Sunderland Leads Championship as Burnley Settles for Draw

Sunderland extended their lead at the top of the Championship with a 2-1 victory over Luton Town, moving three points clear. Burnley remains in second place despite a 1-1 draw against Hull City.

Luton, adjusting to life back in the second tier after last season's Premier League campaign, were defeated by a remarkable strike from Romaine Mundle in the 66th minute. The match saw all three goals scored within an 11-minute span, with Elijah Adebayo equalizing for Luton after Chris Rigg's early second-half goal.

In Hull, Burnley salvaged a point thanks to Zian Flemming's late equalizer, allowing them to surpass Leeds United on goal difference. Hull's Xavier Simons had initially given his team the lead with a deflected shot just before halftime, marking the first time Burnley conceded a goal in 453 minutes.

Sheffield United find themselves six points off the top following a 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough, where Emmanuel Latte Lath's header in the 80th minute secured Boro's first win in three matches.

West Bromwich Albion climbed into fourth place on goals scored after playing to a 0-0 draw against Blackburn Rovers.

Plymouth Argyle, managed by Wayne Rooney, remains winless on the road this season after suffering a 1-0 loss at Millwall. Romain Esse, a 19-year-old winger for the Lions, scored the only goal of the match in the first half, further extending the away woes for the former England captain.
