Championship round-up: Sean Maguire and Alan Browne strike as Preston thump Cardiff

Cardiff were knocked off the top of the Sky Bet Championship table after they were beaten 3-0 by Preston at Deepdale to end their unbeaten start.

A first-half free-kick from Josh Harrop was added to by second-half goals from former Cork City duo Sean Maguire and a wonder strike from Alan Browne.

Preston started well and top scorer Jordan Hugill forced a fine save from Neil Etheridge when he drove a left-footed shot across the keeper on 11 minutes.
