McDonald scores winning double for Boro

Lee Chung-yong put struggling Bolton ahead in the 42nd minute, but a brace from substitute McDonald, in the 67th and 85th minutes, turned the match around.

Cardiff knocked Leicester off the top of the Championship with a thumping 4-0 home win over Burnley as the Foxes went down at home to Crystal Palace.

Nigel Pearson's side was beaten 2-1 by managerless Crystal Palace, who showed no ill-effects from losing boss Dougie Freedman to Bolton.

The win put Palace within a point of the automatic promotion places in fourth.

Colin Kazim-Richards had earlier missed a penalty for Rovers.

Nottingham Forest moved into the play-off places thanks to a 4-1 win at Barnsley, who went in front in the 24th minute through former former City Ground striker Marlon Harewood.

Forest was not behind for long, though, Greg Halford levelling 11 minutes later and further goals from Simon Cox and Chris Cohen putting it 3-1 up at the break.

Jermaine Jenas came off the bench to make the points safe in the 77th minute.

Wolverhampton Wanderers dropped back to seventh as it was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Charlton.

At the other end of the table, Sheffield Wednesday added to fellow struggler Ipswich's troubles with a 3-0 win at Portman Road.

Ross Barkley scored early in each half for the Owls with Michail Antonio adding a third late on.

The defeat left Town five points adrift at the foot of the table.

Millwall hammered Huddersfield 4-0, Chris Wood's brace setting it on its way.

James Henry added a third 11 minutes from time and Liam Trotter got number four after the Terriers had Jack Hunt sent off.

Struggling Peterborough was also a comfortable winnes, dispatching Derby 3-0.

Michael Bostwick put Posh in front after half an hour, but Lee Tomlin missed the chance to double the lead when his 57th-minute penalty was saved.

Derby had Jake Buxton sent off in the 70th minute and Saido Berahino scored twice in the final five minutes to seal the points for Peterborough.

Blackpool drew 1-1 at home to Brighton, Elliot Grandin scoring 18 minutes from time after Ashley Barnes' opener for the visitor, while Leroy Lita's goal earned Birmingham a 1-0 success at Leeds.
