Fulham have moved to within six points of the Championship's automatic promotion places after defeating fellow high-fliers Derby County 2-1 at Pride Park.
Early goals from in-form duo Aleksandar Mitrovic and Ryan Sessegnon handed the visitors maximum points, with Tom Huddlestone's consolation doing little to boost the fifth-placed Rams' promotion ambitions.
Playoff hopefuls Bristol City consolidated their position in the top six with a 4-0 dismantling of struggling Sheffield Wednesday, with a Bobby Reid hat-trick and a Josh Brownhill strike doing the damage at Ashton Gate.
At the other end of the table, basement club Sunderland remain five points away from a position of safety following a 1-1 draw with Millwall, a match in which a rare Bryan Oviedo goal was cancelled out in the second half by Shaun Hutchinson.
Fellow strugglers Bolton Wanderers failed to capitalise and the Black Cats' dropped points, going down 3-1 at home to Preston North End.
Birmingham City, meanwhile, remain in trouble after losing 2-1 at Nottingham Forest, staying in 22nd place as a result.
No fewer than five of the other scheduled fixtures were called off due to the extreme weather in the UK.
