    So while a Luis Suarez-inspired Barcelona were busy humbling Manchester City at the Etihad, the goals were flying in all over the place up and down the country in the Football League.

    However, all good things must come to an end, and it is indeed time to bid you farewell. But thanks for your company this evening, we've enjoyed every minute of a fun-packed programme of domestic fixtures.

    Derby County end tonight exactly where they started it - at the top of the Championship table - thanks to a comfortable 2-0 victory at home to Charlton Athletic.

    It was less routine for second-placed Middlesbrough at the Riverside, but Aitor Karanka's side got the job done with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bolton.

    Among the chasing pack, Ipswich Town recorded an eye-catching 4-2 victory over Birmingham, Norwich City came from behind to beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 and Watford eased to a 3-0 success over Rotherham United.

    Seven of the top eight teams in the Championship won. The other, Bournemouth, don't play until tomorrow. The Cherries have a tough act to follow.

    Fulham manager Kit Symons told BBC Sport: "To say that was frustrating is an understatement. I'm fuming. We looked by far the better side and had a stonewall penalty for handball turned down at 1-0. But you can't concede goals like that and still hope to win games. To go in at 3-0, it then becomes a mountain to climb."

    It's a similar tale at the other end of the table, with each of the bottom three sides losing. Blackpool's goal difference of -37 isn't looking too clever, is it?

    A notable mention for Brighton, however, who moved up to 18th with a solid victory over Leeds.

    Championship table

    An exciting night of Championship football, with 32 goals across our 11 matches, but it's pretty much as you were for the top six.

    Ipswich Town are the only movers, leapfrogging Bournemouth into third, with the Cherries not in action until tomorrow night when they visit Nottingham Forest.

    Brentford are a point behind the play-off places in seventh, while Wolves are four points further back in eighth.

    Burton missed the chance to extend their lead at the top of League Two to six points tonight, as they went down 1-0 at Accrington.

    Elsewhere, Portsmouth came from 2-0 down in the last 15 minutes to beat Tranmere 3-2 in a thriller at Fratton Park, while it finished goalless in the division's other game between Cambridge and Wimbledon.

    BBC Sport's Ian Westbrook at Griffin Park: "Totally one-sided game at Griffin Park, where only poor finishing, bad luck and great goalkeeping by Blackpool's Joe Lewis kept the score down to four. It was a surreal atmosphere that felt like training match at times, but there was delight all round the ground when Jon Toral completed his hat-trick."

    Watford wrap up a comfortable 3-0 victory over Rotherham United, after two Odion Ighalo goals, plus another from Troy Deeney.
