Leeds United remain top of the Championship after a 1-1 draw with West Brom at The Hawthorns on Wednesday.
Semi Ajayi put the Baggies ahead in only the second minute but was unfortunate in deflecting Patrick Bamford s header into his own net to bring Leeds level.
The result means Marcelo Bielsa s side stay above West Brom on goal difference after 26 matches.
The earlier fixtures were largely a feast of goals as 2020 started in enthralling fashion, with Stoke City winning 5-2 at Huddersfield Town and QPR thrashing Cardiff City 6-1.
Brentford were big winners away to Bristol City, Nottingham Forest edged out Blackburn Rovers in a five-goal thriller and Wigan Athletic held on to win 3-2 at Birmingham City.
Fulham s promotion bid suffered another setback with a 2-1 loss to Reading, Middlesbrough made it back-to-back away victories and Hull City snatched three points at Sheffield Wednesday.
In the first game of the new decade, Millwall came from behind to beat Luton Town 3-1 and climb into the top six.

BAGGIES MISS CHANCE TO GO TOP
Ajayi poked home after a penalty-box scramble to give West Brom an early lead against Leeds and Slaven Bilic s side were good value for their advantage in the first half.
Kiko Casilla did superbly to keep out Matheus Pereira s free-kick and then saved with his legs from Matt Phillips, who had been through on goal.
Leeds introduced Bamford at the break and it proved a crucial move, as the striker s header from Jack Harrison s cross deflected off Ajayi s shoulder and into the net.
Neither side could find a winner in the end-to-end closing minutes, meaning each are on 52 points, nine clear of the chasing pack.
SIX-GOAL SHOWDOWNS
Stoke dominated the first half at John Smith s Stadium but Sam Vokes opener was forgotten when Steve Mounie and a Danny Batth own goal put the hosts ahead.
However, Stoke struck a further four times through Nick Powell, Lee Gregory and a Tyrese Campbell double in a game otherwise marred when a stadium announcement was required to warn against further alleged discriminatory chants aimed at James McClean.
QPR s victory was a more straightforward affair, as a Nahki Wells hat-trick inspired them to a 6-1 thrashing of Cardiff, who got a late consolation through Will Vaulks.
Cardiff stay 12th, though, given Bristol City were dispatched 4-0 at home by Brentford, Ollie Watkins making the points safe with a late double to send his side third.

MILLWALL INTO PLAY-OFF SPOTS
Sheffield Wednesday s loss at home to Hull meant Millwall s earlier 3-1 win over Luton, in which they trailed until the 69th minute, was enough to see them into the top six.
Nottingham Forest are up to fourth thanks to Lewis Grabban s two goals securing a 3-2 defeat of Blackburn Rovers, with Fulham slipping to fifth after John Swift and Charlie Adam consigned them to a fourth defeat in seven league games.
Preston s top-six chase was dealt a blow, though, as Rudy Gestede and a Ben Davies own goal gave Middlesbrough a fourth win in a row.
At the other end of the table, Wigan gave their survival bid a boost after they held onto a 3-2 win at Birmingham, Cedric Kipre s 73rd-minute goal proving the difference.
