Championship: Leeds reclaim top spot as Lampard gets first win at Coventry - Soccer News
Briefly

Leeds United's 2-0 victory over Derby County not only marked a crucial comeback from a previous defeat but also placed them back at the top of the Championship table. With Joe Rodon and Max Wober scoring their first goals for the club, Daniel Farke's team leveraged this win to overtake Sheffield United on goal difference, showcasing their competitive spirit. This decisive performance underscores their ambition to remain a leading force in the league.
Frank Lampard celebrated his inaugural victory as Coventry City’s manager with a 1-0 win against Millwall, successfully halting a five-match winless streak. The match was decisive for the team, as the goal by Ephron Mason-Clark not only secured the win but also disrupted Millwall’s nine-game unbeaten run, delivering a significant morale boost for Lampard's side amidst their recent struggles.
Sunderland’s strong performance, highlighted by Tom Watson's two goals in a 2-1 win over Stoke City, ended their own six-match winless streak and propelled them closer to the Championship leaders. The 18-year-old’s quick equalizer and subsequent winner provided not only three vital points but also restored confidence in the squad, as they now find themselves just two points shy of the top two, creating a competitive dynamic in the league.
In a tense clash, Blackburn’s narrow 1-0 victory over Hull City was marked by a Sean McLoughlin own goal. This result not only helped Blackburn maintain their pursuit of the top four—trailing Sunderland by four points—but also left Hull at the bottom of the table, a challenging start for new manager Ruben Selles who witnessed the defeat from the stands.
