Coventry's perfect record in the Coca-Cola Championship was obliterated by Bristol City as the visitors won 3-0 at the Ricoh Arena.

Former Sky Blues striker Dele Adebola gave the Robins the lead inside 18 minutes.

Adebola then set up Michael McIndoe for the second after 54 minutes, with Steve Brooker adding a third in added time.

Birmingham took an outright lead in the Championship with a 2-0 win at home to Barnsley.

Kevin Phillips, starting his first match, made it three goals in as many games and preserved his side's 100 per cent record with a straightforward header 13 minutes in from Stuart Parnaby's excellent cross.

Strike partner Garry O'Connor doubled the lead with a header of his own on the stroke of half-time and the Blues cruised through the second half to record the victory.

Preston - the only other team with two wins from two heading into today's matches - had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday, Richard Chaplow equalising in the second half.

The Owls had gone ahead through Sean McAllister's fierce 20th-minute drive.

Under-pressure Derby boss Paul Jewell is still awaiting his first win after his side lost 1-0 at home to lowly Southampton today.

In-form striker David McGoldrick scored shortly before the hour mark to secure the win at Pride Park and collect Saints' first points of the season.

Charlton recovered from letting a two-goal lead slip to comfortably sweep past Reading 4-2 in an enthralling clash at The Valley.

Goals from Matt Holland and Andy Gray put Charlton in control, but Ibrahima Sonko gave Reading a lifeline just before the break.
