Pitman's winner gave Ipswich their fourth straight away win

An entertaining west London derby saw Fulham and Brentford play out a 2-2 draw at Craven Cottage. Alan*Judge's penalty was cancelled out by a James Tarkowski own goal five minutes before half-time.

And Bristol City moved out of the relegation zone with a 2-1 win at Huddersfield.*Jonathan Kodjia and Aden Flint were on target in the first half for the visitors, with Harry Bunn netting a consolation for Huddersfield six minutes from time.
