After three games without a win, a Cedric Kipre own goal in first-half injury time and then a first goal in Boro colours for Morgan Whittaker saw them go two points clear of unbeaten Coventry City, who host Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. Boro have now collected 13 points from a possible 15 at the Riverside under head coach Rob Edwards and this result will maintain the early season optimism that the former Luton Town boss has generated on Teesside since his June arrival. For Ipswich, it was a first defeat in six games and they were left to rue George Hirst's penalty miss - just three minutes before the opening goal - as his effort was brilliantly saved by Boro goalkeeper Sol Brynn. Captain Dara O'Shea did halve the deficit with 14 minutes left, but they could not rescue a point as they remain ninth and winless on their travels this season. Boro's outstanding start of four wins out of four in August had stalled somewhat just before the international break with two draws and a first defeat in a loss at Portsmouth.

The hosts took a sixth-minute lead as Bradley Barcola collected Desire Doue's pass and finished well past visiting goalkeeper Mike Penders. But Doue's older brother, Guela, helped Strasbourg equalise as his cross was headed in by Joaquin Panichelli, before Diego Moreira fired home from a tight angle just before the break to give the visitors the lead. They stretched their advantage four minutes into the second half with Panichelli's second goal, this time following Moreira's through-ball. PSG were given a lifeline in the 58th minute as Penders fouled Desire Doue and Goncalo Ramos converted the resulting penalty. Senny Mayulu then made it 3-3 in the 79th minute with a header after Penders - on loan from Chelsea - had parried his first attempt. The home side, without injured Ballon d'Or-winning forward Ousmane Dembele, ended strongly but could not find a winner as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia missed an opportunity by shooting narrowly wide from outside the penalty area. PSG have won the French title in 11 of the past 13 seasons, including each of the past four, and are one point above Strasbourg, who move up to second, one point ahead of Marseille in third and fourth-placed Lyon. Strasbourg would have gone top with a win. They are managed by Englishman Liam Rosenior and their side included England left-back Ben Chilwell, who joined the French side from Chelsea in September, and former Brighton midfielder Julio Enciso. PSG are next in action on Tuesday and will be aiming for their third Champions League win in three matches this season when they play Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.

Substitute Sam Dalby and Amario Cozier-Duberry scored deep into stoppage time to help Steven Schumacher's side leapfrog Huddersfield into seventh position. The visitors trailed at half-time after a seventh-minute goal from Leo Castledine. The attacking midfielder, on a season-long loan from Chelsea, ghosted in completely unchallenged to head in Ruben Roosken's corner. But Bolton rallied well after that early setback, with Terriers goalkeeper Lee Nicholls producing two crucial saves to thwart Max Conway and Marcus Forss. Driven on by a sold-out away end, Bolton piled on the pressure after the break as Mason Burstow headed straight at Nicholls when well-placed and John McAtee had a shot cleared away from near the goal-line by Joe Low. But Cozier-Duberry came up trumps for Bolton late on, seeing his inch-perfect cross nodded in by Dalby. The lively winger then capped a fine performance by drilling in a late winner after a quick counter-attack.

Spain boast a formidable record in Group E with this their fourth win from four, while they have scored 15 goals and conceded none. But Turkey's win against Georgia keeps them in the running to finish top of the standings, as they sit second on nine points, three behind Spain. Merino opened the scoring with a header in the first half and added a second after the break when he powerfully nodded into the bottom corner. Merino has been in excellent form for Spain and has now scored six goals in four World Cup qualifiers. Spain got a third late on when Atanas Chernev turned a cross into his own net before Mikel Oyarzabal added a fourth in injury time from the penalty spot.

Thomas Tuchel's side needed victory to assure their place in the showpiece, the outcome never in doubt as England outclassed a Latvian side ranked 137th in the world. Amid the celebrations, it was at times an uncomfortable night for Tuchel, who felt anger and frustration from England's travelling fans as they chanted sarcastically, and loudly, in response to the head coach's criticism of "silent" supporters after the friendly against Wales at Wembley. The bigger picture, however, reveals that England qualified with two games to spare after a flawless first campaign for Tuchel, who succeeded Sir Gareth Southgate in January. Anthony Gordon put England ahead after 26 minutes with a low, curling finish and captain Harry Kane scored twice more before the interval, first with a strike from the edge of the area then from the spot after his shirt was pulled. England added a fourth just before the hour when Latvia's Andrejs Ciganiks bundled Djed Spence's cross into his own net. Substitute Eberechi Eze further emphasised England's dominance with a dribble and low finish to make it 5-0 after 86 minutes.
