Championship wrap: Adam Idah bags brace, Leicester go top

Republic of Ireland striker Adam Idah scored twice for Norwich but saw his side suffer a 6-2 thrashing at the hands of Plymouth Argyle in the Sky Bet Championship.

The Cork native's second-half brace, which takes him up to four goals for the season, proved no more than a consolation for a Canaries side that found themselves trailing 4-0 at half-time.

Plymouth forward Morgan Whittaker scored his first Championship hat-trick, while Dan Scarr, Finn Azaz and Luke Cundle also netted for the hosts at Home Park.

At the top, a Jamie Vardy penalty proved enough for Leicester to take over at the Championship summit with a 1-0 win over Bristol City.

Nigel Pearson's first return to the King Power Stadium since leaving the club in 2015 ended in defeat as Vardy, who Pearson signed 11 years ago from Fleetwood, converted a 67th-minute spot-kick after Kal Naismith fouled Wilfred Ndidi.

Leicester replaced Preston at the top of the table after North End's winning streak came to a halt with a 1-1 draw at Rotherham.

Preston had won their last six but were held by the Millers, with former North End man Jordan Hugill netting for the home side.

Liam Lindsay equalised just before half-time from Ireland international Robbie Brady's whipped delivery.

Ipswich climbed to second after a goal from Australia midfielder Massimo Luongo 11 minutes from time helped cap a pulsating 4-3 home victory over Blackburn.

Goals from Harry Clarke, Nathan Broadhead and George Hirst put Town in control in the first half after Arnor Sigurdsson equalised before an own goal from Clarke and the Ireland-eligible Sammie Szmodics made it 3-3.

Middlesbrough moved off the foot of the table as they came from behind to beat Southampton 2-1.
