Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday draw, Rowett begins with winSol Campbell loses Southend bow, Shrewsbury sink SunderlandPreston moved up to second after coming back from two goals down against Blackburn in a Lancashire derby. Things could not have started worse for the hosts when they went 1-0 down within 30 seconds when Sam Gallagher’s rebounded off the post and went in via goalkeeper Declan Rudd’s back.

The game was settled in fitting style when Barkhuizen found the top corner from 25 yards.
