QPR end Burnley run

QPR turned the Coca-Cola Championship form guide on its head to haul themselves off the foot of the table with a 2-0 win at Burnley.

Rangers went into the game on a seven-match winless run, while their opponents were unbeaten in six and had yet to taste defeat under new manager Owen Coyle, but after going into half-time 0-0, the visitors went ahead shortly before the hour mark when Damion Stewart headed in Scott Sinclair's corner.

Rowan Vine sealed what was only manager Luigi Di Canio's second win in charge in the 90th minute after Burnley had thrown everyone up field.

Ipswich's three top scorers all found the net as Town beat 10-man Leicester 3-1 at Portman Road.

Pablo Counago, Alan Lee and Jonathan Walters all increased their tallies to nine as the Tractor Boys maintained their unbeaten home league record for the season.

Counago and Iain Hume exchanged goals before Patrick Kisnorbo felled the Spaniard to concede a penalty and was given his marching orders before Lee converted for the hosts and Walters sealed the win in the second half.

Steve Thompson's goal glut continued as Cardiff's three-month wait for a Championship away win came to an end at Blackpool.

Thompson found the net for the third time in his last four outings early in the first half to help the Bluebirds record a first victory at Bloomfield Road since 1968 and pull further away from the relegation places.

City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel enhanced his burgeoning reputation with an outstanding display to further frustrate Simon Grayson's side, who can count themselves unfortunate not to get something out of the game.
