Leeds United again saw another of their promotion rivals slip up on Tuesday evening, as Brentford lost 2-1 at struggling Luton Town.
The Hatters began the evening bottom of the Championship, but were able to pull off an unlikely win over the Bees, who would have moved to within three points of Marcelo Bielsa's side with a victory.
Thomas Frank's side fell behind in the ninth minute when Shandon Baptiste put the ball into his own net before Martin Cranie doubled the Hatters advantage in first-half stoppage time.
Ollie Watkins pulled one back with seven minutes left on the clock but the west Londoners were unable to find an equaliser. They remain in fifth place on 56 points, six off Leeds.
Nottingham Forest were the evening's big winners, claiming a 1-0 win at Cardiff City to see them move into third place, three points behind Leeds in what was their first win since taking the points off Bielsa's side two-and-a-half weeks ago.
West Brom claimed a 2-0 win over playoff hopefuls Preston to extend their lead over Leeds at the top of the table to seven points.
Bristol City lost a third match in a row, meaning they remain three points adrift of the playoff spots as struggling Huddersfield dispatched Lee Johnson's men 2-1 at the John Smith's Stadium.
Fulham, the other side in the promotion mix host Swansea City on Wednesday night.
