Middlesbrough had to come from behind to post a 3-1 victory against Cardiff.
Fabio's first goal for Cardiff after 20 minutes was cancelled out five minutes*later by a calamity moment for his team-mate Matthew Connolly, whose attempted*clearance ended up in his own net.
Gaston Ramirez popped up in the 63rd minute to put Boro ahead and David Nugent*made sure of a first win in six shortly after Grant Leadbitter had missed a*penalty.
It was rather easier for Brighton, who emphatically ended Bristol City's*winning run with a 4-0 victory at Ashton Gate.
Jamie Murphy and Sam Baldock put the Seagulls two up in 21 minutes, Tomer Hemed*extended the lead in the 56th minute and a Mark Little own-goal rounded off the*scoring, with City missing a late penalty.
