Sunderland secured a 2-1 victory against Luton, moving three points clear at the top of the Championship. Burnley, despite being held to a 1-1 draw at Hull, remains in second place, edging above Leeds on goal difference.
Luton, struggling to adapt after last season's Premier League campaign, were struck by Romaine Mundle's impressive goal in the 66th minute. The match saw all three goals scored within an 11-minute span, with Chris Rigg giving Sunderland an early second-half lead, followed by Elijah Adebayo's equalizer for Luton.
At Hull, Burnley required a late equalizer from Zian Flemming to secure a point. Hull initially took the lead with a deflected strike from Xavier Simons just before halftime, marking the first goal Burnley had conceded in 453 minutes.
Sheffield United now find themselves six points off the top after a 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough, where Emmanuel Latte Lath scored the decisive goal in the 80th minute, granting Boro their first win in three matches.
West Brom climbed to fourth place on goals scored following a 0-0 draw against Blackburn. Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney's Plymouth continues to struggle, remaining winless on the road this season after a 1-0 loss at Millwall, with 19-year-old Romain Esse netting the only goal in the first half.
