  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 24 August

    Preston 1-0 Luton

    The perfect start so far for new Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom, as his side score their first goal in eight league games through Will Keane, to lead Luton at the break.

    The Hatters' return to the Championship continues to be difficult. Can they comeback and get something out of this game?

    Mark Harris (45 mins)

    Oxford United lead!

    It's a stunning goal from Mark Harris, he volleys the ball from all of 40 yards into the back of the net, wow!

    Harris is now the first player to net in each of a promoted club’s opening three games of a Championship campaign since Charlton’s Lyle Taylor in 2019-20.

    Sunderland 1-0 Burnley

    Burnley really not going going in this one.

    They'd won their opening two games 4-1 and 5-0 but, as we approach half-time, they're yet to have a shot of any sort.

  11. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:38 British Summer Time 24 August

    Stoke 1-2 West Brom

    Mike Pejic
    Former Stoke defender on BBC Radio Stoke

    It should be a goal from Lewis Koumas. A ball in behind, attack the space, free as a bird.

    It hits the post, simple tap in - he volleys it over the bar.

    At least Stoke have finally woken up to space behind West Brom, they are pushing up so high. Stoke are now finding Koumas with his runs.

    Norwich 1-1 Sheff Utd

    Neill Collins
    Former Sheffield United defender on BBC Radio Sheffield

    Well deserved, Sheffield United have continually got into those positions. Just what we've been asking - more bodies in the box and Oliver Arblaster is there.

    I said there was going to be goals and I don't think that will be last of today.

  14. CLOSE!published at 15:35 British Summer Time 24 August

    Well that didn't last long...

    Stoke players were still catching their breath after drawing level and West Brom pounce instantly and retake the lead.

    Lewis Koumas (29 mins)

    Stoke are back in this and it comes seconds after the Baggies came close to doubling their lead.

    No sooner had West Brom's Tom Fellows seen an effort saved on the line by Stoke keeper Viktor Johansson, at other end Million Manhoef's through ball picks out Lewis Koumas in the six-yard box.

    He calmly strikes into the net and draws Stoke level.

    The home side level with a cracker!

    Vakoun Bayo gives the Hornets a deserved equaliser with a spectacular finish.

    Mattie Pollock drifts a cross over from right to left and Bayo leaps into the air to crash home an acrobatic volley.

  19. 'Burnley are miles off it'published at 15:29 British Summer Time 24 August

    Sunderland 1-0 Burnley

    Steve Eyre
    Former Burnley youth player on BBC Radio Lancashire

    Brilliant finish from Romaine Mundle.

    Three times, three attacks - three attacks from James Trafford alone.

    Connor Roberts is nowhere near the pace of the game, nowhere near the level. I was excited to be here but Burnley have been miles off it.

  20. Stoke stunned by Johansson errorpublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 24 August

    Stoke 0-1 West Brom

    Ged Scott
    BBC Sport at the bet365 Stadium

    It's not a major surprise to see Albion take the lead here, following a lively first 20 minutes from the visitors.

    And it's not a major surprise that the goal was created by winger Tom Fellows, who has been a handful.

    The surprise was seeing the almost comic way with which home keeper Viktor Johansson dealt with Fellows' teasing right-wing chipped cross.

    Was the cross really so good that it made look Johansson look stupid? Or would he have made a better job of it if he had taken a quick step back and not appeared so leaden-footed?

    Either way, Karlan Grant was the grateful recipient to nod home at the back stick. And the Stoke fans have been left stunned!
