Championship results 13 December, 2016: Brighton move top with win over Blackburn, Leeds beat promotion rivals Reading

talkSPORT's round up of Tuesday's Championship action...

Brighton moved to the top of the Championship table after winning 3-2 at Blackburn.

Shane Duffy's 17th-minute header set the Seagulls on their way to extending their unbeaten run to 15 league matches and Dale Stephens struck on the hour mark to double the lead.

Sam Gallagher reduced Rovers' deficit midway through the second half, but any hopes of a fightback looked to be dashed with Gordon Greer's red card after 74 minutes before Glenn Murray restored Brighton's two-goal cushion shortly afterwards.

Gallagher got another goal back in injury time, but Chris Hughton's team held on to leapfrog Newcastle to assume poll position.
