Full report

Blackburn 1-2 Luton

Matty Pearson came back to haunt his former club as Luton battled to a 2-1 Sky Bet Championship victory at Blackburn.

Pearson, who came through the academy at Blackburn, secured the points with a towering header in the 57th minute for his second goal of the season.

James Collins gave the Hatters the lead with a thumping header of his own in the 17th minute, which was cancelled out by a first goal at Ewood Park for Lewis Travis 20 minutes later.

But the game sprung into life after Pearson restored the advantage, as Rovers went in search of the goals that would maintain their 100 per cent record in September.

Stewart Downing, Lewis Holtby and Adam Armstrong all missed the goal with presentable chances, and Simon Sluga was in the way to deny Danny Graham.

But Luton defended heroically to end a run of three consecutive defeats to win the first league meeting between these sides since 1982.

Charlton 1-0 Leeds

Macauley Bonne marked his first Sky Bet Championship start with the goal that earned Charlton a 1-0 win at home to Leeds.

The striker, a summer signing from Leyton Orient who had previously made just two substitute appearances in the league, was in the right place at the right time to bundle home the only goal of a game contested by the first two clubs in the lengthy playing career of Charlton manager Lee Bowyer.

Leeds had been knocked off top spot on Friday night by Nottingham Forest's 3-2 win at Stoke and were pushed down to fourth by this defeat and wins for rivals elsewhere.

Charlton joined them in the play-off places as well as drawing level on 17 points.

Manager Bielsa saw his Leeds side, whose arrival at The Valley had been delayed by traffic, put Charlton on the back foot within 30 seconds as Patrick Bamford won a corner that saw Ben White force Dillon Phillips into the game's first save.

The next quarter of an hour was scrappy but Leeds were still on top, with Mateusz Klich seeing a shot deflected over before a Bamford effort was blocked by Naby Sarr.

Charlton had offered nothing of significance at the other end until they suddenly took the lead in the 32nd minute.

Their first corner of the afternoon was met by centre-back Tom Lockyer, whose thumping drive was parried by Kiko Casilla only to bounce back over the line off Bonne, who was right in front of the Leeds keeper.

Helder Costa, making his first Leeds start, fired a response over, as did Stuart Dallas a minute later.

Leeds switched to three at the back for the second half, with Kalvin Phillips dropping back from midfield.

Casilla was able to get behind Josh Cullen's free-kick while at the other end Lockyer almost diverted a Dallas cross into his own net.

Leeds were pushing men forward in search of an equaliser, which left them vulnerable to the Charlton counter-attacks. The hosts were relived however when Klich fired a decent opening well over.

Stoppage time saw Leeds pile on the pressure but keeper Phillips made a point-blank block to deny Adam Forshaw, another substitute.

Derby 3-2 Birmingham

Derby ended a bad week with a 3-2 victory over Birmingham in a pulsating game at Pride Park.

Chris Martin scored one goal and created another for Martyn Waghorn before Birmingham hit back to level through Gary Gardner and Ivan Sunjic.

Blues striker Lukas Jutkiewicz then had a penalty saved by Kelle Roos before Jamie Paterson ran clear to open his account for the Rams and clinch a first home win of the season.

It had been a turbulent time for Derby, who left Tom Lawrence and Mason Bennett out of the squad after they were charged with drink-driving in the incident which left skipper Richard Keogh with a knee injury that has ended his season.

Curtis Davies made his first Championship appearance of the season in place of Keogh while Martin made his first Derby start since December 2017 and marked it with a goal in the second minute.

Birmingham lost the ball out on the right and Duane Holmes surged forward to cross for Martin to turn the ball through the legs of Maxime Colin and past the unsighted Lee Camp.

Derby scored again in the 50th minute when Marc Roberts slipped and Martin played in Waghorn, who finished low past Camp.

Birmingham had to respond quickly and they did with two goals in four minutes. Roos turned behind a Crowley shot in the 56th minute for a corner which Gardner back-headed in before Sunjic smashed in an equaliser.

Derby's defence twice failed to clear and Sunjic found the top corner from 20 yards - but Birmingham then wasted a great chance to win the game.

Krystian Bielik tripped Alvaro Gimenez near the touchline in the 70th minute and a spot-klck was awarded - but Jutkiewicz's effort was beaten out by Roos.

Derby took advantage when they broke five minutes later, with Jack Marriott sending Paterson through to score.

