• Defeat to Nottingham Forest seals Peterborough’s fate
• Bournemouth leveller puts Fulham’s title party on hold

Peterborough’s relegation to League One was confirmed as Sam Surridge scored the only goal in their 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest – a result that saved Reading from the drop.

Peterborough had looked threatening early on as they battled for survival, with Josh Knight and Ricky-Jade Jones both going close, but Forest gradually took control. The victory all but secured Forest’s place in the Championship’s top six, and kept Reading in the division, despite their 3-0 defeat at Hull.
