Evan Ferguson netted his first goal for Roma as they defeated Cremonese 3-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Ferguson, who missed the Republic of Ireland's heroic victories over Portugal and Hungary, came on in the 60th minute and finished smartly close to goal just four minutes later. He also scored again late on but it was correctly ruled out for offside.

Troy Parrott continued his stunning scoring spree as he pulled one back for AZ Alkmaar in the 75th minute of their 3-1 loss away to SC Heerenveen.

Parrott has now scored 19 goals in 19 games this season and next up for AZ is a home match against Shelbourne in the Conference League on Thursday.

Also on Sunday, two goals from Tyrese Campbell and one from substitute Tom Cannon gave Sheffield United a 3-0 derby victory over their arch-rivals Sheffield Wednesday in a match they dominated.

Campbell struck in either half with Cannon adding a third in time added on, giving United, who were missing the injured Chiedozie Ogbene, only their fourth win of the season.

Cannon rounded off the scoring with a well-taken goal in time added on, firing a shot into the bottom left-hand corner of the net. It was only Cannon's second goal in 30 appearances for the Blades.

Elsewhere Cardiff boss Brian Barry-Murphy was pleased his team showed a ‘different side’ to their game after they moved top of League One with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Northampton.

The Cork native said: “It’s really pleasing and I’m delighted for our supporters because they’ve travelled a lot over the last few weeks and they can enjoy a magnificent victory.

“We had to show we had the mentality and ability to come to a place like this and play against a very effective Northampton team and get a result and the lads showed a commendable attitude."

Meanwhile on Saturday, Southampton continued their excellent form under interim manager Tonda Eckert in the Championship as they thrashed Charlton 5-1 at The Valley, with Finn Azaz scoring twice while Ryan Manning also netted.

Azaz collected a first-half brace with Manning, Adam Armstrong and Casper Jander also scoring in a dream opening 45 minutes for the Saints, who have won all three matches since the German coach replaced Will Still earlier this month.

Azaz turned provider for the opening goal after 14 minutes, supplying the cross for his fellow country-man Manning to power a header home from a few yards out.

Armstrong was once again the architect for Southampton's fourth goal in the 22nd minute. His deft touch was collected by Azaz, who clinically breezed past Kaminski to tap home before the playmaker pounced again with a simple finish, touching the ball in after just 43 minutes.

Also on Saturday, Championship leaders Coventry came from two goals behind to beat 10-man West Brom 3-2 in a thriller at the CBS Arena.

Aune Heggebo's brace put the visitors two goals ahead - both created by Ireland international Mikey Johnston - but Josh Eccles halved the deficit before the break.

And after Jayson Molumby had been sent off four minutes into the second half, Ellis Simms and Victor Torp were on target to make it nine wins in 10 for Frank Lampard's side.
