CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND-UP: Fulham breeze past Birmingham City 4-1, Stoke miss out on the chance to top the table and Luton Town rescue a point through a last-gasp Danny Hylton goal

Marco Silva continued his blistering start in the Championship with Fulham as they breezed past Birmingham City 4-1 to sit top of the table.

The west London club have won five of their seven league matches this season under boss Silva, following relegation from the Premier League.

That winning form continued last night in a comfortable victory away from home. Denis Odoi’s opener in the 10th minute deflated the Blues, before Aleksandar Mitrovic added a second on the stroke of half-time.
