Tuesday review

Jordan Spence's late header secured a dramatic 4-3 victory for high-flying Ipswich as they maintained their 100 per cent start to the Sky Bet Championship at Millwall.

Mick McCarthy's side had traded at 9/1 in-running with Sky Bet with the teams level at 3-3 but Spence popped up at the death and means his side have been cut from 80/1 into 66s for the title with the sponsors.

The Tractor Boys have now made their best start to a campaign since they last won promotion to the Premier League 17 years ago and this third straight win which sunk the £1million Super 6 jackpot will be even sweeter after Millwall thought they had snatched a point.

Jed Wallace fired Millwall ahead inside 44 seconds, but Joe Garner and Martyn Waghorn turned the game around for Ipswich before Aiden O'Brien equalised for the hosts.

Waghorn added his second on the stroke of half-time before Tom Elliott levelled again with 10 minutes left, only for Spence to nod in David McGoldrick's free-kick in the 88th minute.

Cardiff are 9/1 from 14s as they maintained their 100 per cent start as well to stay top with a 2-0 home win over Sheffield United, but Aston Villa dropped into the relegation zone after losing at Reading.

Sean Morrison headed the Bluebirds in front from a corner just before the interval before midfielder Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, a summer signing from Rochdale, netted his fourth goal of the season 10 minutes into the second half.

That left Cardiff flying high at the summit, but Villa are still searching for their first Championship win after going down 2-1 at the Madejski Stadium.

Steve Bruce's men have been trimmed to 40/1 from 50/1 for relegation as they found themselves behind four minutes into the second half when Glenn Whelan deflected Adrian Popa's cross into his own net, which goal-line technology confirmed had crept in.

The Royals, beaten on penalties in last season's play-off final, then doubled their lead after 55 minutes through a close-range effort from Mo Barrow.

Villa, one of the pre-season promotion favourites under new skipper John Terry, pulled a late goal back through Conor Hourihane but it was not enough to prevent them slipping into the bottom two.

Wolves (7/2 from 4/1 for the title) also made it three league wins in a row after they won 3-2 at Hull.

The visitors raced into an early lead through Ruben Neves, the £15.8m summer signing from Porto, but Hull were back on level terms after 27 minutes when Michael Dawson headed home a corner.

On-loan Atletico Madrid midfielder Diogo Jota put the visitors back in front two minutes ahead of the break, with substitute Ricardo Cavaleiro slotting home a third in stoppage time.

With nine minutes having been added on, Hull pulled a goal back through David Meyler's penalty, but there was to be no grandstand finale.

Barnsley picked up their first points of the new campaign with a 2-1 home win over Nottingham Forest.

The Tykers took the lead after just four minutes through a header from Matty Pearson, but Daryl Murphy nodded Forest level after 26 minutes.

A close-range strike from Ryan Hedges proved to be Barnsley's winner five minutes into the second half.

There were no goals at St Andrew's between Birmingham and Bolton, while Leeds and Fulham were also unable to break the deadlock at Elland Road.

Bristol City grabbed an equaliser deep into eight minutes of stoppage time to bag a 2-2 draw at Brentford, where midfielder Josh McEachran was taken off on a stretcher late on.

City had raced ahead after only five minutes through Josh Brownhill before Ollie Watkins headed in an equaliser after 56 minutes.

Brentford substitute Neal Maupay looked to have secured all three points with 13 minutes to go, but the visitors grabbed a last-gasp draw when Bobby Reid scrambled the ball over the line.

A 58th-minute penalty from Matej Vydra was enough to give Derby a 1-0 home win over Preston while Britt Assombalonga scored twice as Middlesbrough (11/2 from 6/1) beat 10-man Burton 2-0 at the Riverside Stadium.

Albion's miserable night on Teesside was compounded when substitute Hope Akpan, who had not been on long, was shown a straight red card for a clumsy challenge after 78 minutes.
