Super-sub Adam Idah snatched the winner with his first touch of the game as Swansea bravely battled back from a goal down to stun Stoke 2-1. The Republic of Ireland international had been on the pitch for barely a minute when he scored in the 66th minute as the Swans claimed their first win at the bet365 Stadium for over five years. Defeat was a bitter bill to swallow for the Potters, especially after Eric Bocat had fired them into a 10th-minute lead. The defender grabbed his first goal for the club on his 60th league appearance with a deflected left-foot strike. But Nigeria international midfielder Joseph Opoku snatched a 23rd-minute equaliser for the Swans, powering in with a sweet right-foot shot after some poor defending. And the hosts' frustrating afternoon went from bad to worse when Idah won it with a smart close-range finish after more questionable defending. Tyreece Campbell's impressive start to the new season continued as his 80th-minute goal earned Charlton a 2-1 victory over Derby at The Valley. It capped off a week to forget for the Rams after Saudi government official Turki Alalshikh’s takeover collapsed on Monday. Ireland's Sammie Szmodics, who had also netted in the EFL Cup loss to Lincoln, had put Derby into a lead at the halfway point. But Lloyd Jones, who signed a new two-year contract on Friday, headed the Addicks level before Campbell produced an excellent finish to seal maximum points for Nathan Jones’ side. Sam Dalby and Thierry Gale scored first-half goals as Bolton beat Preston 2-1 to record their first Sky Bet Championship win since March 2019. Last season's League One play-off final winners have been predicted to struggle on their return to the second tier after seven years away. But in front of a sellout 26,262 crowd at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, Steven Schumacher’s side dominated the long-standing members of this division. The only nerves came four minutes from time when Jusef Erabi headed in fellow substitute Andrija Vukcevic’s cross. Liam Lindsey should have headed a last-gasp equaliser but missed from close range. Josh Coburn netted a double as Millwall kicked off their Championship campaign with a comfortable 2-0 win over Jason Knight's Bristol City at Ashton Gate. The home side went a man down after 36 minutes when midfielder Adam Randell was shown a second yellow card for a foul to prevent a counter-attack. Five minutes later Coburn converted a low Ryan Leonard cross from the right with a near post volley. Coburn then doubled the advantage after 50 minutes, taking advantage of wretched defending to net unchallenged with a downward header from 10 yards. Marquee signing Will Lankshear notched a second-half double as Middlesbrough fought back to kick off their Championship bid with a hard-fought 2-1 victory and end newly promoted Lincoln's stunning nine-month unbeaten run. The Imps – playing their first second-tier match in 65 years – made a strong start and opened the scoring in the 12th minute through Adam Reach. But former Tottenham forward Lankshear marked his first league appearance since his much-hyped move to the Riverside by equalising just after the hour and then stabbing in a stoppage-time winner. It was a devastating end for spirited Lincoln as a run of 29 games undefeated in all competitions since early December was brought to a halt in their first league match since their new joint head coach partnership of Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw stepped up to take the reins following the departure of boss Michael Skubala to Bristol City in May. Max O'Leary and West Brom launched a smash-and-grab raid to open their Championship campaign with a hard-fought 2-1 win at Norwich. The Baggies were under the cosh for long periods at Carrow Road but stood firm before scoring twice late on through Aune Heggebo and Jimmy-Jay Morgan to secure an unlikely victory. Norwich substitute Mathias Kvistgaarden reduced the arrears in the 90th minute but it was too little, too late for a home side who will wonder how they failed to take all three points, let alone one. Ilias Chair scored twice as QPR came from behind to beat Portsmouth 3-1 and claim their first win at Fratton Park in 26 years. Pompey dominated the opening half an hour and took the lead through Terry Devlin's long-range screamer. But Rangers scored three times in 15 minutes before half-time to earn a first win away to Pompey since May 2000. The Republic of Ireland's Harvey Vale and Jimmy Dunne both played the full 90 for the victors. Sheffield United and Birmingham made an underwhelming start to the Championship season as they played out a goalless draw at Bramall Lane. Both sides have ambitions of mounting promotion challenges this campaign, but there was not too much to get excited about in this drab curtain-raiser where chances were at a premium. Optimism is always high at the start of a new season, but this was not a case of either side hitting the ground running as a tightly contested first half passed without either side managing a shot on target.
