Championship round-up: Fulham thrashed at home to Bristol City as Tammy Abraham scores again

CHELSEA loanee Tammy Abraham scored his tenth goal of the season as Bristol City thrashed Fulham 4-0 at Craven Cottage.

Lee Johnson’s side were ruthless going forward and put Fulham to the sword just 10 minutes into the game through Abraham.

The away side then scored three in 23 second half minutes as Luke Freeman, Bobby Reid and Aden Flint completed the rout with Kevin McDonald seeing red for the home side.

Elsewhere Norwich moved to the top of the table with a 3-1 win over Burton as Huddersfield crashed to a 1-0 defeat at Reading as the home side survived a second half rally.

Brighton are up to third with a convincing 2-0 win at home to Barnsley thanks to a brace from Glenn Murray.

At the other end of the table Wigan’s 1-0 defeat at Preston on Friday leaves them rock bottom of the league.

Cardiff also climbed out of the relegation zone as they came from behind to beat fellow strugglers Rotherham 2-1, Rickie Lambert netting a second-half brace after Chelsea loan man Izzy Brown had put the Millers in front.

Joao Teixeira’s brace inspired Wolves to a 3-1 win over Brentford as they close in on a playoff spot and Birmingham extended their unbeaten away record but had to settle for a 1-1 draw at QPR after Lukas Jutkiewicz’s opener was cancelled out before half-time by Steven Caulker’s header.

Derby’s poor start to the season continued as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat at home to Blackburn. Ben Marshall missed a first-half penalty for Rovers and they looked set to pay the price when Matej Vydra finally netted the Rams’ first home league goal of the season.

Chris Wood also scored for a fourth successive game to maintain Leeds’ revival with a 1-0 win at home to Ipswich.
