Championship
• With Middlesbrough’s trip to Blackburn postponed, Derby took advantage with a home victory over managerless Fulham. A Tim Ream own goal and a late Jacob Butterfield strike sent Paul Clement’s team, who took just four points from their first five matches of the season, top of the table.
• Hull climbed up to third on goal difference with a 3-0 win over Burnley. Jake Livermore, Abel Hernández and Sam Clucas were all on target at the KC Stadium, while Brighton were held to a goalless draw at Brentford.
• A late header by captain Luke Chambers earned Ipswich victory over QPR, while Sheffield Wednesday stayed on their heels in the play-off race with a 3-0 win over Birmingham, Fernando Forestieri scoring twice at Hillsborough.
• At the bottom, Rotherham moved out of the relegation zone after thrashing crisis-hit Bolton 4-0, while in another big basement battle, Harry Lennon scored an injury-time equaliser for Charlton at Bristol City. Josh Murphy snatched a late winner for MK Dons over Cardiff, and Nakhi Wells scored twice as Huddersfield beat Preston 3-0.
League One
• Life goes on for Walsall after Dean Smith’s departure. The Saddlers won 1-0 at Millwall to go top of the table, with Milan Lalkovic scoring the only goal. Fellow promotion hopefuls Gillingham and Coventry also won; the Gills beat Swindon 3-1 at the County Ground, while Coventry edged past Port Vale thanks to James Maddison’s late winner.
• Conor Washington’s double helped Peterborough beat Chesterfield and climb to fifth, with the new Spireites manager Danny Wilson in the stands. Southend boosted their play-off hopes with a 2-0 derby win at bottom club Colchester, while Scunthorpe won 1-0 at Doncaster and strugglers Shrewsbury and Fleetwood played out a 1-1 draw.
• Former leaders Burton’s trip to Bradford was called off, along with Blackpool v Oldham, Bury v Barnsley, Rochdale v Crewe, and Wigan v Sheffield United as Storm Eva caused disruption across the north of England.
League Two
• Leyton Orient ended a run of five straight draws, beating Portsmouth 3-2 at the Matchroom Stadium. Ollie Palmer scored twice for the hosts as both teams finished the game with 10 men. Pompey lost ground in the title race as leaders Plymouth earned a narrow 1-0 win over struggling Yeovil, and Oxford strolled to a 3-0 win over Exeter.
• Dagenham & Redbridge remain bottom of the pile after crashing to a 3-0 home defeat to Cambridge. John Akinde’s double saw Barnet beat Newport and Roarie Deacon scored a late winner for Crawley against Stevenage.
• Wycombe moved into the play-off places with a 2-0 victory at Luton. The day’s other fixtures – Accrington v Carlisle, Hartlepool v Notts County, Morecambe v Mansfield and York v Northampton – were all postponed.
