Birmingham City sacked Harry Redknapp on Saturday evening following their dismal start to the season, with the former Tottenham Hotspur manager's tenure at St Andrew's ended following a 3-1 loss to Preston North End.

Alex Neil's fourth-placed Preston continued their impressive start to the season, coming from behind after Maxime Collin's opener for City put them on course for victory - but Daniel Johnson, Jordan Hugill and Tom Barkhuizen's goals ensured that Birmingham went home empty handed, and Redknapp with the sack.

Elsewhere, Millwall striker Aiden O'Brien's solo strike ended Leeds United's unbeaten run at the New Den on Saturday.

O'Brien's 73rd minute effort, tucking home a loose ball in the penalty area, ensured that the last remaining unbeaten record in the Championship was ended - along with a run of six straight clean sheets for Leeds.
