    League Two

    Gareth Evans has equalised for Portsmouth with their 15th goal in the last five league games, as they look to record an eighth match unbeaten against leaders Northampton.

    It's not just Chelsea's players responding to their manager being sacked. Luton, who parted company this week with John Still, lead 2-0 at Exeter after goals from Cameron McGeehan and Danny Green. Caretaker Andy Awford must reckon this management lark is easy.

    Southampton 0-2 Tottenham

    It's all gone wrong for Southampton in the space of a few minutes, and there is some more rank defending here. Kyle Walker has all sorts of room down the right, he puts over a low cross and everyone switches off, they must think that Dele Alli is offside! he's very much not though and he steers home with ease.

    And still Chelsea come...

    Oscar drives forward, Pedro crosses and goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon collects,

    This looks like the old Chelsea.

    "Brilliant finish from Harry Kane, once he got through. 

    "But Southampton's defending was comical - Kane ran through three challenges with no-one getting any contact on the ball or the man."

    Championship

    Rotherham have lost their last three games to leave them in the relegation zone, but could all that be about to change? They lead fourth-placed Hull City thanks to a Lee Frecklington penalty. 

    It's more bad news for rock-bottom Bolton, who have fallen behind to a first goal in almost two years from Luke Garbutt, the Fulham defender on loan from Everton. Lasse Vibe and Alan Judge had added to Brentford's lead against Huddersfield. It's 3-0 at Griffin Park.

    West Brom 0-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth are well on top against 10-man West Brom.

    Plenty of patience from the Cherries as they await their chance.

  8. Kane breaks the deadlockpublished at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2015

    Southampton 0-1 Tottenham

    Superb, individual goal from Harry Kane! The England man had it all to do when he collected the ball 40 yards out, with three defenders on him. But he beats the lot - Virgil van Dijk's rather rash lunge as last man helped him out - but once in on goal he provided a clinical side-footed finish into the corner.

    Former Chelsea & Norwich striker on Final Score

    "Cameron Jerome missed a sitter last week but that is a big goal for Norwich. They can cope with this - the way they play is set up for the counter attack."

  11. Jerome at Old Trafford!published at 15:39

    Man Utd 0-1 Norwich

    As the awful weather descends upon Old Trafford, so does more woe as Norwich bundle themselves ahead. It's a scruffy goal as Cameron Jerome somehow breaks two half-hearted challenges and then shoots right through David de Gea - who was very poor there. Crisp-packet wrists!

    Stoke 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Chance for Stoke as Erik Pieters sees his cross on the left deflected goalwards by Marco van Ginkel and it comes back off the post with the keeper beaten.

    "It was an awful challenge! McClean has cleaned him out completely, and has lost his head. But, I'll be honest... that's happened to me!"

    Chelsea 2-0 Sunderland

    Chelsea are playing with real freedom.

    Pedro swings the ball in from the left and Diego Costa heads wide.

    Where were these players earlier this season?

    What are you doing James McClean?

    Talk about gifting your opponents the advantage. The midfield takes a wild swing at Bournemouth's Adam Smith and connects.

    A straight red card is the only option.

    Everton 1-1 Leicester

    That's seven Premier League games in a row that Romelu Lukaku has scored in now. A machine.

    Former Chelsea striker on Final Score

    "Romelu Lukaku was in the right place at the right time. Kasper Schmeichel made a terrific save from Ross Barkley's first shot, and when the rebound came to him Lukaku's finish was instinctive.

    "Everton are superbly expansive going forward but that can be a weakness - Leicester look capable of exploiting them on the break."
