Ipswich roared back to the top of the Championship with an emphatic 3-0 win against promotion rivals Hull at Portman Road on Tuesday.

Kieran McKenna's side sit one point clear of second-placed Leicester, who can regain pole position if they avoid defeat against third-placed Preston on Wednesday.

It was only the second defeat of the season for Hull, who slipped three places to eighth as Ipswich maintained their superb start after last season's promotion from League One.

Wes Burns gave the home team the lead in the fifth minute and Conor Chaplin completed a flowing move to make it two just before the break.

Marcus Harness scored Ipswich's third goal midway through the second half from close-range.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Xisco Munoz is in danger of the sack after a 1-0 defeat against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

John Swift's 13th-minute goal settled the contest and the Owls have gone 312 minutes without a goal.

The Bluebirds had won four in a row, but Jones grabbed his first league goal of the season in the 56th minute before Latte Lath wrapped up Middlesbrough's third successive victory with six minutes left.

Birmingham powered to a 4-1 demolition of Huddersfield at St Andrew's as Siriki Dembele's brace and goals from Koji Miyoshi and Jordan James ended the hosts' barren run.
