Championship round-up: Obafemi on the mark again

Michael Obafemi scored his second goal in two weeks as Burnley cemented their place at the top of the Sky Bet Championship with a dominant 4-0 victory over struggling Huddersfield.

Vincent Kompany's impressive side were 3-0 up at half-time with goals from Ashley Barnes, Connor Roberts and Josh Brownhill.

Obafemi's strike in the second half meant a miserable trip back over the Pennines for Neil Warnock's men.

Ireland Under-20 international Tom Cannon scored the match-winner as Preston, on a run of four league games without a win, beat visitors Wigan 2-1.

Everton loanee Cannon scored the winner in the 57th minute, shortly after Daniel Johnson had equalised from the penalty spot. Wigan had gone ahead with a Greg Cunningham own goal.

Substitute Robbie Brady was sent off in stoppage time for a second booking, but Preston's 10 men survived late Latics pressure to claim three vital points.

Sheffield United, who had lost their last two league games, secured a much-needed 1-0 victory over Watford at Bramall Lane to stay in second place thanks to a Ryan Porteous own goal.

Middlesbrough's five-match winning run came to an end with a 2-0 defeat at West Brom.

Two early first-half strikes from Daryl Dike were enough for Carlos Corberan's play-off chasing side to secure the three points.

Gareth Ainsworth's first game in charge of QPR ended in defeat, with Blackburn running out 3-1 winners at Loftus Road.

Sam Gallagher put the visitors in front after 14 minutes, with QPR hitting back quickly through Tim Iroegbunam.

Sammie Szmodics put Blackburn ahead in first-half stoppage time, with Gallagher making sure of the points in the second half.

Millwall remained firmly in the play-off hunt with a slender 1-0 victory at Stoke, thanks to Zian Flemming's
