    It's VERY early days for new Plymouth boss Miron Muslic, but that's now just one point taken from his opening three games in charge.

    And they've all been at Home Park.

    Plymouth fans, do you have faith that he can keep you in the Championship?

    Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no.

  2. Leeds back on top... for nowpublished at 22:06 Greenwich Mean Time

    Championship table top

    Leeds end tonight atop the Championship after their routine win over Norwich.

    Burnley massively boosted their goal difference with their 5-0 shellacking of lowly Plymouth and move back up to third.

    All the other runners and riders in the top six played yesterday.

    Sheffield United can go back up to the second tier summit with a win over Hull City on Friday in what really is a relentless season.

    The top four sides in the Championship all won this midweek to mean there are 10 points between fourth-placed Sunderland and fifth-placed Boro.

  3. Pompey play up but Pilgrims punishedpublished at 22:03 Greenwich Mean Time

    Championship table bottom

    Plymouth's miserable season took another turn for the worse in the shape of their biggest home defeat this campaign.

    The Pilgrims' 5-0 loss to promotion-chasing Burnley means they are now six points adrift of safety with a massively inferior goal difference to everyone above them.

    Portsmouth claimed a fourth successive home win and moved out of the bottom three with a 3-1 win over Stoke who are going the wrong way.

  4. Postpublished at 22:00 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    That's 14 games without a win in the Championship now for Plymouth Argyle (D6 L8).

    The Pilgrims also have both the leakiest defence (60 goals conceded) and the least potent attack (25 goals scored).

  5. 'Promotion winning performance'published at 21:56 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    Steve Eyre
    Former Manchester City coach on BBC Radio Lancashire

    Yes, the clean sheet was good tonight, but the key was playing well and racking up some goals.

    And even though Plymouth were incredibly poor this was a promotion winning performance from a Burnley side looking forward to the next game against Championship leaders Leeds.

  6. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:52 Greenwich Mean Time

    Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    What an easy night that was for Burnley. A disastrous one for Plymouth.

    Five first-half goals for the Clarets help them keep pace with the automatic promotion spots.

    Argyle remain rooted to the bottom and the goal difference has taken a real pasting.

    An evening to forget for Miron Muslic and his side who have a LOT of work to do to escape the drop this season.

  7. Burnley v Leeds on Mondaypublished at 21:51 Greenwich Mean Time

    Leeds players will be back in the dressing room now and seeing that score come in from Home Park with some interest.

    The Whites travel to Burnley on Monday for what promises to a be a cracking game between two of the best sides at this level.

    Daniel Farke's men are unbeaten in 11, while Scott Parker's men haven't lost any of their past 16 games in all competitions.

  8. 'Muslic smiles at fourth official'published at 21:51 Greenwich Mean Time

    The fourth official held up his sign for additional time and Miron Muslic walked past smiling.

    Maybe he's thankful there's not more than two minutes.

  9. INJURY TIMEpublished at 21:50 Greenwich Mean Time

    Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    Only two minutes added on. Kind on Plymouth. This game was over about 60 minutes ago to be fair.

  10. Postpublished at 21:48 Greenwich Mean Time

    Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    Hannibal Mejbri hammers the free-kick over the bar for Burnley. Anti-climax for those visiting fans behind the goal. They can't really complain, though...

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:48 Greenwich Mean Time

    Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    Burnley's Josh Laurent drives towards the edge of the box, perhaps in search of a hat-trick, but he's hacked down by Matty Sorinola, who goes into the book for Plymouth.

    Free-kick in a promising position for the visitors here.

  12. Postpublished at 21:47 Greenwich Mean Time

    Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    The contrast in fortunes between these two sides couldn't be more extreme.

    Plymouth are about to extend their winless run in the Championship to 14 games.

    Meanwhile, Burnley will be unbeaten in their past 15 should it stay the same.

    Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    If ever there was a real-life definition of something petering out, then this game is it.

    Burnley's players are probably already thinking about their next game... a huge clash at home to Leeds on Monday night.

    What a game that promises to be in the race for automatic promotion.

    A couple of minutes left on the clock, plus stoppages.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time

    Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    Joe Worrall is on for Burnley in place of CJ Egan-Riley.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time

    Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    Teenager Tegan Finn is getting sent on in fairly bleak circumstances for just his fourth league appearance of the season for Plymouth but it will be experience nonetheless.

    He replaces Michael Baidoo.

  16. Postpublished at 21:41 Greenwich Mean Time

    Plymouth 0-5 Burnley

    "We want six," the Burnley fans chant from the away end.

    It has been a very quiet second half. A stark comparison to the first. Not that Plymouth will be too disappointed about that.

  17. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time

    Sheff Wed 2-2 Bristol City

    A very good game that unfortunately doesn't do much for either teams' play-off hopes.

    Djeidi Gassama's early goal had the hosts a goal to the good at the break but Nahki Wells headed in a leveller.

    That didn't last long though as Di'Shon Bernard finished coolly for the Owls, the Robins didn't go under though and Ross McCrorie got a deserved leveller for Liam Manning's men.

    These pair now both four points off the top six.

  18. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time

    Portsmouth 3-1 Stoke

    A big win for Portsmouth as they climb four places from 22nd and go above Stoke into 18th.

    That's four wins on the bounce at Fratton Park for Pompey, thanks to goals from Colby Bishop, Callum Lang and Connor Ogilvie.

    Ben Wilmot had given the visitors hope before half-time after falling two behind inside nine minutes.

    But Ogilvie made sure of the points just three minutes in the second half to subject Mark Robins to his first defeat as Potters boss.

  19. 'Comfortable for Leeds'published at 21:39 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Leeds 2-0 Norwich

    Aidy White
    Former Leeds United full-back on BBC Radio Leeds

    This was another comfortable win for Leeds, and even though it trailed off in the second half a lot of the decision making has been really good.

    The keeper didn't have to do much for his clean sheet, either.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:38 Greenwich Mean Time

    Portsmouth 3-1 Stoke

    Stoke's Ben Wilmot has been down on the deck for a few minutes and looks to be in pain after a strong challenge by Terry Devlin.

    He limps off and is being replaced by Bosun Lawal.
