    Kasey McAteer celebrates scoring for LeicesterImage source, Rex Features

    That's as far as we go today on an incredibly dramatic Saturday of EFL action.

    Leicester will end the weekend top of the Championship thanks to Kasey McAteer's double at Rotherham to keep their 100% start to the season going.

    Leeds claimed their first win of the season to end Ipswich's winning start to the campaign with a stunning 4-3 victory at Portman Road and the Blues' local rivals Norwich are up to second after a 4-0 win at lowly Huddersfield.

    In League One, Oxford beat Charlton 2-1 to go top and Exeter went second with a late, late win over Reading.

    MK Dons hit top spot in League Two with a win over bottom-of-the-table Doncaster and Gillingham's 100% start is brought to an end by a 3-0 home reverse by Colchester.

    We'll be back tomorrow with live text of Watford v Blackburn in the Championship from 11:45 BST.

    Thanks for your company today and hope you can join us then.

    Cheers!
