As you were in the Championship

#bbceflGetty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images 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.Posted at 16:1016:10

How they stand

FULL-TIME

Millwall 2-1 West Brom Tyler Burey's late winner lifts Millwall to fifth in the Championship. West Brom, for whom Kyle Bartley was sent off a few minutes before Burey's strike, sink to 23rd, almost unthinkable territory for the Baggies.Posted at 15:5915:59

FULL-TIME

Rotherham 2-4 Hull A superb second-half display from Hull City moves them four points of trouble as Rotherham's hopes of a third successive win bite the dust.Posted at 15:5915:59

FULL-TIME

Sheffield United 2-2 Norwich Sheffield United came back from two goals down, to earn a point and draw 2-2 with promotion rivals Norwich. Teemu Pukki put the Canaries 2-0 up inside the first 16 minutes, but Ben Osborn pulled one back before substitute Oli McBurnie equalised. Pukki then missed the chance to take all three points for Norwich as he saw a penalty saved late in the game.Posted at 15:5815:58

FULL-TIME

Sunderland 2-4 Burnley A huge win for Burnley in the context of the season. Two down at half time, but what a comeback after the break from Vincent Kompany's side. Goals from Nathan Tella, Manuel Benson, Anass Zaroury and Josh Brownhill secure the three points for the Clarets.Posted at 15:5715:57

FULL-TIME

QPR 2-1 Wigan It was very nervy near the end but QPR hang on and remain top of the Championship. Leon Balogun's header midway through the first half proves to be decisive. Exciting times for Hoops fans!Posted at 15:5515:55

Reading 2-0 Bristol City Reading end their run of three defeats on the bounce with a needed win against Bristol City. Mamadou Loum's header put the hosts in front before substitute Andy Carroll wrapped up the points deep in injury time. Posted at 15:5315:53

FULL-TIME

Blackburn 2-1 Birmingham Blackburn hold on for their third straight win. Birmingham pushed them all the way though.Posted at 15:5315:53goal

GOAL Millwall 2-1 West Brom

Tyler Burey (90 mins) The 10 men could not hang on. Tyler Burey has looked a constant danger since coming on for Millwall midway through the second half and it's fitting he gets what must be the winner. Baggies keeper Alex Palmer did not cover himself in glory, Burey's low effort somehow finding its way past him from an acute angle. But Millwall don't care - they're on the way into the play-off places.Posted at 15:5315:53

FULL-TIME

Middlesbrough 0-0 Huddersfield Goalless at the Riverside as bottom side Huddersfield collect a point at fellow strugglers Middlesbrough. The visitors created the better chances to be fair but remain at the foot of the table. Boro stay 21st, just a point above the bottom three.Posted at 15:5315:53

FULL-TIME

Stoke City 0-2 Coventry City Three wins in a row for Coventry as they beat Stoke 2-0 to continue their move up off the bottom of the league table. Jamie Allen put the Sky Blues in front early in the second half, before Gustavo Hamer made it 2-0 with 25 minutes to go. Posted at 15:5115:51goal

GOAL Sunderland 2-4 Burnley

Josh Brownhill (87 mins) Game over. Manuel Benson lays it off to Josh Brownhill and the midfielder takes one touch before finding the net with his second. What a statement in this second period from the Clarets.Posted at 15:4915:49goal

GOAL Reading 2-0 Bristol City

Andy Carroll (90+4 mins) Game, set and match for Reading. Experience comes through for the hosts as Shane Long tees up fellow substitute Andy Carroll, who coolly side-foots the ball past Max O'Leary into the net to make it 2-0. Posted at 15:4915:49

League Two update

#bbcefl It's been a crazy five minutes at the Lamex!
