From early favourites dropping points to winning debuts, we wrap up some of the main stories from the first round of second-tier fixtures, which were completed on Monday night following Derby’s 2-1 win over Huddersfield at The John Smith's Stadium. Scroll down and flick through our picture gallery to catch up with all the action:
1. Cardiff stunned by Wigan
Neil Warnock's Cardiff are also expected to challenge for promotion this campaign but lost from a winning position at Wigan. The Bluebirds took an early lead through midfielder Joe Ralls before Josh Windass and Michael Jacobs put the Latics 2-1 up. Omar Bogle then equalised for Cardiff before Lee Evans netted the winner. Another action-packed game. Photo: Catherine Ivill
2. Pedersen header steels the points for Birmingham
Birmingham defender Kristian Pedersen scored one of the goals of the weekend with a powerful header from outside the penalty area. It was enough to seal all three points for the Blues at Brentford, despite the Bees registering 76 per cent of possession and taking 15 shots to Birmingham's one. Photo: Marc Atkins
3. Sheffield Wednesday respond after manager departure
Despite losing manager Steve Bruce to Newcastle earlier this summer, Sheffield Wednesday made a winning start under caretaker boss Lee Bullen. The Owls claimed a 3-1 win at Reading but saw goalkeeper Keiren Westwood receive a red card late on. Photo: Pete Norton
4. A debut goal for Jordan Hugill
The 27-year-old striker, who was on loan at Boro last season, has hit the ground running for new club QPR. Hugill scored after just eight minutes as Rangers won away at Stoke in Mark Warburton's first game in charge. Photo: Nathan Stirk
