Hull City went top of the Championship after picking up a 1-0 win away at struggling Fulham.

Leading scorer Abel Hernandez, who has 15 goals for the Tigers this season, scored an 80th-minute penalty after Lasse Vigen Christensen fouled Moses Odubajo, and the victory took Hull a point clear of second-placed Middlesbrough.

Nottingham Forest were 1-0 winner at the Riverside Stadium as the host lost its second consecutive league match.

Forest, unbeaten in domestic competition in its last 12 games, scored when Ben Osborn set up James Ward to slide the ball past Dimi Konstantopoulos, ending Boro's run of 851 minutes of play without conceding on home turf.

Bolton enjoyed a respite from the financial catastrophe engulfing its club with a 3-1 win over MK Dons at the Reebok Stadium to claim only its third Championship win of the season, while fellow struggler Charlton Athletic was held 1-1 by Blackburn Rovers at The Valley.
