Championship round-up: Will Keane double sends Preston to top of table

Will Keane's double secured Preston a 2-0 win at Stoke and sent his side top of the Sky Bet Championship table.

Keane, a summer signing from Wigan, scored his third and fourth goals of the season in the space of six minutes early in the second half.

He converted from the penalty spot after Wouter Burger’s foul on Duane Holmes, who then assisted for Keane’s second as the Lilywhites made it four straight league wins after their opening-day draw at Bristol City.

Freddie Ladapo fired a second-half double as Ipswich fought back from 2-0 down to beat Coventry 3-2 at Portman Road to climb up to second.

Aaron Ramsey and Joe Ralls struck either side of the break to put Cardiff in control, but Ipswich responded through Nathan Broadhead and Ladapo equalised before heading the winner.

Leicester’s six-game winning start in all competitions was halted by Hull, for whom Manchester City loanee Liam Delap scored the only goal.

Leicester went closest to an equaliser when Issahaku Fatawu’s second-half shot hit a post.

Birmingham maintained their unbeaten league start as on-loan Fulham forward Jay Stansfield’s second-half equaliser earned them a 1-1 home draw against Millwall, who had led through Kevin Nisbet’s early free-kick.

Blues striker Scott Hogan saw his penalty in first-half stoppage time saved by Millwall goalkeeper Matija Sarkic.

Southampton’s unbeaten league start came to a shuddering halt as they were thrashed 5-0 at Sunderland.

Jack Clarke and Pierre Ekwah put the Black Cats 2-0 up inside seven minutes and Ekwah added his second before the break.

Bradley Dack made it 4-0 soon after the restart and 16-year-old Chris Rigg completed the scoring when becoming Sunderland’s youngest-ever league goalscorer in time added on.