Huddersfield 1-1 Millwall

Huddersfield's hopes of a first Sky Bet Championship win this season were crushed by a goalkeeping howler from Kamil Grabara as the Terriers were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw with 10-man Millwall.

The point was enough to lift the Terriers off the foot of the table but they remain winless at the John Smith's Stadium since the end of February, while the Lions are still searching for their first victory on the road since March.

Home-town boy Fraizer Campbell, a free transfer capture from Hull in the summer, had given Huddersfield a 24th-minute lead but Grabara's 40th-minute error allowed Matt Smith to poach the equaliser.

The visitors later finished the game a man down after Jake Ferguson was sent off for two bookable offences in the second half.

A failed clearance from midway inside Millwall's half on the left-wing sprang off Elias Kachunga and into the path of Karlan Grant. The striker then surged into the area before teeing up Campbell for a sidefoot finish from 10 yards for his first goal for the club.

The goal galvanised the Terriers, who enjoyed a purple patch that resulted in a Grant header saved by Bartosz Bialkowski and a flying headed effort from Campbell that just cleared the angle of bar and post.

Five minutes from the break, though, Millwall fortuitously clawed their way back into the game, with Grabara hero and then villain in the space of 30 seconds.

The 20-year-old Polish goalkeeper, on loan from Liverpool, produced a sensational fingertip stop to nudge over the bar a raking 30-yard strike from Ryan Leonard that moved through the air.

But from the Shane Mahoney corner that followed, Grabara made a complete hash of his attempted catch, with the ball almost dropping over the line only for Smith to intervene and help it on its way from less than a yard out for his third goal of the season.

Two penalty shouts were rightly turned aside by referee Jeremy Simpson despite strong appeals for both from the Town players before the official was forced to reduce Millwall to 10 men in the 80th minute.

Ferguson was given his marching orders for two fouls on 57th-minute substitute Adama Diakhaby, the second of which was half a yard outside the area.

Hull 2-2 Cardiff

Substitute Danny Ward's late goal earned Cardiff a dramatic 2-2 draw away at Hull.

The visitors were, for large parts of the game, the better side, but they trailed at half-time when Kamil Grosicki let fly with a speculative free-kick just before the break.

Cardiff will have felt hard done by at the interval, but parity was restored when Robert Glatzel battered home an equaliser in the second half.

The game had looked to be drifting towards a draw, but Jordy De Wijs' crisp header from a perfect Jarrod Bowen free-kick put Hull in front after 89 minutes.

But Ward, who replaced Gavin Whyte after 71 minutes, had the final word deep into injury-time when he seized upon Aden Flint's flick-on with a bustling finish inside the penalty box.

Defeat would have been harsh on Cardiff as the hosts were for long periods made to look ponderous in possession and struggled to match their opponents' physicality.

Hull grew more competent at the back, though haphazard distribution and unnecessary free-kicks maintained Cardiff's relative control as the game rather drifted towards half-time.

That was until the 44th minute, when Bowen was clumsily upended by Flint 30 yards from goal.

Poland international Grosicki had it all to do from such a long way out, but his skidding, powerful strike was poorly handled by goalkeeper Alex Smithies, and the ball squirmed into the bottom right-hand corner.

Yet just as it began to look like Cardiff had become rattled, Glatzel equalised.

The German striker owes Leandro Bacuna a huge debt of gratitude as his superb cross from the left flank meant Glatzel could not miss from close range.

With time running out, Bowen's excellent free-kick from the right touchline - he also lured Joe Bennett into a foul - was headed home by De Wijs to make it 2-1.

Hull's celebrations were shortlived, though, as Ward struck at the death.

Yet the drama was not over yet as George Honeyman's effort with seconds remaining was brilliantly stopped on the goal-line by Morrison.

Middlesbrough 1-4 Sheffield Wednesday

Garry Monk enjoyed a memorable return to Middlesbrough as his Sheffield Wednesday side scored four goals before the interval in a resounding 4-1 win at the Riverside.

Monk was dismissed after just 26 games as Boro manager in December 2017, but the Owls boss extracted his revenge in devastating fashion as his side bounced back from their midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Everton.

Dominic Iorfa, Adam Reach and Steven Fletcher all scored in the opening 34 minutes, with an early own goal from Adam Clayton compounding Middlesbrough's misery.

The victory lifts Wednesday to the fringe of the play-off places, while Middlesbrough have now suffered back-to-back league defeats.

The visitors scored two goals in the opening six minutes, with both owing much to some dreadful Middlesbrough defending.

