    Huddersfield 1-1 Ipswich

    Brandon Williams's goal three minutes from full time earns Ipswich a point which is enough to send them to the top of the table (for now) with Leicester playing tomorrow.

    Cardiff 2-0 Rotherham

    It wasn't a classic, but Cardiff finish up worthy winners.

    Rotherham substitute Arvin Appiah struck the crossbar in stoppage time but it was too little too late for the Millers, whose long run without an away league win goes on.

    Cardiff are celebrating a fourth straight Championship win thanks to second-half goals from Kion Etete and Perry Ng.

    They were 2-0 down only 15 minutes into this game but Alex Neil's side have taken the lead right at the death. Substitute Nathan Lowe is the hero of the afternoon who was unmarked at the back post and has a simple tap in.
