Luton 3-0 Watford
Leon Barnett
Former Luton defender on BBC Three Counties Radio
Once again it's great work from Jacob Brown.
He's one on one with Ogbonna and he has to defend better than this, he was in the Premier League with West Ham.
It's a great finish, i'm really happy for him, game over.

Cardiff 5-0 Plymouth
What a day for the Bluebirds.
Plymouth spurned an early chance through Michael Obafemi but after that it was one way traffic with Alex Robertson, Rubin Colwill, Anwar Al Ghazi, Callum Robinson and Chris Willock scoring goals which more than doubled City's tally for the season.
Ibrahim Cissoko got himself sent off for retaliation shortly before the break, with his Argyle side already 2-0 down, meaning this outcome was always likely.
Colwill stole the show with a fine goal and two assists and Cardiff are looking up, all of a sudden. The same can't be said of Plymouth, however.
FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:23 British Summer Time
Preston 1-0 Coventry
Make that three wins from eight and three clean sheets in a row for Paul Heckingbottom and Preston.
A tight game ends in Lancashire ends with a home win, thanks to Emil Riis' second half header.
Both sides wasted good opportunities either side of the break before Riis reacted quickest from Robbie Brady's cross to nod home the winner.
Coventry had a Haji Wright effort disallowed soon after, and had to watch home keeper Freddie Woodman make a huge late stop to keep all three points at Deepdale.
Preston move up to 14th and four points clear of safety, while Coventry remain in trouble a point and a position above the drop zone.
The Sky Blues have still never won at Deepdale in the league.
GOAL Luton 3-0 Watfordpublished at 14:23 British Summer Time
Jacob Brown (90+1 min)
Luton put the gloss on it...
A nice moment for Jacob Brown after a long spell on the sidelines through injury, he latches onto a long clearance from Thomas Kaminski and turns inside his defender before firing into the bottom corner of Daniel Bachmann's goal for his first goal of 2024.
Hatters fans in dreamland.
GOAL Oxford 1-1 West Brompublished at 14:23 British Summer Time
Dane Scarlett (90+2 mins)
A huge long throw is hurled into the West Brom box by Will Vaulks which Elliott Moore flicks on and there is Dane Scarlett to convert.
GREAT SAVE!published at 14:21 British Summer Time
Preston 1-0 Coventry
Freddie Woodman that is OUTSTANDING!
A 100th league appearance for Preston will likely now end in a clean sheet thanks to a stunning save at full stretch from Bobby Thomas' header.
Coventry will wonder what more they need to do to get a goal this afternoon.

Oxford 0-1 West Brom
We will have five minutes of added time.
CLOSE!published at 14:19 British Summer Time
Preston 1-0 Coventry
The ball is at the wrong end as far as Coventry are concerned as injury time starts at Preston.
The away side need to get bodies in the way to stop a fierce effort from the edge of the box from finding the back of the net.
Three minutes left at Deepdale.
Postpublished at 14:17 British Summer Time
Oxford 0-1 West Brom
Oxford pressing but have they left it too late?
West Brom's changes looked to be all about managing the game but they may have just encouraged the home side...
CLOSE!published at 14:17 British Summer Time
Preston 1-0 Coventry
Haji Wright is taking it upon himself to get his side back on level terms at Deepdale.
The forward gets in a good position again from a cross from the right, but the header is over the top.
Time running out if the Sky Blues want anything from this game.
GREAT SAVE!published at 14:16 British Summer Time
Luton 2-0 Watford
Daniel Bachmann to the rescue for Watford as Elijah Adebayo bears down on goal after being played clean through on the right, but he can only sidefoot his attempt into the outrushing keeper.
The Hatters forward looks desperately short of confidence infront of goal. A dinked finish was needed there.
His last goal came against Everton in early May. And it shows.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:14 British Summer Time
Oxford 0-1 West Brom
Another change for Oxford as Idris El Mizouni goes off to be replaced by Owen Dale.
Baggies still going top as it stands.
GREAT SAVE!published at 14:14 British Summer Time
Cardiff 5-0 Plymouth
What a save this is.
Callum Robinson tries to bend a SIXTH into the top corner but somehow Dan Grimshaw flies to his left and sticks out a finger which tips the ball just over the woodwork.
Man of the Match might be a stretch, given Rubin Colwill's contribution, but he's been excellent in the Argyle goal, despite the scoreline.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:14 British Summer Time
Oxford 0-1 West Brom
Another double change for West Brom.
Jayson Molumby and Mikey Johnston are on.
Uros Racic and Josh Maja are the men to make way.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 14:13 British Summer Time
Preston 1-0 Coventry
Tough to take for Coventry, this.
Haji Wright produces a lovely finish on the turn through a crowd of Preston players, but the ball had hit the American striker's hand for the first touch.
Deliberate or not, that one can't stand. A shame, because that was a fine finish.
GOAL Cardiff 5-0 Plymouthpublished at 14:10 British Summer Time
Chris Willock (80 mins)
Omer Riza's job application is taking shape.
This is another cracking finish as a Cardiff corner is only half-cleared to the edge of the box where sub Chris Willock meets the ball with a first-time volley down into the ground which bounces into Dan Grimshaw's top corner.
City have been rampant. This is a day to forget for Plymouth and their travelling army of 3,200 fans,
Postpublished at 14:10 British Summer Time
Luton 2-0 Watford
Watford enjoying a spell of possession in the Luton half but the Hatters are holding their shape well and throwing their bodies in the way when needed.
One goal would set up quite the finale, but Luton are not going to make it easy.
'Watford have struggled with them'published at 14:08 British Summer Time
Luton 2-0 Watford
Leon Barnett
Former Luton defender on BBC Three Counties Radio
I'm glad they've played the two big men up top today.
Morris and Adebayo have won everything up front, Watford have struggled with them.
They've held it up well which has helped the side.
