Championship round-up: Huddersfield Town remain top as Aston Villa slip up

Huddersfield maintained their place at the top of the Championship thanks to a hard fought 2-1 win over Rotheram United.

Elias Kachunga opened the scoring for the hosts before Danny Ward equalised for Alan Stubbs’side 10 minutes before the half time interval.

But Huddersfield claimed all three points thanks to Nakhi Wells to continue their encouraging start to the season.

Sam Winnall scored a dramatic late equaliser to earn Barnsley a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at Oakwell.

Villa's Jordan Ayew opened the scoring with his first goal of the campaign in the 61st minute before Winnall, a second-half substitute, headed home in the 89th minute.
