Championship round-up: Wolves held at Preston, Villa lose at Fulham, Cardiff beat Boro

talkSPORT brings you a round-up of Saturday's Championship action...

Sky Bet Championship leaders Wolves missed out on the chance to extend their advantage at the top of the table as they were held to a 1-1 draw by ten-man Preston.

Helder Costa grabbed a second-half equaliser for Wolves almost immediately after John Welsh was dismissed for a second yellow card, Alan Browne having put the hosts ahead just after the break.

A draw ended Wolves' run of three successive victories as their lead at the top was trimmed to 11 points, while the in-form Lilywhites remained just outside of the play-off spots.
