CHERRIES fell five points behind Championship leaders Norwich City after being held to a goalless stalemate by Luton Town.

Cherries v Wycombe (Picture: Richard Crease) JUNIOR Stanislas’s second-half strike sent Cherries back to the top of the Championship after a 1-0 victory over Wycombe Wanderers at Vitality Stadium. The Cherries star netted his sixth goal in as many games to put the Dorset club ahead of previous leaders Norwich on goal difference. Stanislas’s winner came just four minutes after Wycombe’s Alex Pattison was sent off for a lunging challenge on midfielder Lewis Cook. Manager Jason Tindall named an unchanged starting XI from the side who overcame Huddersfield Town 5-0 at home on Saturday. The hosts welcomed back Joshua King to the bench after a back injury and Diego Rico was among the substitutes after serving a suspension.
