Championship round-up: Burnley's buffer now 11 points

A Burnley side featuring Josh Cullen extended their lead at the top of the Sky Bet Championship leaders with a 1-0 win at Luton, who finished with 10 men.

Vincent Kompany's side broke the deadlock with 12 minutes left when Ashley Barnes converted a penalty after handball by Gabriel Osho.

Hatters defender Tom Lockyer picked up two cautions either side of the spot-kick.

The Clarets, who had loanee Michael Obafemi on the bench, moved 11 points clear of second-placed Sheffield United, who were beaten 3-2 in Saturday’s early kick-off at Millwall.

The Blades had suffered a first defeat in 11 Championship games at home to Middlesbrough on Wednesday night and were behind to an early goal from Tom Bradshaw.

Tommy Doyle equalised before half-time with a long-range free-kick, but Bradshaw headed the hosts back in front just after the hour.

Although James McAtee levelled things up again, hat-trick hero Bradshaw grabbed the winner with just two minutes left, which saw the Lions end the afternoon in sixth place.

At the other end of the table, new Huddersfield boss Neil Warnock made an instant impact with a 2-1 home win over Birmingham.

Troy Deeney gave the Blues an early lead before Watford loanee Jo Hungbo – one of seven changes to the side – equalised in the 25th minute following a swift break to score his first goal for the Terriers.

Jaheim Headley completed the turnaround four minutes into the second half when he raced on to a pass from goalkeeper Nicholas Bilokapic to also open his Huddersfield account.

There was a lengthy stoppage during the second half when Blues midfielder Krystian Bielik was taken off on a stretcher following a clash with Etienne Camara, but Warnock’s men held out to move within two points of safety.
