Goals from David Meyler and Robbie Brady earned Hull City a 2-1 win at Watford, who scored a late consolation through Troy Deeney. Sam Baldock scored a penalty in each half as Bristol City twice came from behind at Sheffield Wednesday before Albert Adomah netted an 88th minute winner in a 3-2 triumph at Hillsborough. DJ Campbell scored a goal in each half as the on-loan Queens Park Rangers striker inspired Ipswich to a 3-0 home win over Millwall. On-loan striker James Vaughan notched an 87th minute equaliser as Huddersfield claimed a 2-2 draw at home with Bolton Wanderers. Charlton were denied a celebratory victory to mark 20 years back at The Valley as Brighton & Hove Albion twice came from behind to force a 2-2 draw. Derby enjoyed an eighth successive victory over Leeds after second-half goals from Jake Buxton and substitute Ben Davies secured a 3-1 win at Pride Park. Strike duo Dexter Blackstock and Billy Sharp scored second-half goals as Nottingham Forest enjoyed a 2-0 win over Burnley at the City Ground.
