  1. Middlesbrough 1-2 Coventry

    Victor Torp is adjudged to have fouled Boro's Aidan Morris on the edge of the Coventry area and the hosts win a free-kick in a very promising position... but Riley McGree's effort is tame and straight at the wall.

  2. Watford 0-1 Preston

    What do Watford have in response to going a goal down against Preston?

    Well they're peppering the visitors with chance after chance.

    Mamadou Doumbia works onto a Othmane Maamma cross but his left-footed drive goes wide while moments later Marc Bola sees his shot blocked and Preston are called into action again soon after to deny Imran Louza.

  3. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 0-1 Derby

    Joe Ward (34 mins)

    Against the run of play, Joe Ward heads Derby 1-0 up.

    Callum Elder provides an amazing cross for Ward at the back post who beats Eom Ji-Sung to the ball after a little nudge.

  4. goal

    GOAL: Southampton 1-0 Leicester

    Taylor Harwood-Bellis (18 mins)

    Taylor Harwood-Bellis rises to head Southampton into the leadGetty Images

    Ryan Manning draws a foul in a promising area for the Saints and oh boy, do they make the most of it!

    Manning's delivery is high and pinpoint as it finds a high-rising Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who lashes it in with a powerful header to open the scoring.

  5. YELLOW CARD

    Stoke 2-0 Charlton

    Conor Coventry picks up the first yellow card as he tries to prevent the blistering run of Junior Tchamadeu and gives them a glance of goal in a great free-kick position.

    It's swung in but the resulting header doesn't meet the net.

  6. Swansea 0-0 Derby

    Derby's Bobby Clark runs down the right wing with acres of space but takes too long to make a decision and his cross into a packed six-yard box goes wasted.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-2 Coventry

    Morgan Whittaker (32 mins)

    Callum Brittain embraces Middlesbrough goalscorer Morgan WhittakerGetty Images

    Hold your horses... Middlesbrough aren't giving up this title contest without a fight!

    A well worked corner is kept alive by Boro and Alfie Jones flicks it on to Morgan Whittaker who fires a first time volley with his left boot into the bottom corner.

    Game well and truly back on at the Riverside. What an opening 30-odd minutes we've had here.

  8. Get Involved

    Middlesbrough 0-2 Coventry

    Typical Boro, the defending is non existent. Passing across the back is no good when you’re 2 down at home within 15 minutes.

    Barry, Taunton

  9. Middlesbrough 0-2 Coventry

    Victor Torp links up well with Ellis Simms yet again for Coventry.

    Simms turns on the pass and tries to place one in the corner but can't quite generate enough power.

  10. Get Involved

    Middlesbrough 0-2 Coventry

    You can keep your five minute VAR stoppages, players falling over every 30 seconds; this Coventry v Boro game is a banger to watch!

    Pete, Leeds

    I’ve texted in every week saying “we’re winning the league” and some Coventry fans kept replying “it’s too early”. Are we watching the same team? We’re running away with it.

    Mitchell, Coventry

  11. Hull 0-0 Ipswich

    Just two shots so far during the opening half an hour at the MKM Stadium.

    Neither Hull or Ipswich have shown much in front of goal thus far.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 1-0 Oxford

    Jovon Makama (29 mins)

    A big goal at Carrow Road!

    Oxford are unable to clear and Norwich keep it alive. It eventually drops to Jovon Makama about 15 yards out and he hammers a powerful half-volley into the top corner.

    The Canaries are chasing their first point on home soil this season in Philippe Clement's first home game in charge

    Good start to doing just that this evening.

  13. PENALTY APPEAL

    Stoke 2-0 Charlton

    Stoke's Junior Tchamadeu is electric in the box and is looking for a sight as he tries to make his way through the box.

    He eventually finds himself flat on the grass and the bet365 increase in volume in hopes of a penalty call.

    The referee doesn't give it though and the shot from Robert Bozenik meets Charlton bodies.

    Messy, scrappy, undeniably worrisome for the visiting fans.

  14. CLOSE!

    Swansea 0-0 Derby

    Eom Ji-Sung rescues a counter-attack that looked like it fizzled out for Swansea. He runs into the box from the left hand side and fires a shot in to the bottom right corner of Derby's goal but it's saved by Widell Zetterstrom.

  15. Norwich 0-0 Oxford

    Frustration around Carrow Road as the home support want their team to do things just a little bit quicker.

    Norwich have endured their worst start to an EFL season since 2007-08 - when they also had nine points after 16 games in the Championship. They went on to finish 17th that season but were then relegated to League One the following year.

  16. YELLOW CARD

    Southampton 0-0 Leicester

    Southampton's Leo Scienza is floored by Olabade Aluko to earn the teenager his first yellow card.

  17. Middlesbrough 0-2 Coventry

    Boro's Aidan Morris leaves Victor Torp in a heap on the edge of the Coventry box after a hefty challenge. Morris gets away with a talking to from the ref.

    The visitors want a yellow but replays show that Morris slipped into the tackle, so perhaps not as intentional as it first looked...

  18. 'Proper team'

    Middlesbrough 0-2 Coventry

    Danny Fox
    Former Coventry defender on BBC CWR

    What I love, is that they look like a proper team. They all work hard for each other.

    Look how when they lose the ball, they're all desperate to go and win it back.

    And they're winning it back in areas where they can then go and threaten.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Watford 0-1 Preston

    Daniel Jebbison (22 mins)

    Preston are off the mark!

    Daniel Jebbison sends the Lilywhites ahead against the club where he previously had a spell on loan.

    Lewis Dobbin disposseses Imran Louza in midfield then plays Jebbison through with a neat through ball and he finishes low past Hornets keeper Nathan Baxter.

  20. League One update

    #bbcefl

    Stevenage open the scoring in League One after a penalty awarded for handball. Jamie Reid converts sending Peterborough keeper Alex Bass the wrong way.

    It remains goalless between Luton and Huddersfield.
