Huddersfield Town v Blackburn Rovers
EFL Championship: Huddersfield v Blackburn
Leeds United overcame Birmingham City in a nine-goal thriller to move top of the Championship table as previous leader West Brom suffered a shock home defeat to Middlesbrough. Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds benefited from an injury time own goal at St Andrew's, Wes Harding turning Luke Ayling's low cross into the net to settle a post-Christmas cracker. The visitor had previously let slip a lead on three occasions during a see-saw contest, though by finding a late winner they leapfrog West Brom, which lost for just the second time in the league this season. Fulham moved to third after a 1-0 triumph over Stoke City, with Brentford slipping back a spot in the standings after going down to Aiden O'Brien's eighth-minute goal at in-form Millwall. Nottingham Forest moved up to fifth by beating bottom club Wigan Athletic, overtaking Sheffield Wednesday after the Owls went down 2-1 at home to Cardiff City. Preston North End also slipped up, beaten 2-0 at home by Reading. Elsewhere, Bristol City eased past Luton Town, Steve Mounie was the hero for Huddersfield Town in a 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers and Hull City won by the same scoreline at QPR. Swansea City's meeting with Barnsley, meanwhile, ended in stalemate, the only goalless draw on a busy day in England's second tier.
