Bristol City Stun Burnley as West Ham and Middlesbrough Win
Bristol City scored twice in the closing stages to beat Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor and leave the relegated hosts at the bottom of the Championship. According to a Press Association roundup published by The Guardian, Rob Dickie equalised in the 82nd minute before substitute Yu Hirakawa completed the turnaround with a stoppage-time strike.
Watch the highlights:
Burnley had taken the lead through Aaron Ramsey in the 56th minute, but could not protect their advantage. The defeat left manager Nicky Hayen with two points from five league matches since his appointment in July following the club's relegation from the Premier League. Supporters expressed their frustration after the final whistle, with some directing their anger toward owner Alan Pace. Hayen said he understood their disappointment and that his team had to continue fighting and showing resilience.
West Ham earned their second home victory in five days by beating Derby 3-0. Joël Piroe opened the scoring early, before substitutes Edvin Austbø and Mohamadou Kanté added late goals. Both substitutes registered their first goals for the club, giving the final score a more emphatic appearance after West Ham had lost some of their early fluency.
Middlesbrough moved into second place with a 1-0 victory at previously unbeaten Queens Park Rangers. Will Lankshear scored the only goal in the first half, extending his run to seven goals in seven matches since his summer move from Tottenham. Millwall also returned to winning form with a 4-0 home victory over Bolton. Lyndon Dykes scored his first two goals for the club, while a late run of three goals in nine minutes widened the margin. Both teams finished with 10 players after Jenson Metcalfe and Josh Sheehan were sent off for violent conduct.
Norwich secured their first away win of the season by defeating Sheffield United 3-1. Anthony Musaba, Mohamed Touré and Mathias Kvistgaarden scored for Norwich, while Patrick Bamford replied for the hosts. West Brom beat Watford 1-0 through Jimmy-Jay Morgan's 36th-minute goal. It was the 20-year-old's fifth goal of the season and extended Albion's unbeaten home league run to 10 matches.
Elsewhere, Mikkel Ladefoged scored late to earn Lincoln a 1-1 draw against Southampton after Welington had put the visitors ahead. Stoke defeated 10-man Charlton 4-0, with debutant Justin Devenny scoring twice, while Callum Lang's early double helped Preston beat local rivals Blackburn 2-1. The results formed part of a busy Championship programme shaped by several decisive late goals.
