    FT: Swansea 2-1 Norwich

    Brilliant win for Swansea today, after a short period of time to prepare for the match they done very well to come through on top. Three tough games next: Millwall, West Ham, QPR - we should know after these where we actually stand in the Championship!

    Swansea travel to Millwall on Tuesday before hosting West Ham on Saturday and then round out their London trilogy with a visit to Loftus Road the following weekend.

    Manager Michael Skubala reflects on Bristol City's 1-1 draw at Charlton Athletic.

    Bristol City were denied a potential red card for hosts Charlton Athletic when Addicks keeper Arthur Okonkwo took down winger Yu Hirakawa just outside the box following a loose headed pass.

    City boss Michael Skubala told BBC Radio Bristol:

    "I think, all in all, when the dust settles, it's a good point on the road. This is a very hard place to come. They don't give much away at all. They put your back-line under a lot of pressure.

    "I think we started the game slow and when you go 1-0 down here, it's going to be a really tough day, but we got back into it.

    "We had some good moments. I think we could have scored another one, but I think, all in all, it's probably a fair result."

    On Arthur Okonkwo's challenge on Yu Hirakawa: "I think by the laws of the game, when the keeper brings down a player outside the box, it's a red card. It looked like there was contact, it looked like it was a foul. Yeah, it looked like a free-kick and a red card."

    Charlton extended their winless streak to a sixth game with their 1-1 draw against Bristol City but remain unbeaten at home this season.

    Addicks manager Nathan Jones told BBC Radio London:

    "I'm a bit disappointed really because you know we've worked on a load in the last two weeks, freshened them up.

    "We started really well, looked fluid, scored and then we didn't really go on. We stopped passing the ball well, gave the ball away, were deep, were passive and that was the frustration.

    "Their goal, I'm really disappointed because it's someone rushing out, dangling their leg and that's the second time he's [Conor Coventry] done that. He has to be better at that because he's a defensive midfield player.

    "We were better when we changed shape in the second half. We had the best chance of the game to win it and overall I'm disappointed."

    FT: Middlesbrough 1-0 Wolves

    Wolves manager needs to address some serious issues, is he capable? Defence poorly organised, no single player taking command and front men cannot finish the job. No surprises why Saints dumped Armstrong.

    Steve, Stanford-le-Hope

    Wolves have dropped to fifth after a second defeat of the season. They do have a game in hand on the four teams above them though.

    • Swansea’s 20 points so far this season is their second highest nine games into a league season in their history, after 1923-24 in the Third Division South (24, converted to three points/win).
    • Burnley earned their first win in 21 league games, with their 4-0 victory at Watford their biggest on the road since April 2025 (5-0 v QPR).
    • Patrick Bamford has scored 18 goals in all competitions in his two seasons with Sheffield United (39 appearances), more than he did in his final four campaigns with Leeds United (17 goals in 95 games).
    • No Championship player has scored more league goals either overall or in home games this season than Middlesbrough’s Will Lankshear, with six of his seven goals coming at the Riverside Stadium.
    • Millwall are unbeaten in their last 15 league games against Preston (W9 D6), their second longest run against an opponent in their league history (17 vs Crystal Palace between 1950 and 1958).

    Norwich fell to a third successive Championship defeat despite taking the lead at leaders Swansea.

    Canaries boss Philippe Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk:

    "It's frustrating to not get anything out of the game.

    "We competed until the last seconds with a few good chances late on.

    "I saw a much better performance than against Bolton (lost 4-3).

    "Maybe some players were thinking too much about the result and freezing a bit; they didn't have the same intensity.

    "We stepped up in the last half hour with some good chances, but we need to take those moments like Swansea did because then it would have been a deserved draw."

    Swansea City are two points clear at the top of the Championship.

    They came from behind to beat Norwich 2-1 at lunchtime.

    The Swans head coach Vitor Matos spoke to BBC Wales:

    "We lacked a little bit of precision in the first half in some situations, but it was something that we could easily improve.

    "We suffered with the goal but bounced back quite well and I think we improved a lot in the second half in terms of rhythm and in terms of intensity as well.

    "It's really important for us to win more than anything because we've had players flying around, joining in the last few days so it's not been the most easy to prepare.

    "It's always important when you can get results after this international break so I'm really happy."

    Sam Szmodics thought he had given Derby their first home win of the season in the Championship.

    Wrexham equalised with two minutes of regulation time remaining.

    The Rams goalscorer has told BBC Radio Derby:

    "For 88 minutes we were really good but we switched off for a deep cross - I'm bored of saying it, for 88 minutes we deserved to win and we keep making the same errors.

    "We were brilliant for 88 minutes and I felt comfortable all game but at this level you can't switch off.

    "The emotion is raw, everyone in there cares and we've got to do better.

    "There are so many positives in that game but if you switch off for half a second you get punished - we've been so good again and we deserve a lot more."

    This is start.

    You've got to find a win somewhere, but it's one game.

    Good all round day and you'd hope that this is start now because every performance has been pretty poor, but today there was some good passages of play.

    So, on to Charlton now and can you follow-up this performance and get another win?

    Will Lankshear's goal puts Middlesbrough into second place, two points below league leaders Swansea.

    Graham Alexander starts his Preston reign with a birthday defeat by Millwall, who move into the top eight, that leaves his new charges rock bottom of the league.

    Burnley claim an emphatic victory over Watford but remain in the bottom three on goal difference.

    That's defeat number five in their past six and we all know the history of Watford and now the pressure now goes over to Alessio Dionisi.

    The first 25 minutes were almost unbelievable. They were all over the place. The goals Burnley scored were so easy.

    That feels big for Stoke as they record a fifth win in a six-game unbeaten run.

    They had defender Maksym Talovierov sent-off in the first half but goals from Lamine Cisse and Ben Wilmot gave them a more than deserved victory against a disappointing Bolton side who had won their previous two games.

    Theo Bair's stoppage-time strike is of little consolation for Bolton boss Steven Schumacher against his former club.
