The substitute Sontje Hansen scored a stoppage-time equaliser three minutes after coming on to earn Middlesbrough, the leaders, a 2-2 draw at Preston. The 23-year-old came off the bench after Jordan Storey looked to have won it for Preston and provided the telling touch from close range after the hosts failed to clear their lines from a corner.
Lewis Dobbin put the visitors ahead with a sublime solo effort early on before the visitors got a deserved 72nd-minute leveller through Matt Targett. Storey put Preston back in front with an 88th-minute glancing header before the final twist in the tale.
The point proved enough to keep Middlesbrough top, as West Brom missed the chance to close the gap on the leaders after losing 1-0 at home to Derby, with Andreas Weimann firing a late winner. It condemned Ryan Mason’s side to a first league loss of the campaign, having taken 10 points from their first four matches.
In the 84th minute individual brilliance from Weimann broke the deadlock, the former Albion man delaying his strike before slotting past Josh Griffiths into the bottom corner. Jayson Molumby unleashed a powerful half-volley in the hope of getting the hosts level which crashed off the bar and no Albion player was able to secure the rebound.
Stoke climbed up to second as Bosun Lawal’s first goal for the club clinched a 1-0 home win against Birmingham, who slipped to back-to-back league defeats for the first time under Chris Davies.
Bristol City rose up to third after they maintained their unbeaten league start with a 3-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday, thanks to an own goal from Harry Amass and efforts from Emil Riis and Anis Mehmeti, all in the first half.

Will Lankshear fired Oxford into an early lead, which was soon cancelled out by Jordan Ayew. Ramsey forced a good save out of Jamie Cumming with an angled 25-yard drive midway through the half, but less than a minute later was shown a red card by Ben Toner for scything down Matt Phillips near the touchline.
An own goal from Boubakary Soumaré at a corner then gave Oxford a 2-1 lead at the break, only for Pereira, who came on at half-time, to fire home an equaliser 10 minutes after the restart. This was the first meeting between the teams since another 2-2 draw in April 1994.
The Hull defender John Egan’s stoppage-time equaliser rescued his side a point in a 2-2 draw at Swansea and the Coventry forward Haji Wright’s effort deep in added time salvaged a 1-1 home draw against Norwich.

The Millwall substitute Ra’ees Bangura-Williams’s late equaliser clinched a 1-1 draw at 10-man Charlton, who led through Sonny Carey and had Kayne Ramsay sent off in the second half. Carey opened his account for the hosts after Steven Benda could only fist Conor Coventry’s corner to the edge of the penalty area, with a first-time strike fizzing through a crowded penalty area and into the bottom of the net.
Charlton were reduced to 10 men after Ramsay picked up his second yellow card from Robert Madley – both for fouls on the dangerous Aidomo Emakhu, easily the best performer for Millwall on a below-par day. Bangura-Williams was the quickest to react after Thomas Kaminski was only able to push Luke Cundle’s shot back out into danger, lashing in the loose ball.
Nathan Jones, the Charlton manager, described Ramsay’s dismissal as “a moment of madness” and felt it cost the club a first victory over Millwall in more than 29 years. “When you are on a booking and you lunge in then you know you are risking something. You have to be cleverer than that. Top defenders stay on their feet and make people work for something – when they go to ground it is a last resort or they know they can win it.
“It is a learning curve for him. He’s a young boy and he has so much ability, he has been outstanding for us. That was categorically the turning point.”
