Charlton maintained their perfect start to the Championship season with a 2-1 victory at West Ham in a pulsating London derby to pile more pressure on the Hammers manager, Nuno Espírito Santo.
Lloyd Jones and Tyreece Campbell put Charlton 2-0 ahead before Joel Piroe, signed on loan from Leeds, marked his first appearance for the home side with a goal that set up a frantic finish. Taty Castellanos then missed a stoppage-time penalty for West Ham that would have salvaged a point.
West Ham have not won their past 10 derbies, losing nine of them, but Hammers head coach Nuno defended the decision for Castellanos to take the spot-kick instead of Jarrod Bowen.
He said: “We trust Taty to take the penalties. I don’t know [if he will take the next one], we will have to decide. We started badly again. We got punished from a situation where we know Charlton create problems. It became much harder but we still created a lot of situations but were not accurate enough in the boxes. Football is this – to be accurate in the offensive box and we have to defend much better.
“We had a lot of possession and tried to break them, which is not easy. We should have finished better. Of course, I feel under pressure. West Ham is pressure every day – it is a big club. You see that with 62,000 fans in the stands and we let them down. This is the more disappointing feeling. The boys tried until the end. We are going to repeat, repeat and repeat in training, in the final third, to create situations that allow us to score. We will keep the belief and the process.”
Fer López bagged a double as Wolves secured their first victory of the season with a convincing 3-1 success over Preston at Deepdale. The Spaniard put Wanderers ahead with an eighth-minute rocket and substitute Adam Armstrong tucked home a 71st-minute second, just four minutes after stepping on to the pitch.
López put a cherry on top of the cake with a poacher’s finish in the 82nd minute as César Peixoto’s men flexed their muscles, but substitute Jordan Thompson bagged a 25-yard consolation in the first minute of stoppage time to give the home faithful something to cheer.

It was a much-needed victory for the relegated Premier League side but Preston are now without a win in their opening two Championship matches.
Blackburn stunned Middlesbrough with two goals in the space of six second-half minutes to earn a 2-1 victory at Ewood Park which continues their impressive start to the season. After conceding late against Wolves, the early signs pointed to more misery for Rovers as Kim Hellberg’s side smothered them early and were rewarded through Jeremy Sarmiento’s composed 12th-minute finish.
Rovers created enough in that first half to give their fans encouragement and pounced after the break through Andri Gudjohnsen’s 49th-minute header – his second goal in as many games – and Todd Cantwell’s diving header six minutes later to complete the turnaround.
Leicester’s poor start to the League One season continued with a 2-1 defeat by Burton at the King Power Stadium, where Oliver Skipp was sent off (pictured).
Russell Martin’s side – held 1-1 at Notts County in their opening league game following relegation – were behind to an early goal from Matthew Dennis, with Kgaogelo Chauke adding another for the Brewers in the 25th minute. Skipp was then shown a straight red card for a late challenge by the Foxes’ midfielder on Curtis Tilt, before Wes Burns reduced the deficit ahead of the break. Despite Leicester dominating possession in the second half, they could not find an equaliser.
Jack Wilshere was happy his Luton players were disappointed to only claim a point from their 2-2 draw with Notts County at Kenilworth Road. The hosts had led through Nahki Wells’ 42nd-minute penalty but then found themselves 2-1 down with just over an hour gone, Cal Roberts netting before the break and Ollie Cooper also on target.
Callum Marshall came off the bench to earn a point and Wilshere said: “I’m happy they’re disappointed we didn’t take all three points, we want that. However, my message to them was we’re not going to win every single game. We want to and we prepare every game like we want to win, however this league is demanding."
Oxford beat Stevenage 2-1 at the Sporta Arena to secure a first league win under Aaron Ramsey. Huddersfield also continued their unbeaten start with a 1-1 draw at MK Dons, which puts them second.
Victor Adeboyejo’s late goal gave Bromley a 1-1 draw with Cambridge, in what was the Ravens’ first home match in the third tier.
Wigan sit bottom without a point after a 2-0 home defeat by Leyton Orient. Doncaster and Barnsley registered their first points of the season but were still searching for wins after a goalless stalemate. AFCWimbledon and Reading ground out a 0-0 stalemate at Plough Lane in a game of few chances. Wycombe drew 1-1 at home to Plymouth, while Blackpool won 2-1 at Stockport.

Divin Mubama scored a dramatic late goal on his home debut to help Southampton to a 3-1 victory over his former club Stoke. Almost a year ago, the Manchester City loan striker was sent off for Stoke at St Mary’s for diving.
Here, he was the hero as Saints dug deep to preserve an unbeaten home run which stretches back to January. Ryan Manning also scored a stoppage-time penalty after Svante Ingelsson was sent off for bringing down Samuel Edozie.
Cyle Larin bagged his third goal in as many games to give Tonda Eckert’s side an early lead but Stoke hit back through Ethan Galbraith and looked good value for a point until late on.
Wrexham were kept waiting for their first Championship win of the season as they drew 1-1 with Watford in front of Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac.
Both goals at the Racecourse Ground came in the opening quarter with Luca Kjerrumgaard’s header cancelled out by Danny Imray’s first Wrexham goal. It meant another draw for Wrexham after the Red Dragons were denied by a last-gasp Cardiff equaliser on Monday.

