Championship round-up: Newcastle lose again but Aston Villa claim first win of the season

Newcastle 1-2 Huddersfield

A late Jack Payne winner for Huddersfield means Rafa Benitez must wait for his first Championship win as Newcastle boss. Nahki Wells scored on the brink of half time to hand the visitors the lead, but they were pegged back in the second half when Dwight Gayle converted the follow up to his saved penalty. However, disaster struck eight minutes from time when Payne sent the ball past Matz Sels to win the tie.

Roberto Di Matteo secured his first win as Aston Villa boss as a Rudy Gestede double secured victory against Rotherham at Villa Park.
