Leap Year in the Championship

When it comes to headers you better think of Queen Park Rangers' Matt Smith. Since 2017, no one has scored more headed goals in the Championship than the towering striker  - who has nodded home a total of 8 headers.

The 28-year-old forward netted his latest headed effort - a late one by the way (90'+1') - in QPR's match against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday - his 7th Championship goal so far this season.

Smith's head will now be focused on Rangers' visit to Sheffield United on Tuesday night - where the Hoops will try to remedy their poor away form in 17/18.
