C'ship round-up: Long, McClean, Dunne all on target

Shane Long slotted home an early penalty on his return to the Madejski Stadium, equalising Callum O'Dowda's early goal as Reading came from behind to take the spoils at home to Cardiff City.

Long, in his first home game for Reading since departing the club back in 2011, slipped home a 27th minute penalty as the home fans serenaded the Irish striker with chants of 'There's only one Shane Long'.

His international teammate O'Dowda had put the visitors in front early with a fifth minute header. A second-half stunner from Tom Ince delivered a first victory of the season for Paul Ince's side.

James McClean was on target at Carrow Road as Norwich were made to wait again for their first win of the season on their Championship return as they drew 1-1 against promoted Wigan. McClean pounced on Ben Gibson's mistake to hand Wigan the lead, with the Canaries struggling again after the 1-0 opening-weekend loss at Cardiff.

Max Aarons scrambled a draw with a smart finish just past the hour mark but Norwich will already be feeling the jitters after a frustrating start to the campaign.

Republic of Ireland midfielder Sammie Szmodics' debut strike helped send Blackburn top of the Championship with a 3-0 win at Swansea.

Szmodics made a quick impact on his maiden outing after the switch from Peterborough, with Ben Brereton Diaz and Lewis Travis also on target. Rovers are the only side to boast two wins from two matches in the embryonic Championship campaign, topping the table ahead of promoted Sunderland.

Jimmy Dunne got on the scoresheet for QPR - albeit in rather fortuitous fashion - as they withstood a second-half fightback from Middlesbrough to win 3-2 in west London.

After Chris Willock had put the hosts in front, Dunne doubled their advantage
