ENGLISH CHAMPIONSH­IP

-

Cauley Woodrow rescued Barnsley a point at Oakwell with a penalty in the 12th minute of stoppage time as a 2-2 draw ended Bristol City’s perfect start.

Goals from Jack Hunt and Tyreeq Bakinson in the first six minutes of the second half turned the game around for City after Barnsley took the lead in the second minute of the game through Michal Helik.

But in the fifth minute of added time, Michael Sollbauer was fouled and had to receive lengthy treatment before Woodrow was able to take the spot-kick.

Despite the late blow, Bristol City remain top of the embryonic table from Reading, who were held to a goalless draw at Middlesbro­ugh.

Chris Hughton marked his first game in charge of Nottingham Forest with a late 1-0 win at Blackburn.

Hughton, who replaced Sabri Lamouchi after Forest’s four-game losing start to the season, will have been extremely encouraged by the performanc­e of his new charges at Ewood Park.

The visitors looked solid and took hold of proceeding­s as the game wore on, with Thomas Kaminski saving well from Lyle Taylor and Sammy Ameobi, who also struck a post.

They were eventually rewarded in the 90th minute through Joe Lolley’s deflected strike, which ended a run of six straight league defeats.

Wycombe were finally able to celebrate their first goal in the second tier of English football but are still looking for a first point after Millwall came from behind to record a 2-1 victory at Adams Park.

The Chairboys gave themselves hope of getting off the mark through Scott Kashket’s bizarre opener after Bartosz Bialkowski miscontrol­led in his own six-yard box. But a Jed Wallace penalty and a fine Ryan Leonard strike gave the visitors the win.

Ivan Toney’s brace eased Brentford to a 2-0 win over Coventry, Barry Bannan’s 49th-minute penalty gave Sheffield Wednesday a 1-0 victory at Birmingham and Bournemout­h were held to a 0-0 draw by QPR.
