Tyler Roberts scored the only goal of the game as Leeds moved back to the top of the Sky Bet Championship with a 1-0 win at Hull.
Marcelo Bielsa's men dominated the first half without finding the opening goal, but that arrived six minutes into the second when Roberts fizzed a low shot from 25 yards into the bottom corner for his third goal in five league matches.
Two goals in four first-half minutes earned Middlesbrough victory at Ipswich and saw them move up to second.
Mo Besic curled in the opener at the second attempt in the 12th minute and Stewart Downing doubled their lead shortly afterwards, finishing a driving run with a thumping strike.
The game of the night came at Villa Park as 10-man Aston Villa snatched a late equaliser and then missed a stoppage-time penalty in a 3-3 draw with struggling Preston.
Brentford were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Birmingham at Griffin Park. Stoke eased to a third win of the season with a 2-0 success at home to Bolton. Defender Bruno Martins Indi was left unmarked at a corner to nod in the opening goal after 10 minutes.
Toni Leistner's scrambled effort snatched QPR a 1-0 win at Reading, while Wigan and Swansea played out a goalless draw at the DW Stadium.
