Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's Burton Albion maintained their 100% record with a 2–1 win at home to Ipswich Town.

Sheffield Wednesday recorded their first win back in League One with a 2–0 win at home to Doncaster Rovers in a South Yorkshire derby at Hillsborough Stadium.

Sunderland also kept their 100% record with a 1–2 win away at Milton Keynes Dons at Stadium mk.

A 95th minute winner from Will Keane won all three points for Wigan Athletic in a 1–0 win at home to Rotherham United.
