Championship roundup: Priske’s double gives Birmingham victory over Lincoln. The story has drawn attention because it can shape how supporters and tipsters read the next stage of the Championship conversation.
The confirmed headline signal is straightforward: Norwich battle back from two down against Watford Preston remain rock bottom after defeat at Stoke August Priske scored twice as Birmingham bounced back from defeat at Cardiff to beat Lincoln 3-1 at Sincil Bank and move – at least temporarily – into second. The Dane scored either side of the break, with Alex Cochrane securing the win after the Imps substitute Tom Bayliss had reduced the deficit. Birmingham went ahead in the 16th minute with a goal owing to some fortune, as a Blues pass was inadvertently directed towards his own goal by Yunus Konak, straight to Priske on the edge of the box and he swivelled and fired a low shot into the bottom
