Leeds reclaims top spot, Lampard gets first win
Leeds United returned to the top of the EFL Championship table after a 2-0 win against visitor Derby County at Elland Road while elsewhere, former Rams boss Frank Lampard grabbed his first win at new club Coventry City.
Joe Rodon and Max Wober scored their first goals for Leeds as Daniel Farke's side bounced back from a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers in its previous match.
While the Rams, which have only won once in their past 10 games, dropped to 16th place, Leeds overtook Sheffield United, which faces West Bromwich Albion on Monday (AEDT), on goal difference.
Lampard earned his first win as Coventry City beat hosts Millwall 1-0, ending a five-match winless run.
The former England and Chelsea midfielder took charge at Coventry last month, succeeding long-serving boss Mark Robins and his first win came courtesy of an Ephron Mason-Clark goal, which snapped Millwall's nine-match unbeaten run.
Tom Watson scored twice as Sunderland ended a six-match run without a win by defeating Stoke City 2-1 at The Stadium of Light.
The 18-year-old equalised for the hosts in the seventh minute, only a minute after Lewis Koumas put the Potter ahead, before he found the winner with a deflected strike three minutes from full-time.
Fourth-placed Sunderland is now only two points behind the top two.
Elsewhere in the Championship, a Sean McLoughlin own goal proved to be the difference between the sides as Blackburn edged Hull City 1-0.
New Hull manager Ruben Selles watched from the stands as his side fell to the bottom of the table while Rovers kept pace with the top four as they trail Sunderland by four points.
