English Championship Round Up: Watford Return To Winning Ways, Mikel's Stoke beaten At Home
By Omolagba Oluwayemi
Watford climbed to third on the English Championship log as two early goals were enough for them to see off out-of-form Rotherham United, BSNsports.com.ng reports.
Christian Kabasele gave the Hornets the lead after just four minutes when he poked home from close range as Troy Deeney helped a Ken Sema corner goalwards.
That lead was doubled inside 15 minutes as Deeney pounced on a mistake by Millers centre-back Wes Harding to tap in at the back post.
Rotherham went close in the second half to reducing the deficit as Ben Foster made a terrific save from Kyle Vassell but the visitors eventually slumped to a third consecutive defeat.
Cardiff City captain Sean Morrison had a remarkable evening of lows and highs as his side came from behind to win away against Stoke City.
Morrison scored an own goal to hand the hosts a first-half lead, turning a Tyrese Campbell cross into his own net from close range.
The Bluebirds centre-back then conceded a penalty after the break, but Stoke substitute Sam Vokes' effort was saved by Alex Smithies.
Robert Glatzel then came off the bench to equalise for Cardiff before Morrison sealed his redemption by heading in the winning goal from a corner.
A fourth successive win lifts Cardiff up to ninth in the Championship table, two points behind Stoke who drop to sixth.
It ended goalless at the Liberty Stadium between Swansea City and AFC Bournemouth. The later climbing to the summit of the league and the former in 4th.
J. D. Boedvarsson (70) saved Millwall from their second consecutive home loss having fallen behind to QPR through Ilias Chair (53).
It was a share of spoil at the St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium between Coventry City and Luton Town.
First half goals by Josh Koroma (11), and Isaac Mbenza (24) was all Huddersfield Town needed for the 3 points against Toni Pulis' Sheffield Wednesday.
