Huddersfield moved into third place thanks to a 2-0 home win against Ipswich on Saturday afternoon.

Izzy Brown's stunning strike - his first goal for the club - gave David Wagner's side an interval lead before defender Chris Schindler made it 2-0 just before the hour-mark.

In the lunch-time kick-off, Chris Martin squandered an early penalty before firing Fulham's second-half equaliser as the west London derby at QPR ended 1-1.

Martin, whose seventh-minute penalty was saved by Alex Smithies after Jake Bidwell had bundled over Sone Aluko, equalised with 15 minutes left to cancel out Ryan Manning's first goal for QPR in the first half.

Norwich secured just their second win in six league matches with a 3-1 home victory against 10-man Wolves.

Wander Helder Costa's 57th-minute penalty, following Daniel Ivo Pinto's foul on Matt Doherty, cancelled out Steven Naismith's opener for Norwich, who regained the lead through Robbie Brady's spot-kick after Carl Ikeme had been sent off for hauling down Wes Hoolahan.

Jonny Howson's stoppage-time effort made sure for the Canaries, who now lie five points off the top six.

Blackburn and Birmingham drew 1-1 at Ewood Park with both goals scored before the break.

Danny Graham equalised for Blackburn in first-half stoppage time after Lukas Jutkiewicz's early penalty, for Jason Steele's foul on David Cotterill, had given Birmingham the lead.

Sam Morsy and Harlee Dean's own goal helped Wigan to a 2-1 home win against Brentford.

Morsy opened the scoring midway through the first half and Dean put through his own net four minutes later, while Ramallo Jota grabbed Brentford's late consolation.

Rhys Healey's stoppage-time header clinched Cardiff a 1-0 home win against Burton and Nottingham Forest secured their first league win in eight courtesy of Ben Osborn's second-half goal in a 1-0 win against visitors Bristol City.
