Brentford 2-1 Cheltenham: League One beating League Two

Carlisle 0-1 Huddersfield: Two League One teams.

Chesterfield 1-2 Middlesbrough: Championship beats League Two.

Crewe Alexandra 1-0 Derby: The Rams are a Championship side so for Crewe, a League Two side, to win it's a bit of a feat.

Leeds United 4-0 Lincoln City: Poor Lincoln City. Championship triumphing over League Two.

Norwich 4-1 Gillingham: Freshly relegated into League Two, Gillingham try to put up a fight against their former compatriots in League One and fail.

Scunthorpe United 2-1 Oldham Athletic: Championship beats League One.

Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Bury: League One overcomes League Two.

Shrewsbury 4-3 Charlton: Thrilling game. Charlton were up 3-0 at 32 minutes. Shrewsbury started to turn it around with their first goal at 36 minutes and finished with their fourth at 76. A League Two club defeats League One.

Southampton 2-0 Bournmouth: Two clubs in the same league--One.

Southend United 3-2 Bristol City (extra time): The Shrimpers, relegated to League Two last season, managed to defeat a Championship side.

Stockport County 0-5 Preston North End: PNE really tried to rival Oxford on number of goals scored, but they couldn't quite make it. A little less impressive when it's a Championship side running rampant over a League Two side.

Swindon Town 1-2 Leyton Orient: Two League Ones.
