Brighton and Hove Albion levelled the point with Newcastle United at the top (separated only by the goal difference) after winning 3-0 against Derby County.
It was a strong performance from Chis Hughton’s side who dominated the game from start to finish. The defeat, however, proved costly for Derby, who lost seven of their last 13 Championship games.
Derby’s shocking run of form since the turn of the year led to a major set up change at the club, with manager Steve McClaren being relieved of his duty.
Fulham stunned everyone with a fantastic 3-1 win against Newcastle United at St James’ Park.
