Brentford got their Championship promotion push back on track with a commanding 3-0 win at Luton Town.
After two games without victory, the Bees were always in control with Rico Henry opening the scoring after 20 minutes.
Ivan Toney made it 2-0 at half-time before Marcus Forss made sure of the three points 14 minutes from time.
There was also a first win in eight matches for QPR, getting the better of Cardiff City in a five goal thriller at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.
First-half goals from Ilias Chair and Todd Kane put the Hoops 2-0 up before Joe Ralls’ penalty soon after the interval brought Cardiff back into the game.
After Cardiff were awarded a second penalty, Ralls followed up to score from the rebound after his spot-kick was saved by goalkeeper Seny Dieng.
That looked like preserving Cardiff’s unbeaten away league record this season before Dominic Ball’s 25-yard strike made it 3-2 and gave QPR all three points.
Meanwhile Millwall dropped out of the top six after losing 3-0 at home to Huddersfield Town.
Goals from Josh Koroma, Pipa and Lewis O’Brien sunk a Lions side whose entire first-team coaching staff are self-isolating following positive coronavirus tests for manager Gary Rowett and two other staff members.
In League One, goals from Jonny Williams and Chuks Aneke secured Charlton Athletic a fifth consecutive win with a 2-0 victory at promotion rivals Portsmouth.
Despite playing the last 15 minutes without a recognised centre-back, Lee Bowyer’s side restricted the home team to a smattering of chances to also claim a sixth straight clean sheet.

Crellin made amends by saving Johnson’s spot-kick, but the Orient striker got his revenge seven minutes later when he scored from close range.
The hosts doubled their advantage when Jobi McAnuff sent his 41st-minute free-kick into the top corner before Conor Wilkinson scored a third just before the break.
And Craig Clay made it 4-0 in the 57th minute when he picked out the top corner to round off a perfect afternoon for the O’s.
