  1. 'You still expect Burnley to win this game'

    Cardiff 1-2 Burnley

    Glen Little
    Ex-Burnley winger on BBC Radio Lancashire

    You still expect Burnley to win this game, but at 2-1 you never know.

    Burnley are just starting to put the pressure on. But you can tell we struggle to score from corners, they have no confidence to put it in the box.

    They are constantly looking for all these funny angles from the corners.

  2. Millwall 0-1 Bristol City

    Close call for the visitors as Joe Bryan releases Aidomo Emakhu again and his angled cross is parried by Max O'Leary, with Mihailo Ivanovic eventually volleying the loose ball over the bar.

    Emakhu has certainly looked a threat since he came on and Bristol City will know the points are by no means in the bag yet.

  3. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley

    Another save from Ethan Horvath as a shot from Josh Cullen comes through a crowd scene - good reactions from the Cardiff goalkeeper..

  4. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley

    Some danger signs for Cardiff now as Marcus Edwards finds some space but his shot is blocked by Dimitrios Goutas.

    Burnley are dominating.

  5. PENALTY APPEAL

    Cardiff 1-2 Burnley

    Josh Brownhill goes down the box and wants a penalty but referee James Linington isn't playing ball.

    A second look at that tells us Cardiff might have got away with one there.

    Zak Vyner (53 mins)

    Bristol City goalscorer Zak Vyner celebratesPA Media

    Zak Vyner probably wouldn't have attracted too much interest from the Lions defence as a potential goalscorer - but that's exactly what the Bristol City defender has achieved!

    Millwall fail to clear a corner and Cameron Pring drills the ball back across the box, with Vyner in the right place at the right time to slam it home.

    The 27-year-old's last goal came in April 2023.

  7. 'It is game on! Lets get another one'

    Hull 1-0 Plymouth

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside

    This game needed something like that. It wasn't the best goal, but Joel Gelhardt still had to put it away.

    It is game on! Lets get another one and climb away from that danger zone.

  8. Cardiff 1-2 Burnley

    Ethan Horvath is called into action for Cardiff to deny Jaidon Anthony as Burnley work the ball into the home area all a little too easily once again.

    JJ Watt be celebrating that goal like a Cardiff ultra.

    Anon

    Burnley shareholder and NFL legend JJ Watt had promised goalkeeper James Trafford in December that he'd come out of retirement and play for the Cincinnati Bengals if he went the rest of the season without conceding.

    It was fun while it lasted.

  10. Preston 0-0 Swansea

    What a miss from Milutin Osmajic.

    Preston win the ball on the halfway line and Brad Potts slides it across the area but Osmajic tries to be too precise with his finish and places it wide.

    That's two good chances for the Montenegro international now.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Hull 1-0 Plymouth

    Joe Gelhardt (47 mins)

    Joe Gelhardt slots Hull into the lead against PlymouthGetty Images

    What a start to the second half for Hull!

    Sean McLoughlin rifles a drive from outside the box and the ball deflects off a Plymouth body into the path of Joe Gelhardt, who needs no second invitation.

    The on-loan Leeds striker slots the loose ball into the corner of the net for his second Tigers goal - and this could be a big one.

  12. SUBSTITUTION

    Millwall 0-0 Bristol City

    Lions boss Alex Neil has made a substitution at the break, sending on Aidomo Emakhu in place of Femi Azeez.Emakhu is immediately involved in the game, dancing in from the left to earn Millwall a corner.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Cardiff 1-2 Burnley

    A double change for Cardiff at the start of the second period.

    Andy Rinomhota and Alex Robertson are off with Will Fish and Rubin Colwill replacing them.

  14. KICK-OFF

    #bbcefl

    One game with goals, three are goalless.

    Off we go for the second halves.

  15. 'So far it has been sloppy'

    HT: Hull 0-0 Plymouth

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside

    Hull forward Kyle Joseph tries to rally the home supportGetty Images

    The positive is that Hull are still in the game, there have been a couple of half chances from both teams, it has been very scrappy and no quality in the final third.

    There have been no real passages of play where you are thinking, 'yep, we look good there'. So far it has been sloppy with bad tackles, little niggling tackles.

    It just looked like frustration and the fans are sitting here hoping for it to happen. The players were trying to get the crowd going, but you have to do something on the pitch to get them going.

  16. 'Cardiff back in it'

    Cardiff 1-2 Burnley

    Michael Pearlman
    BBC Sport Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium

    1132* minutes later and it is Yousef Salech who has ended the insane Burnley clean sheet run.

    Cardiff City are back in this one.

    * According to a man who got a C in GCSE maths in 1997.

  17. HALF-TIME

    Cardiff 1-2 Burnley

    Burnley players celebrate with Maxime Esteve after his goal at CardiffPA Media

    Burnley's proud defensive record is ended as they concede after 1132 minutes but importantly for their promotion hopes they lead at the break.

    Goals from Josh Brownhill and Maxime Esteve had the visitors cruising but they had been warned earlier in the half with Yousef Salech striking a post for Cardiff.

    The Danish striker then got on the end of Joe Bagan's cross three minutes before the break to cut the deficit and give the strugglers hope of rescuing something from the game.

  18. HALF-TIME

    Preston 0-0 Swansea

    Preston's Will Keane takes on Swansea defender Harry DarlingPA Media

    Goalless at the break.

    Chances for Milutin Osmajic and Sam Greenwood for the home side while Lewis O'Brien has had an effort saves for Swansea.

    It's good enough to keep us warm but little more than that.

  19. HALF-TIME

    Millwall 0-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City's Max Bird is challenged by Luke Cundle of MillwallPA Media

    Both sides have threatened in patches, but nothing they've been able to sustain for any length of time.

    Right now you wouldn't back either of them to surge into the top six come May, but still at least another 45 minutes for that perception to change dramatically!

  20. 'Maybe I spoke too soon?'

    Cardiff 1-2 Burnley

    Glen Little
    Ex-Burnley winger on BBC Radio Lancashire

    Maybe I spoke too soon?

    The clean sheet run has come to an end. We have seen some missed chances this season and the two missed penalties from Sunderland and at 2-0 here I was expecting another clean sheet.

    I feel the second goal just made us a bit complacent, and goals can change games. Can Cardiff be the first team to score two against this Burnley side.
