Championship round-up: Newcastle finally win and Shane Duffy has a night to forget

Newcastle picked up their first Championship win of the season with a 4-1 victory at home to Reading.

After losing their two initial games to Fulham and Huddersfield Town, Isaac Hayden gave the Magpies the lead before Gareth McCleary equalised from the penalty spot.

Summer signing Matt Ritchie restored the lead with a penalty of his own and fellow new arrival Dwight Gayle grabbed the third and fourth, the first of which a great free kick that nestled into the top corner.

At the Cardiff City Stadium Shane Duffy had a night to forget after he scored two own goals and got sent off as Blackburn lost 2-1 to the Bluebirds.
