Swansea City moved to the top of the Championship table ahead of the international break following a 2-1 victory against Lincoln City. Lincoln opened the scoring with a first-half penalty converted by Reeco Hackett, giving the home side a halftime lead. However, Swansea responded strongly in the second half with goals from Moussa Yeo and Stephen Eustaqio, securing the comeback win.

Speaking after the match, Swansea manager Vitor Matos acknowledged the significance of reaching the summit but emphasized the need for continued focus. “It’s a nice feeling, of course, but we need to stay grounded as we know there are a lot of games and there is a lot still to compete for,” Matos stated.

Elsewhere, the Championship witnessed a heated London derby at The Den between Millwall and West Ham’s U23 side, which ended in a 2-2 draw. The match was marked by a controversial incident in which West Ham forward Taty Castellanos was accused of spitting at Millwall goalkeeper Filip Marschall. The incident added tension to an already fiercely contested encounter.

Both fixtures underscored the competitive nature of the league as teams prepare to resume after the break.
