  1. HITS THE WOODWORK

    QPR 1-1 Preston

    QPR's Paul Smyth has been a brilliant creative outlet for the hosts today.

    He set up Rayan Kolli for the hosts' equalising goal and deserves to be on the scoresheet himself, but instead crashes a fierce strike against the bar.

  2. Sunderland 2-1 Norwich

    Into seven minutes of time added on in this.

    Can the 10 men Canaries grab an equaliser?

  3. Cardiff 0-2 Sheff Utd

    Into five minutes of time added on but this one's over.

    Cardiff face a massive game at fellow strugglers Oxford on Boxing Day.

  4. Plymouth 3-3 Middlesbrough

    Hayden Hackney is the latest player to try his luck at getting his second goal of this match for Middlesbrough.

    But it is yet another strike that goes wide for Michael Carrick's side.

    They have now had 16 shots, with just six on target.

    27 shots in total across both teams, which isn't bad for entertainment.

  5. EIGHT ADDED MINUTES

    Millwall 0-0 Blackburn

    Plenty of time to find a winner for either side still. There will be EIGHT minutes of added time!

  6. Burnley 2-1 Watford

    Watford are threatening much more since pulling that goal back. Burnley hanging on really. Is there enough time left to salvage this for the Hornets?

  7. Plymouth 3-3 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough striker Emmanuel Latte Lath is inches away from making it 4-3, but his low effort is just about gathered by Plymouth keeper Daniel Grimshaw.

    This match has the frantic energy of busy Christmas shoppers rallying round to buy all their presents at the last minute.

    Perhaps that sounds familiar...

  8. RED CARD FOR PRESTON

    QPR 1-1 Preston

    Preston defender Liam Lindsay is shown a second yellow card and the visitors are down to 10 men.

  9. CLOSE!

    Millwall 0-0 Blackburn

    Both sides go close...

    Blackburn's Dominic Hyam connects with a header from a corner but it's blocked and then moments later, Macaulay Langstaff heads over from close-range for Millwall from Joe Bryan's cross.

  10. Sunderland 2-1 Norwich

    Anthony Patterson comes up with a big save from Ashley Barnes as the 10 men look to level.

    Emmanuel Latte Lath scores a goalRex Features

    OH MY WORD!

    This is what happens when the division's worst defence meets the highest scorers away from home.

    Substitute striker Emmanuel Latte Lath volleys home and we have now matched the scoreline from this fixture last season.

    Plymouth are back at the bottom of the table.

    Utterly breathless.

    Wayne Rooney celebratesRex Features

    This game has turned AGAIN!

    Brilliant determination from Wayne Rooney's Plymouth side, who are back out of the bottom three places.

    Substitute defender Nathanael Ogbeta delivers a brilliant cross and Mustapha Bundu fires the ball home from close range.

  13. Cardiff 0-2 Sheff Utd

    Well, it's official...

    GOAL: Burnley 2-1 Watford

    Kwadwo Baah (80 mins)

    Watford have hope!

    Just moments after firing one just wide, Kwadwo Baah has pulled one back for the Hornets from a corner.

    It was floated into the box and Baah was left unopposed to fire home with a powerful volley.

    Can Watford become the first side to score twice against Burnley this season and rescue what looked like an unlikely point?

  15. Millwall 0-0 Blackburn

    George Saville has a pop from distance for Millwall but it's straight at Blackburn keeper Aynsley Pears.

    Less than 10 minutes for either side to find a winner.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Plymouth 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Hayden Hackney (77 mins)

    That didn't last long!

    Five minutes after Wayne Rooney's Plymouth went in front through Darko Gyabi's strike, Middlesbrough are level for a second time in this match.

    Hayden Hackney sees a strike parried by Plymouth keeper Dan Grimshaw, but the midfielder makes sure the rebound hits the net.

  17. Millwall 0-0 Blackburn

    Still no breakthrough for either side at The Den.

    Blackburn's Ryan Hedges breaks away down the left and bends it across for Andi Weimann who manages to connect on the stretch but Lukas Jensen is equal to it in the Millwall goal.

  18. Plymouth 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough defender George Edmundson heads wide from a Finn Azaz corner as Plymouth try to hang on to this lead that Darko Gyabi has given them.

    The 2-1 scoreline means Wayne Rooney's team are on target to move out of the drop zone.

    It puts Hull City back into the bottom three just hours after Ruben Selles' side climbed out of those positions because of their win over Swansea.

  19. 'Leeds have done the buisness'

    Leeds 4-0 Oxford

    Leigh Bromby
    Former Leeds defender on BBC Radio Leeds

    Piroe slips through Solomon.

    Once again, its a great strike and a good goal. The ball from Piroe was excellent as well to play it into his stride.

    Leeds have done the buisness today, professional performance, the manager gets to make some changes which will be helpful with the upcoming schedule.

    GOAL: Leeds 4-0 Oxford

    Manor Soloman (73 mins)

    YIKES.

    Leeds hit their fourth against lowly Oxford.

    Manor Soloman adds a goal to his two assists today.

    The Tottenham loanee wallops home after being teed up by Joel Piroe.

    Nine successive home wins for the Whites now.
