Leeds back on top of Championship after win over Luton

Leeds have moved back to the top of the English Championship table courtesy of a comfortable 3-0 win over Luton at Elland Road.

Sam Byram gave the home side an early lead when he reacted quickest to volley into the far corner after seeing his initial shot blocked.

Joel Piroe made it 2-0 from close range in first-half injury-time after Pascal Struijk's header from a corner was parried by Thomas Kaminski.

Dan James completed the scoring in the 81st minute by lobbing Kaminski.

The win takes Leeds above Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United in the table on goal difference.

Blackburn climbed to within two points of opponents Middlesbrough in the play-off places with a 1-0 win at the Riverside.

Todd Cantwell had a goal disallowed for offside in the 72nd minute, but soon after set up Dominic Hyam to tap home the only goal of the game from close range.

Queens Park Rangers moved off the bottom of the table after a 2-0 win at Cardiff, their first victory in 13 league games.

Zan Celar, who missed a penalty against Stoke at the weekend, scored his first goal for the club with a superb turn and finish shortly before halftime, then sealed the win on the counter-attack in injury time.

A thumping finish inside the first two minutes from Zan Vipotnik set Swansea on their way to a 2-1 win at Derby.

Ronald doubled Swansea's lead with a smart finish in the 14th minute, and the visitors held on for the win after Nathaniel Mendez-Laing converted a 65th-minute penalty, awarded for Cyrus Christie fouling Tom Barkhuizen in the area.

Portsmouth's game with Millwall had to be called off after  a power failure shortly before kick-off at Fratton Park.
