Championship wrap: Reading end Blackburn's run

Reading ended Blackburn's 100 per cent start to the Sky Bet Championship season with a 3-0 win, with Shane Long and Jeff Hendrick both starting for the Royals.

Reading, who were hammered 4-0 at Rotherham on Saturday, bounced back in style as Tom McIntyre, David Hoilett and Lucas Joao scored the goals in Berkshire.

McIntyre headed home in the 13th minute and Hoilett smashed in from an acute angle on the hour.

Joao then sealed the three points with 12 minutes to go when he fired home Tyrese Fornah's cross. Blackburn had no answer but remain on top of the table after four games.

Sheffield United are up to fourth after a 2-1 win over 10-man Sunderland.

Dan Neil saw red for hauling down James McAtee in the 31st minute and two minutes later Anel Ahmedhodzic headed the Blades in front.

Max Lowe's close-range finish doubled the home advantage shortly after the restart before Lynden Gooch gave the Black Cats hope with a breakaway goal.

D'Margio Wright-Phillips showed he got the goalscoring gene as he struck in injury time to earn Stoke a 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough.

The son of Shaun Wright-Phillips and grandson of Ian Wright headed home Lewis Baker's cross at the death to deny Boro a first win of the campaign.

Stoke went ahead in the 19th minute through Jacob Brown but Duncan Watmore cancelled that out just before half-time.

Boro then took the lead midway through the second half when Phil Jagielka, celebrating his 40th birthday, put through his own net, but Wright-Phillips saved the day.

West Brom are still looking for their first win of the season after they drew 0-0 with Cardiff.
