Callum O'Dowda was central to both of Bristol City's goals as they beat QPR 2-1 at Loftus Road to rise to third in the Sky Bet Championship.
Rob Dickie had put the hosts in front with a first half header but goals either side of half-time at Nahki Wells and Adam Nagy gave victory to the visiting side.
O'Dowda's deflected cross teed up the first goal for Bristol and he pounced on a defensive error to lay on the winner for Nagy five minutes into the second half.
Alan Browne and Sean Maguire both featured (the latter being withdrawn just in injury-time) as Preston ended Bournemouth's unbeaten home record with a deserved 3-2 win at the Vitality Stadium.
Tom Barkhuizen gave Alex Neil's men the lead early in the first half before Scott Sinclair delivered a moment of magic with a 40-yard lob to double their advantage.
Patrick Bauer's 68th-minute goal rendered Junior Stanislas' brilliant free-kick and Sam Surridge's first Bournemouth league goal no more than consolation efforts for the hosts.
Wayne Rooney suffered more frustration when Derby were denied victory by a stoppage-time goal which earned Coventry a late 1-1 Championship draw at Pride Park.

Cardiff manager Neil Harris hailed striker Kieffer Moore after his brace ended their wait for back-to-back Championship victories.

Cauley Woodrow went from villain to hero and bagged an early birthday present as he paved the way for Barnsley's 2-1 win at Birmingham.
The striker - who turns 26 on Wednesday - equalised with a penalty in the 71st minute to make up for two first-half misses, before Callum Styles grabbed the winning goal in the 84th minute.
Before that, it looked like Scott Hogan's 56th-minute strike might give the Blues their first win in six games, ending a run of 326 minutes without a goal in open play.
Brentford climbed into the playoff spots with a 2-0 win away at Rotherham, second half goals from Marcus Forss and a late penalty from top scorer Ivan Toney seeing them to victory.
