• 1-0 win puts Cherries above Norwich on goal difference
• Watford up to third after 1-1 draw with Brentford
  

Bournemouth jumped into top spot in the Championship on Tuesday night after a 68th minute goal from Junior Stanlislas gave them a 1-0 home win against Wycombe Wanderers. The victory put them ahead of Norwich, who play at Reading on Wednesday, on goal difference.

Wycombe, who are firmly in the relegation zone, had Alex Pattison sent off with a straight red for a dangerous challenge on Lewis Cook just four minutes before Stanislas’s goal, which came from close-range after he latched on to a David Brooks cross. Stanislas has now scored six goals in six Championship games.
