Championship round up: Chris Mepham magic salvages draw for Bournemouth, as Reading continue unbeaten reign and late drama at Carrow Road seals Norwich win

Chris Mepham's last-gasp goal ensured Bournemouth maintained their unbeaten Championship record at fellow high-flyers Watford.

Stipe Perica’s first goal in English football looked set to earn the hosts a third consecutive win thanks to a resilient defensive display, but they still move up to second and two points from top.

Both teams have made encouraging starts to life back in the second tier and appear to have allayed fears of a relegation hangover, sitting in third and fourth respectively before this game.
