(Reuters) - Leeds United beat Birmingham City 2-0 in front of a crowd of 30,000 to take over at the top of England's Championship (second tier) from Cardiff City who suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 3-0 at Preston North End on Tuesday. At Deepdale, Preston's Josh Harrop scored his first goal since his summer move from Manchester United, with Sean Maguire and Alan Browne inflicting further damage on Cardiff, who now trail Leeds by a point. Millwall's Lee Gregory was also dismissed but his side held on for a creditable draw at Queens Park Rangers. Millwall move one point clear of Sunderland, whose terrible start to the season continued with a fourth successive defeat, 1-0 at home to Nottingham Forest. Burton held Norwich City to a goalless draw at Carrow Road for their first away point of the season.
