Swansea moved into second place in the Championship with a 2-0 win against Blackburn, while fellow promotion chasers Bournemouth had to settle for a draw against Derby on Saturday. With leaders Reading losing at Coventry on Friday, Swansea moved within four points of the surprise pace-setters. Goals in each half from Ben Cabango and Andre Ayew saw the south Wales club climb above Bournemouth. An 81st-minute Rodrigo Riquelme equaliser earned the Cherries a 1-1 draw after Graeme Shinnie put Derby ahead in the first half. Riquelme's leveller preserved the English Football League's last remaining unbeaten run. Teemu Pukki netted a first-half double to lead Norwich to a deserved 3-1 victory over Bristol City at Ashton Gate. There were only six minutes on the clock when Pukki struck for the first time, before a deflected effort doubled his tally eight minutes later. Jack Hunt pulled a goal back for Bristol City within a minute, but Emi Buendia slotted past Dan Bentley in first-half stoppage time to re-establish the advantage. Middlesbrough moved into the play-off positions after Marvin Johnson's 81st-minute strike secured a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Wycombe finally secured their first win of the season as they overcame the absence of manager Gareth Ainsworth to beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 thanks to David Wheeler's goal in first-half stoppage-time. Ainsworth was watching the game from a hospital after undergoing back surgery on Friday. Millwall, whose entire first-team coaching staff are self-isolating following positive tests for manager Gary Rowett and two other staff members, lost 3-0 to Huddersfield. Barnsley beat Watford 1-0 at Oakwell thanks to Alex Mowatt's stunning early effort. James McClean got Stoke's goal in a 1-0 victory over Rotherham, while Brentford were 3-0 winners at Luton.
