Kieran Sadlier also scored from the penalty spot as Rotherham United took an 87th minute lead in a Championship fixture at Birmingham City, but the home side equalised, also with a penalty, in the 95th minute.

Lee Tomlin scored late on for Cardiff City against Reading, but it was too little too late against the surprise Championship leaders who ran out 2-1 winners.

Centre-back Ryan Tafazolli made his first Wycombe Wanderers start in a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Swansea. To the surprise of very few Wycombe have lost their first three Championship fixtures without scoring a goal and would be bottom, but for Sheffield Wednesday’s 12-point deduction.
