FT: Leeds 3-3 Portsmouth
Aidy White
Former Leeds United full-back on BBC Radio Leeds
Where did that come from?!
It's been a difficult second-half for Leeds after an initial great start. Pompey started to play themselves into the game.
It looked like all things were done after the penalty but to have the heart to come back.
It's been an amazing game, it's just a shame they didn't get the three points.
Leeds United 3-3 Portsmouth
What a game we have just seen at Elland Road.
When it looked like Portsmouth had won it at the death, Brenden Aaronson managed to score and snatch a point for the home side.
Despite the late heartbreak, Portsmouth will still be delighted with the draw on their return to the second tier.
Millwall 2-3 Watford
Spectacular stuff at The Den on the opening day of the season.
The home side were 2-0 down before Duncan Watmore's late double looked to have earned them a share of the points but, just moments after he netted his second, Mileta Rajovic nodded in from close range to win it for the Hornets.
An emotional day that saw the home side pay tribute to goalkeeper Matija Sarkic, who died at the age of 26 in June, ends in a victory for Watford.
Leeds United 3-3 Portsmouth
What a huge chance for Leeds to take all three points.
Brenden Aaronson shoots wide from inside the box with just the keeper to beat.
Cardiff 0-2 Sunderland
A fantastic start for Sunderland and new boss Regis le Bris. A disappointing one for Cardiff.
Luke O'Nien's early header and Jack Clarke's late clincher ensures the Black Cats will enjoy a very long, but happy, trip back up to Wearside.
Hull City 1-1 Bristol City
Basically nothing doing in this for 85 minutes and then Fally Mayulu looked to have won it for the away side.
However, in time added on Oscar Estupinan stepped up to slot home a leveller from the penalty spot.
Brenden Aaronson (90 + 5 mins)
Portsmouth thought they had won it but Brenden Aaronson has equalised!
A host of Portsmouth defenders around the Leeds man in the box but he manages to shoot low into the bottom left-hand corner past the outstretched glove of Pompey keeper Will Norris.
DRAMA!
QPR 1-3 West Brom
No prizes for who is player of the day in the Championship!
Josh Maja's hat-trick sees last season's play-off semi-finalists kick off with three points as West Brom come from behind to win at Loftus Road after Lucas Andersen's opener.
Stoke 1-0 Coventry
Lewis Baker comes off the bench to win it for the home side and give them the perfect start to the season.
Oxford United 2-0 Norwich City
What a result on the opening weekend for Championship new boys Oxford United.
They return to the second tier for the first time in 25 years and mark it with a 2-0 win over Norwich City.
The Kassam rises to applaud manager Des Buckingham and the players in yellow on the field.
Millwall 2-3 Watford
Duncan Watmore is denied his hat-trick for the home side by a brialliant save by Daniel Bachmann in the Hornets goal.
Time for one more in this?!
Leeds 2-3 Portsmouth
Guy Whittingham
Former Portsmouth manager on BBC Radio Solent
Keep believing.
Portsmouth stuck in the game so well after conceding so quickly in the second-half.
If Leeds had their shooting boots on...
Pompey still need to manage the rest of the game. It's not over.
Callum Lang (90 + 2 mins pen)
Portsmouth lead at Elland Road!
Callum Lang slots the ball down the middle of the goal from the spot as the keeper goes the wrong way.
Portsmouth fans celebrate wildly.
Middlesbrough 1-0 Swansea
It took them eight games last season, it has taken them just one this year as Middlesbrough get the three points.
Emmanuel Latte Lath's first-half penalty secures a first opening-day win for Boro since 2014.
Middlesbrough 1-0 Swansea
It really, really should be 2-0.
Isaiah Jones breaks clear, he has Emmanuel Latte Lath unmarked who he could square to - he neglects to do that and slips it past Lawrence Vigouroux.
But Ben Cabango gets back from nowhere to hook it away a yard in front of the line. Great defending!
Leeds United 2-2 Portsmouth
Pompey have a penalty late on!
So many late goals. This is why we love the Championship!
Oscar Estupinan (penalty) (90+1 mins)
The home side get a late, late leveller from the spot!
Oscar Estpuinan, who has been recalled from a loan spell in Brazil, equalises for the home side with a confidently struck penalty.
Mileta Rajovic (90 mins)
WHAT A GAME!
Watford were 2-0 up and then the home side pegged them back to 2-2 but Mileta Rajovic is on hand to put them back in front late on from close range!
Jack Clarke (89 mins)
Game over!
Sunderland's star man, Jack Clarke, decides the outcome of the three points.
Jobe Bellingham lays it out wide left to Clarke, who cuts into the box and finds the bottom corner with a real touch of class.
Super finish - this guy is one of the Championship's best players.
