Leeds cuts gap at the top of the Championship
Leeds United climbed to second in the EFL Championship, three points behind leader Sunderland, after a 3-0 victory at home to Plymouth Argyle.
Daniel Farke's side dominated the opening 30 minutes of the match before three goals in eight minutes put the game to bed inside the first half.
Dan James opened the scoring on the half-hour mark, firing into the top corner from the edge of the area, before Joel Piroe and Brenden Aaronson made it comfortable.
The result marked Plymouth's fourth game without a victory and it dropped into the bottom three on goal difference because of results elsewhere.
Sunderland was held to a goalless draw away to second-bottom Queens Park Rangers, which opened the door for those below to reduce the lead at the top of the table.
While Dan Neil hit the post for the Black Cats in the first half, it was the hosts that were the better performers for long periods.
The game turned in the second half when Jobe Bellingham was sent off after 58 minutes for a poor challenge on Zan Celar, but neither side was able to find a winner.
Elsewhere, Watford moved above West Bromwich Albion into fifth after it hammered Sheffield Wednesday 6-2 at Hillsborough for the Hornets' second away win of the season.
The result ended a six-game losing run on the road for Watford, which was drawing 1-1 at half-time and saw Vakoun Bayo score four goals inside 30 second-half minutes.
Coventry City also made it back-to-back league wins for the first time this season with a 3-0 victory away to Middlesbrough that moved it up to 13th.
The hosts had Hayden Hackney sent off after 22 minutes for two yellow cards, which allowed the Sky Blues to ease to three points. As a result, Michael Carrick's side is three points off the play-off positions in 10th.
