Cardiff City defeated Burnley 5-4 in a topsy-turvy affair, Birmingham City edged past Swansea City and Wrexham drew with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Struggling Preston North End threatened to turn a corner as they edged past Southampton, while Queens Park Rangers clinched a 2-1 win over Lincoln City and West Bromwich Albion swept Millwall aside at The Hawthorns.
