Sheffield Wednesday thumped Burnley 4-1 but Derby went down 1-0 at home to Doncaster and QPR beat Barnsley 2-1 at home as the Championship got off to a goal-laden start…
After the opening game of the Championship season needed an injury-time goal by Birmingham’s Kevin Phillips to rescue it from goalless obscurity, the ten three o’clock kick-offs started with a blizzard of goals - seven in six minutes as the campaign roared into life.
In fact there were goals in all but one of the ten afternoon games, with the shock of the day coming at Pride Park, heavily-backed Derby County going down to newly-promoted Doncaster Rovers 1-0. Sheffield Wednesday roared to the top with a resounding 4-1 win over Burnley, while promotion favourites QPR beat Barnsley 2-1 despite being a goal down.
Wolves came from behind twice to draw 2-2 at Plymouth, while FA Cup finalists Cardiff beat Southampton 2-1 somewhat controversially at Ninian Park.
