What an action packed Boxing Day it's been in Leagues One and two, with a couple of West Midlands sides sitting pretty at the top of the third and fourth tiers respectively.

Birmingham picked up their eighth victory in a row after overcoming Burton to sit a point adrift on top of the League One tree.

And in League Two Walsall continued their good form to go nine points clear at the top of the table after their win over Doncaster. It's now 12 league games unbeaten and five wins on the spin for the Saddlers - who have a game in hand on their rivals, too.

We'll be back on Sunday for more thrills and spills in the EFL.

Thanks as ever for joining us and enjoy your Boxing Day evening.

A tough day for Burton carries an extra wound as Shrewbury's win over ninth place Lincoln City takes them off the bottom and sinks the Brewers.

Crawley Town's defeat in the early kick-off means they are unable to escape the bottom four while Stevenage and Peterborough all take a tumble downwards.

But perhaps it will be Blackpool most aggrieved by today's outcomes after a controversial penalty decision goes against them and sends them into the bottom 10.

The home side claim all three points on Boxing Day.

DRAMA AT THE STOK RACECOURSE!

Wrexham substitute Steven Fletcher strikes and it hits a Blackpool defender.

Referee blows his whistle. He think it's handball. The Blackpool players say not.
