Dons and the Bees inflict heavy defeats on opponents
MK Dons beat
Chesterfield 6-2 to go top of League One, while
Brentford thrashed
Leyton Orient 5-0.
Karl Robinson would no doubt have been impressed with his side as they showed their class against
Chesterfield, while the Bees provided a real sting to leave
Leyton Orient reeling.
Charlton and
Sheffield United both lost their 100 per cent records as they could only muster draws on their latest outings.
Sam Baldock notched an impressive hat-trick as
MK Dons ran riot against
Chesterfield in a 6-2 victory. Scott Bolden notched twice for the visitors but those goals could not stem the flow of the Dons attack.
Uwe Rosler would have been thrilled as his
Brentford side thumped
Leyton Orient 5-0 to leave the visitors still looking for their first points of the season. Sam Saunders notched a brace while Niall McGinn, Leon Legge and Marcus Bean plundered the other goals.
Brace
A brace from Jordan Rhodes gave
Huddersfield a 3-2 win and kept
Colchester searching for their first win of the term. Kayode Odejayi and Michail Antonio netted for the visitors but Lee Novak popped up with the winner for Town.
Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his third goal in a week, but it was not enough to continue
Charlton's winning sequence. Goals in either half from Johnnie Jackson and Wright-Phillips put them in control, before a Bobby Grant double earned
Scunthorpe a point.
Joss Labadie's goal 10 minutes from time put an end to
Sheffield United's 100 per cent record in League One following a 1-1 draw at
Tranmere.
Nick Montgomery gave the Blades the lead just before the interval, but they were unable to hold on.
Carlisle ensured that
Bournemouth's long trip was less than fruitful as they claimed a 2-1 win. Tom Taiwo put the home side ahead shortly after the interval before Harry Arter levelled from the penalty spot. However, their chances of earning a point were dashed as Nathan Byrne put the ball in his own goal.
Oldham made it two wins in two outings with a 2-0 victory over
Rochdale to leave their local rivals still searching for a win. Reuben Reid put the Latics ahead from the penalty spot and Nathan Clarke added the second in first-half injury-time.
Championship
Preston continued their bid for an immediate return to the Championship with their second win in a week. Jamie Proctor scored the game's solitary goal, while Steve Tully was dismissed for
Exeter after 23 minutes.
Sheffield Wednesday bared their teeth after two defeats to claim a 2-1 win over
Notts County. Jeff Hughes put County ahead from the spot but Wednesday came back with goals from Julian Bennett and Gary Madine.
Hartlepool thought they had claimed their first win of the season but their 2-2 draw against
Stevenage means they have drawn all four of their games this term. Peter Hartley's goal and an Adam Boyd's penalty put them ahead but Byron Harrison and Scott Laird struck to earn them a point.
Walsall and
Yeovil earned a point in a 1-1 draw after both were defeated in midweek. Jonathan Macken put the Saddlers ahead but Gavin Williams struck two minutes before the interval to level the scores.
Bury made it two wins on the spin with a 2-0 victory over fellow newly-promoted side
Wycombe. Goals from Mike Jones and Ryan Lowe in either half showed they are acclimatising to this level nicely.
