    Stoke 1-1 Norwich

    We are all over at the Bet365 Stadium and the match finishes all-square.

    Sorba Thomas' goal early in the second-half cancelled out Jovon Makama's early tap in for the visitors with Stoke ending the game with 23 attempts on goal.

    The Potters will be disappointed not to win all three points after Million Manhoef hit the post with approximately 20 minutes left but could have lost it late on when Viktor Johansson was forced into making a terrific save one-on-one from Norwich talisman Josh Sargent.

    An enthralling game comes to an end.

    Preston 0-0 Bristol City

    Incredible save from Preston's Daniel Iversen, who has had an excellent game, to deny Anis Mehmeti in the final seconds and with that it is full-time - the game ends all-square.

    Mehmeti's strike was heading for the top corner but five minutes into stoppage time, Iversen makes his sixth stop of the match to preserve his clean sheet and a point for his side.

    Wow!

    At the SEVENTH time of asking Sheffield United get their season up and running.

    Ipswich 2-1 Portsmouth

    Closer than it sounds.

    Jaden Philogene and George Hirst had Ipswich in the driving seat but they failed to make the most of their dominance.

    Marlon Pack's late goal was merely a consolation.

    Back-to-back league wins for Ipswich for the first time since May 2024.

    Substitute Kaly Sene got the all-important equaliser.
