So the top three all won in the Championship. Not often you can say that in this division!

Yet, they all had to work hard for it as QPR and Blackburn hung on for single-goal victories at home to Wigan and Birmingham respectively.

Burnley probably would have settled for a point at the break as they trailed by two goals at Sunderland. But four goals in a sensational second half meant they left the Stadium of Light with three points, which could do wonders for their belief moving forward.

There was a thrilling game at Bramall Lane as Sheffield United and Norwich played out a 2-2 draw with Canaries striker Teemu Pukki missing a late penalty, while Millwall climb up to fifth after an injury time winner over struggling West Brom.

After all that drama, it's time for a well deserved rest!

But don't worry, we return tomorrow for two high noon derbies - Swansea versus Cardiff and Watford against Luton. They should be tasty!

Thanks for your company this afternoon. Hope you can join us again tomorrow.
