That's how strong the top of the Championship is this season.
Plymouth 3-3 Wycombe

Bottom side Newport threw away a two-goal second-half lead as they lost 3-2 at home to Portsmouth, who are now just five points behind Carlisle in the automatic promotion places following the Cumbrians' 1-1 draw at Crewe.
Doncaster are a further two points ahead of Pompey after their win at Notts County.

Callum Harriott
Reading's fifth consecutive win at the Madejski is secured as Callum Harriott drills in to put them two goals clear of 10-man Norwich.