Cardiff remain unbeaten two games into their return to the second tier after goals by Cian Ashford and Yousef Salech earned a 2-2 draw at Derby.
The Bluebirds were good value for their point, having twice taken the lead in front of a raucous Pride Park crowd of 28,926. But the Rams, unconvincing for large periods, capitalised on defensive mishaps to earn their first point of the new campaign through Carlton Morris and Bobby Clark.
Taïryk Arconte scored his first two goals for Millwall as they breezed past 10-man Norwich 3-0 to make it two wins from two this season. Having been tipped to challenge for the playoffs, Norwich have lost both of their opening games and had defender José Córdoba sent off in the second half at The Den.

Millwall were rewarded for their lively start in the 18th minute when Mark Sykes’ ball found Josh Coburn, whose shot was pushed out by Vladan Kovacevic for Arconte to tap in the rebound on his home debut. They deservedly went 2-0 ahead after 58 minutes when Zak Sturge’s ball into the box was headed back by Jake Cooper for Arconte to steer a volley into the bottom corner.
Córdoba was sent off for a second yellow card after bundling over Arconte as he charged towards the area.
Victory was sealed with six minutes remaining when a slick counterattack ended with Luke Cundle sliding in Millwall’s third.

Alex Neil, the Millwall manager, said: “I thought it was a complete performance from us, probably the most complete performance we’ve had in the nearly 20 months I’ve been here.”
Portsmouth claimed their first win of the season with a comprehensive 3-1 success at Lincoln. Portsmouth found themselves under the cosh early on but a seventh-minute goal from Ryan Kavuma-McQueen put them in the driving seat.
Adrian Segecic doubled the lead nine minutes later before Reeco Hackett-Fairchild pulled one back from the spot just past the half-hour mark. Substitute Ebrima Adams made the game safe with a superb strike after 69 minutes to leave Lincoln still searching for their first win back in the second tier for more than 60 years.
Demarai Gray rescued a point for Birmingham with a late penalty in a 2-2 draw at home to Bristol City. Scott Twine’s 33rd-minute effort gave the visitors the advantage before they conceded a 42nd-minute equaliser to Carlos Vicente. Dom Ballard converted Rio Cardines’ cross with a superb flick with his back to goal after 85 minutes to restore Bristol City’s lead but they could not hold on.
Barnet maintained their 100% with a 3-1 win at Shrewsbury, who are bottom after two defeats. Crewe also have six points after Josh March’s second-half goal secured a 1-0 victory over Northampton.
Danny Cowley admitted Oldham’s red card changed the game after his Colchester side secured a last-gasp 2-1 win. Lewis Temple’s own goal in stoppage time handed United victory but Gus Scott-Morriss’s dismissal in the first half ultimately proved costly for Latics.
Cowley said: “It’s always the best way to win [in stoppage time]. I’m not sure it’s good for the blood pressure but it was a great performance. I genuinely thought at XI v XI that we were the better team. Oldham are a really good team, but I really liked the way that we played. The sending-off naturally changed the game, so we made tactical tweaks. We were super young at the end, but we had enough energy and enthusiasm.”
On the sending-off, Cowley added: “I’ll have to have another look. It looked high, and I did think that the ball was high as well.”
Early goals earned Exeter a 2-0 win against Accrington Stanley. After a Devon derby defeat by Plymouth in the Carabao Cup and losing 1-0 at Grimsby last week, there was a bit of anxiety around St James Park, but captain Fitzwater settled any nerves inside two minutes with a terrific bicycle kick finish.
Ten minutes later, it was 2-0 as a Gwion Edwards shot took a wicked deflection of Accrington skipper Seamus Conneely before ending up in the net.
Rochdale’s first home game since promotion back to the EFL ended in a 2-1 defeat by Crawley, which was a second straight loss. York, though, are still unbeaten after coming from behind to draw 1-1 at Rotherham.
PortVale continued their winless start to the season with an entertaining 1-1 home draw with Tranmere. The centre-back Bobby Faulkner was forced to fill in as an emergency goalkeeper for Tranmere after Harrison Male was injured, before Tom Ince’s strike cancelled out George Byers’ first-half penalty to extend Rovers’ unbeaten start under Darrell Clarke.
Bobby Kamwa scored against his former club as Bristol Rovers beat Newport 5-3 at the Memorial Stadium – where they had fallen behind after just 15 seconds.
Swindon saw off their West Country rivals Cheltenham 2-1 at the County Ground, while Salford lost 1-0 at home to Chesterfield and are also still pointless. Fleetwood were held 0-0 at home by Gillingham,with Walsall v Grimsby also finishing goalless. PA Media
QPR’s Richard Kone missed several chances in a goalless draw with Bolton at Loftus Road. Kone, left out for last weekend’s win at Portsmouth, was restored to the Rangers side but missed four clear-cut opportunities during a first half largely dominated by the hosts.
Callum O’Hare came closest to netting a winner but Sheffield United had to be content with a goalless draw at Swansea City.
West Brom have said they are “devastated” after the death of former midfielder Quevin Castro, aged 25.
Castro, who made two senior appearances for the Baggies during a two-year spell at the Hawthorns, collapsed during a friendly between his current club, third-tier Portuguese side Real Sport Clube, and Estrela da Amadora on Saturday and later died in hospital.
West Brom said: “West Brom are devastated to learn of the untimely passing of Quevin Castro, aged just 25. Albion will pay tribute to Quevin on Sunday, with a period of applause in the 25th minute of the fixture against Burnley. James Morrison’s men will also wear black armbands.”
