Sheffield Wednesday headed into their game against Birmingham City on a dreadful run of conceding late goals, and while a 1-1 draw wasn't ideal, Harris' composure to score in the final ten minutes is at least one positive step forward (Photo by George Wood/Getty Images) Photo: George Wood
6. W: Jarrod Bowen
Hull City are surely resigned to losing their talismanic forward in the near future, as he put in another stellar performance for the Tigers on Wednesday, scoring twice and making an assist in a 4-0 win over Preston.. (Photo by Ashley Allen/Getty Images) Photo: Ashley Allen
7. L: Reading?
Noel Whelan was pulling no punches with his assessment of Reading's performance against Leeds, branding their style of football as "depressing". Mind you, before Tuesday night they had won their last three on the trot at home! (Photo by Alex Burstow/Getty Images) Photo: Alex Burstow
8. L: Trevoh Chalobah
A moment of naivety from the Huddersfield Town man, on loan from Chelsea, saw him sent off for a needless headbutt on Swansea's Joe Byers. Luckily for him, his side held on to a 1-1 draw. (Photo by Harriet Lander/Getty Images) Photo: Harriet Lander
