Championship round-up: Foxes beaten, Adam Idah, Callum Robinson and Will Smallbone find the net

Leicester's perfect away record was ended by a 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough and they are only top of the Championship on goal difference after Ipswich’s win against Swansea.

Sam Greenwood’s late goal at the Riverside Stadium saw the Foxes drop points on the road for the first time this season while Ipswich came from behind to claim a 3-1 win at Portman Road.

Jay Fulton gave the Swans an early lead but Jack Fulton levelled with a long-range stunner before Conor Chaplin put Ipswich in front and George Hirst added a third with a penalty.

Republic of Ireland forwards Callum Robinson and Adam Idah were both on the scoresheet as Norwich ended their poor run of form with a much-needed 3-2 victory at Cardiff.

Robinson put the Welsh side 2-1 up just before the break but Ryan Wintle scored an own-goal in the 82nd minute and two minutes later Idah grabbed the winner.

Third-placed Leeds kept up the pressure on the top two with a 2-1 victory at home to Plymouth.

First-half goals from Dan James and Joel Piroe put Leeds in control but Ben Waine’s late goal set up a nervy finish.

Southampton remain a point further back in fourth after Adam Armstrong’s 79th-minute goal sealed a 2-1 win against West Brom.

Ireland midfielder Will Smallbone had given the hosts an early lead before Kyle Bartley equalised in the 65th minute.

Sunderland extended Wayne Rooney’s winless start to his reign as Birmingham manager with a 3-1 victory at the Stadium of Light.

Former Birmingham youngster Jobe Bellingham’s opener was cancelled out by Koji Miyoshi but Sunderland took control in the second half with a Dion Sanderson own goal and a close-range finish from Adil Aouchiche.

In contrast to Rooney’s struggles, new Millwall head coach Joe Edwards enjoyed a dream start with
