    Burnley 2-0 Watford

    Josh Laurent gets to the byeline for Burnley and tries to square it for Zian Flemming who was in space in the six-yard box but Watford defender Francisco Sierralta does well to steer it away.

    The Clarets trying to put the cherry on top of the Christmas pudding now.

  2. goal

    GOAL: Cardiff 0-2 Sheff Utdpublished at 16:31 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Kieffer Moore (73 mins)

    The leaders extend their advantage.

    Former Cardiff City striker Kieffer Moore gets his and the Blades' second of the day.

    Bluebirds keeper Jak Alnwick might think he could have done better.

  3. goal

    GOAL: Sunderland 2-1 Norwichpublished at 16:30 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Jobe Bellingham

    Comeback complete!

    Drama on drama!

    No sooner are the away side reduced to 10 men than they are behind.

    The free-kick is worked to Jobe Bellingham and the teenage forward works a shooting opportunity and buries it.

  4. goal

    GOAL: Plymouth 2-1 Middlesbroughpublished at 16:30 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Darko Gyabi (72 mins)

    Wayne Rooney's team are back in front!

    Darko Gyabi has been a lively presence in midfield today.

    He makes it 2-1 by turning home Mustapha Bundu's cross for his first goal in senior football.

  5. RED CARD: Jose Cordoba (Norwichpublished at 16:29 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Sunderland 1-1 Norwich

    It was INEVITABLE someone was getting sent off in this!

    Canaries defender Jose Cordoba sees red for a second bookable offence after a poor challenge on Chris Mepham.

  6. 'Leeds carve Oxford open'published at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Leeds 3-0 Oxford

    Leigh Bromby
    Former Leeds defender on BBC Radio Leeds

    Really good goal, great work from Solomon again and then Aaronson takes a really good touch and just slides it past the keeper.

    Leeds just able to carve Oxford open, good play from Leeds.

    GOAL: Leeds 3-0 Oxfordpublished at 16:27 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Brenden Aaronson (67 mins)

    The home side running riot now.

    USA international Brenden Aaronson finishes well for his sixth of the season after good play from Manor Soloman.

    New Oxford boss Gary Rowett won't be enjoying watching this but their real battles are against the teams around them in the table rather than those chasing promotion.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:27 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    QPR 1-1 Preston North End

    Neither side seems to be really pushing for a winner here, which is a shame as three points for either team would push them four places up the table.

    Queens Park Rangers have a new look attack though as goalscorer Rayan Kolli and Koki Saito are off and are replaced by Ilias Chair and Michael Frey.

    Preston also take off their scorer, as Milutin Osmajic comes off for the dangerous Emil Riis.

    Will Keane is on for Sam Greenwood in the visitors' other change.

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:27 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Burnley 2-0 Watford

    Watford almost pull one back but for an excellent stop by Burnley keeper James Trafford.

    Francisco Sierralta tries to stab it beyond Trafford from point blank range but he's there to prevent an almost certain goal.

  10. Postpublished at 16:25 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Millwall 0-0 Blackburn

    Still all square at The Den. Millwall are without a win in six, while Blackburn have won six on the bounce before today.

    Nine of Millwall's past 13 games have ended 0-0 or 1-0 to either side, so perhaps that stat tells its own story.

  11. 'Outstanding finish'published at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Cardiff 0-1 Sheff Utd

    Dafydd Pritchard
    BBC Sport Wales at Cardiff City Stadium

    Kieffer Moore's goal is as good as the rest of this game has been bad.

    Outstanding control and finish from the Wales striker.

    There's been very little else to talk about in terms of chances at either end - but that was a moment of class.

    "We're top of the league," sing the Blades fans.

  12. Postpublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Plymouth 1-1 Middlesbrough

    The frustrating thing for Middlesbrough in this match has been that just one of their ten shots has been on target.

    Midfielder Hayden Hackney, who lashed the ball over earlier, has just fired wide after good build-up play from forward Tommy Conway.

    Kieffer Moore (65 mins)

    The league leaders lead!

    Wales international striker Kieffer Moore makes it two in two with a brilliant finish after bringing a cross under control.

    The Blades will stay three points clear at the top if they can see this over the line.

  14. goal

    GOAL: Burnley 2-0 Watfordpublished at 16:21 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Josh Brownhill (63 mins)

    Burnley make it two!

    Skipper and Clarets top goalscorer Josh Brownhill bags his eighth of the season and second in two games.

    A fine move by Scott Parker's side and Brownhill applies an excellent finishing touch, curling into the corner.

    Long, long way back for Watford now against such a mean defence.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Plymouth 1-1 Middlesbrough

    Another concern for Wayne Rooney and Plymouth as Ryan Hardie is injured and is replaced by veteran striker Andre Gray.

    It follows an injury being picked up by Michael Obafemi in the first few minutes of the match.

    Is it time for another stoppage-time spectacular from Gray?

  16. Postpublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Burnley 1-0 Watford

    Hannibal Mejbri tries to slip a ball through to Jaidon Anthony for Burnley but Watford make a last-ditch interception.

    The Clarets are half-an-hour from a sixth win in eight games - and stretching their unbeaten run to nine matches.

  17. 'Great individual goal'published at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Leeds 2-0 Oxford

    Leigh Bromby
    Former Leeds defender on BBC Radio Leeds

    What a goal!

    Great individual goal, great run, great intensity he's created that all himself, fabulous finish as well. Great play from Bogle.

  18. goal

    Jayden Bogle (57 mins)

    You'd have to say that will likely be that.

    Attacking full-back Jayden Bogle gets his third of the season with a quality finish.

    Oxford going bottom, Leeds potentially going top.

  19. Postpublished at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Cardiff 0-0 Sheff Utd

    Jak Alnwick in the home goal is forced into a decent save by Tom Davies.

    Still little festive cheer for those Blades fans who have made the long trip to Cardiff.

  20. Postpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2024

    Sunderland 1-1 Norwich

    Tell you what, the yellow cards are stacking up in this one.

    Norwich goalscorer Anis Slimane is the sixth player to receive an unwanted Christmas card.

    Ha, and then Denis Cirkin of Sunderland becomes the seventh moments later!
