Tavernier believes Philippe Clement is facing selection headaches after returning Rangers to the top of the cinch Premiership on Sunday.
Amid a busy fixture schedule, the Belgian boss again reshuffled his pack for the tense trip to St Johnstone, this time with five changes.
The 32-year-old Gers skipper scored two late penalties to add to Mohamed Diomande’s first-half opener in the 3-0 win.
