The striker produced three clinical finishes – although Swansea claimed Mitrovic benefited from a generous offside decision for the opening goal – as Marco Silva’s side clinched their second win in five league games. Jamie Paterson replied for the visitors after Mitrovic had put the home side two up, but Swansea were unable to work their way back into the game and suffered a first defeat in five league games.
West Brom moved to the top of the Championship table with a dominant win over slumping
Cardiff. Mick McCarthy’s side were thumped 5-1 by Blackburn at the weekend and this was another miserable night as a 4-0 loss made it four successive defeats.
Scott Parker felt his
Bournemouth side did not turn up for 45 minutes after drawing 0-0 at
Peterborough. Cherries striker Dominic Solanke missed two late chances to win it for the visitors, but the club’s top scorer shot and headed over – the latter a good chance from a 90th-minute corner – as Peterborough held on for a precious point.
Luton ended a six-game winless run in convincing fashion with a thumping 5-0 victory over high-flying
Coventry at Kenilworth Road. Striker Elijah Adebayo and Harry Cornick both scored twice as Luton climbed to ninth in the table on goal difference.

Ilias Chair scored both goals as
QPR returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory at home to
Birmingham. Mark Warburton's side rode their luck at times during an even first half but got the result they needed after three consecutive Championship defeats.
Duncan Watmore and Paddy McNair fired
Middlesbrough to a confidence-boosting 2-0 victory at the Riverside Stadium as Blades great Neil Warnock put the brakes on
Sheffield United's charge up the Sky Bet Championship table and ending Slavisa Jokanovic's team's run of seven games unbeaten in all competitions. It was the third win of the season for Warnock's men.
New
Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper highlighted his side’s improved second-half display as they came from behind to win 3-1 at
Barnsley. The hosts led through Cauley Woodrow’s first-half penalty before goals from Philip Zinckernagel, Brennan Johnson and Lewis Grabban sealed it for Forest.
Substitute Jed Wallace scored the winner from the penalty spot as
Millwall picked up just their second victory of the season with a 1-0 win over
Bristol City, who had assistant Curtis Fleming in charge, in the absence of Covid-stricken manager Nigel Pearson.
