Rampant Blackpool signalled their intention to secure a return to the English Premier League after storming to the top of the Championship with a 6-0 win over Ipswich at Bloomfield Road on Saturday.
Much may depend on whether manager Ian Holloway can keep hold of Thomas Ince during the transfer window, and the red-hot winger added to his reputation with two goals and three assists to demolish Ipswich.
Town defender Aaron Cresswell handed the Tangerines the lead with an own-goal in the 13th minute before Gary Taylor-Fletcher made it 2-0 on the stroke of half-time.
Ince bagged a brace shortly after the break before defender Craig Cathcart and forward Nouha Dicko completed the rout.
Newly-promoted Sheffield Wednesday continued their bright start to the season, scoring in the last-minute for the third time in as many games to retain second position.
In-form winger Jermaine Johnson fired the Owls into the lead but goals from Lions midfielder James Henry and captain Liam Trotter gave the visitors a half-time lead.
Wednesday's Spanish defender Miguel Llera squared the contest with 20 minutes remaining before firing in a loose ball in the 90th minute to snatch all three points.
There were also goals galore at the Amex Stadium where Brighton thumped Barnsley 5-1.
Blackburn eased the pressure on manager Steve Kean after claiming a 2-1 win over big-spending Leicester at Ewood Park.
Veteran Portuguese striker Nuno Gomes put Rovers into a first-half lead before new City striker Jamie Vardy levelled on 55 minutes.
The match was finally settled in the 77th minute by Morten Gamst Pedersen's superb strike, confounding the club's global adviser Shebby Singh who earlier this month labelled the Norwegian "a pensioner".
Last season's Premier League bottom club Wolves suffered more heartbreak on Saturday as Derby striker Theo Robinson pounced in the last minute to rescue a 1-1 draw.
After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Bristol City's new-found confidence helped inspire them to a 4-2 win over Cardiff at Ashton Gate.
Middlesbrough sealed a 2-1 win over struggling Crystal Palace at the Riverside Stadium.
Seb Hines marked his debut with the opening goal before midfielder Merouane Zemmama made it 2-0 on 52 minutes.
Jermaine Easter's penalty hauled Palace back into game, but they remain rooted to the bottom after three defeats.
Leeds kept the pressure on the top teams as Argentinian striker Luciano Becchio scored twice in their 2-1 victory at Peterborough.
Promoted Charlton drew 0-0 draw at home against Hull, but the game was spoiled by heavy rain which at some points made passing almost impossible.
Huddersfield, also promoted last season, registered their first three points of the season as goals from Joel Lynch and Jordan Rhodes helped them to a 2-0 win over Burnley.
On Friday, Bolton and Nottingham Forest had played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Reebok Stadium.