Both goals came from set-pieces, with the first going down as an own goal as Clayton glanced Barry Bannan's corner past a helpless Darren Randolph and into his own net.

Just a minute later, and Wednesday were profiting from another Bannan set-piece as they doubled their lead.

The midfielder swung over a free-kick from the right, and having outjumped Dael Fry at the back post, Iorfa powered home a header from close range.

Unsurprisingly, Boro were shellshocked, but Jonathan Woodgate's side briefly hauled themselves back into the game as they scored in the 19th minute.

Marvin Johnson's corner struck a defender and fell invitingly for Paddy McNair, who rifled home a ferocious 14-yard drive.

Reach, who started his career in Boro's academy, claimed the visitors' third goal, steering a first-time shot into the bottom left-hand corner after Atdhe Nuhui teed him up on the edge of the box.

Reach then turned provider shortly after the half-hour mark, receiving the ball from Kadeem Harris after Marc Bola had been caught horribly out of position from a long goal-kick, and crossing for Fletcher to head home at the back post.

Preston 3-3 Bristol City

Preston stretched their unbeaten run to six Championship games in a dramatic 3-3 draw with Bristol City at Deepdale.

First-half goals from Taylor Moore - his first for Bristol City - and Andreas Weimann gave the visitors the ascendancy.

Paul Gallagher dragged Preston back into the game before the break and Daniel Johnson levelled only for Nathan Baker to restore Bristol City's lead.

But Patrick Bauer's header with 20 minutes remaining stretched Preston's impressive unbeaten streak.

Both sides had opportunities to score in the opening stages of the game, with a flurry of chances at both ends in an action-packed first half.

With such an open start to the game, an early goal was almost inevitable, and Moore edged the visitors in front on the half hour mark.

Rowe's corner was flicked on by Ashley Williams and, with the Preston defence unable to clear their lines, the full back reacted quickest to turn the loose ball home from close range.

With the Lilywhites still looking to get a foothold back in the game, Lee Johnson's side doubled their lead seven minutes later.

Preston failed to learn their lesson over marking at corners, as Weimann stole in front of two defenders to flick home a header from Josh Brownhill's set piece.

Alex Neil's side were thrown a lifeline on the stroke of half time, after Han-Noah Massengo caught Johnson inside the penalty area, with Gallagher dispatching the resulting spot-kick.

The hosts' fortune continued after the break, as they were awarded a second penalty on 51 minutes as Williams handled Maguire's cross.

This time Gallagher passed responsibility over to Johnson and he calmly sent Daniel Bentley the wrong way from 12 yards.

From there, the game turned back into the visitors' favour, with Kasey Palmer denied by Rudd on the hour mark, before Johnson's side regained the lead on 62 minutes.

Brownhill was once again the architect against his former side as his whipped free-kick caused problems in the Preston box, with Baker reacting sharply to poke home from a yard out.

However, Preston were not finished yet, as defender Bauer got above his man to head home Joe Rafferty's corner after 70 minutes to ensure a share of the spoils for the home side.

Swansea City 1-1 Reading

Andy Yiadom scored a last-minute equaliser as Reading salvaged a 1-1 draw to deny Swansea a return to the top of the table.

The Royals wing-back's unstoppable strike earned a hard-fought point and ended their three-game losing streak in the league.

It looked as if Swansea were set to reclaim top spot after protecting the lead given to them by Borja Baston's early header after just three minutes.

The Spanish striker's sixth goal of the season sent him to the top of the goalscoring charts but could not stop Swansea's winless run extending to four matches in all competitions.

The visitors avoided a fourth-straight defeat ahead of another two testing matches against Fulham and Bristol City.

The Swans' flying start to the season had hit a speed bump after a draw and a defeat in their previous matches, but they raced into the lead after three minutes.

Connor Roberts moved the ball forward to Andre Ayew, who made a yard of space and delivered an inch-perfect cross in between Michael Morrison and Liam Moore.

Borja spotted his opportunity, moved into the space and glanced in a header for his sixth league goal of the season.

Ayew looked determined to double Swansea's lead. First he surged down the right and hit the side netting, before he was put one-on-one with Rafael Cabral following a rapid breakaway by Bersant Celina and Borja.

The Royals goalkeeper rushed out and got to the feet of the Swansea forward to smother his effort.

The breakthrough for the visitors finally came when Yiadom was given space and time on the edge of the box to fire a lethal shot across the face of goal and past Freddie Woodman into the top corner to snatch a share of the points.
