The EFL delivers again, with shocks down in Royal Berkshire, with Reading's win over pre-match leaders Blackburn.

Sheffield United kept up their revival with their win over Sunderland, who remain in midtable after their first loss.

Middlesbrough were denied a first win by Stoke's late heroics from D'Margio Wright-Phillips, while it was a bit calmer at the Hawthorns where West Brom and Cardiff shared a point in their goalless draw.

We'll back in just under 48 hours time with some more EFL action, when Norwich City play Millwall.

Join us, or miss out. Good night.

Well... who saw that coming?

Terrific performance from Reading. The better side from start-to-finish.

Sheffield United make it three unbeaten on the back of their opening weekend defeat by Watford, picking up a victory over 10-man Sunderland.

Anel Ahmedhodzic's header just a couple of minutes after Dan Neil was sent-off for Sunderland put the hosts in front, and a superb move finished off by Max Lowe secured the second.

Lynden Gooch made it interesting with a beautiful dink over Wes Foderingham, but the Blades held out.

The Blades' promotion bid is right back on course. Sunderland's unbeaten start ends at Bramall Lane.

What a bounce back this is for Reading having been panned 4-0 by Rotherham on Saturday.

A second win of the season for the Royals.

Tom McIntyre gave them an early lead, Junior Hoilett made it two just after an hour before Lucas Joao applied the coup de grace.

Blackburn's perfect start to the campaign ends in ignominious fashion but they remain top of the Championship.

Sunderland have had a second wind late on. But Sheffield United keep doing enough against the 10-men.

There's a Bosnia flag on display in the stands, and rightly so as Anel Ahmedhodzic has become a proper favourite at Bramall Lane.

The Baggies had the better of the first-half chances but couldn't break the deadlock.

And they didn't do enough in the second half to force a first victory of the campaign.

Cardiff had their moments too but will probably be happy with a point.

Semi Ajayi's header for Albion forces a save from Ryan Allsop as they enter four minutes of stoppage time.

WHAT A SAVE ANTHONY PATTERSON.

Reda Khadra plays a ball into Oli McBurnie, which the Sheffield United striker initially struggles to dig out of his feet, but then snap-shots low and Patterson dives low to his right.

He then beats away a thumping header from the corner, and gathers another dangerous cross on another set-piece seconds later.

He's giving his side some hope.

SEVEN minutes of added time.

Cross whistled in from the left for Sheffield United with Oli McBurnie lurking near post, but Sunderland keeper Anthony Patterson dives onto it to deny him.

Big and brave.

Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge goes down after he took a bit of a slash across the leg from a lunging Dennis Cirkin.

Sunderland boss Alex Neil still hammering out messages to his team late on. They're already down to 10.

Blades look back in control now.

Tayo Edun trying to make his mark off the bench for Blackburn but he can only drag a shot wide from the top of the area.

Looking like just one of those nights here for Rovers.

Seven minutes of stoppage time for them to endure.

Sheffield United midfielder Oliver Norwood has played in a proverbial dinner suit tonight with a Swiss army knife of a foot, and almost added a goal to his artist's collection of passes but Anthony Patterson dived desperately to claw it out.

Great effort. Sunderland cannot afford to concede.

Nothing much doing in this second half in B71.

Sheyi Ojo has carried Cardiff's biggest threat but he's withdrawn for the final 15 mins.

Can either side nick this?

Honours even then, after D'Margio Wright-Phillips pounced late on to equalise, after Duncan Watmore and a Phil Jagielka own-goal (or Watmore again depending who you ask) had put Boro 2-1 up.

Jacob Brown had opened the scoring, before Stoke let slip.

Chris Wilder's side wait for that first win. Stoke make it four points from 12.

That's it, Rovers unbeaten start to this Championship season, is pretty much over!

A good finish from the Reading substitute Joao who gathered the ball, turned, spun and finished.

The goalkeeper rooted to the spot had no chance.

Stoke running out of time in pursuit of an equaliser, and when they get a chance, Lewis Baker can't finish off on the rebound after Zach Steffen stretched to save from Jacob Brown.

Sunderland get a chance to break forward as Dennis Cirkin nods through to Jack Clarke in space on the left but the cross, sent in by Cirkin, was covered easily by Wes Foderingham.
