Charlton moved top of the Championship after Karlan Grant’s goal secured a 1-0 win over Preston, leaving them as the division’s only side with a perfect record. Southampton also produced the day’s standout result, recovering from an early setback to beat Millwall 5-1 and erase their four-point Spygate deduction.

Charlton have won their first three second-tier matches for the first time since 1992-93, while Millwall’s own perfect start ended at St Mary’s despite Mark Sykes scoring first. Wolves came from behind to defeat Stoke 4-1 and sit second, Swansea won 3-0 at Derby to remain unbeaten and third, Blackpool beat Peterborough 4-0, and Leicester remain without a win after drawing 0-0 at MK Dons.
