    David McGoldrick

    Well how about this? The game that was supposed to be goalless has produced five of them.

    David McGoldrick looks likely to have bagged a winner, putting Ipswich Town 3-2 up with only a few minutes to spare.

    Lucas Piazon hits a free-kick for Fulham against the crossbar and we're into the dying embers of a very entertaining match at Craven Cottage.

  7. Can Exeter end hoodoo?published at 16:45 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2016

    Looking for a quirky tidbit today? Well look no further, as Exeter City are leading Mansfield Town 1-0 in League Two and edging towards an elusive first home win this season.

    They are the last team in the English Football League without a victory at home in 2016-17.

    In fact, their last win at St James Park was back in April when they beat local rivals Plymouth Argyle.

    Since then, we have had an Olympic Games, a European Championship has been staged and won by Portugal, Leicester won the Premier League, then there has been Brexit and Donald Trump was elected US President.

    So yeah, a long time coming it seems...

    "Crowd starting to get restless, a goal for Wednesday would take them back into the top six. "

    Alex Pearce

    Topsy-turvy game at Craven Cottage swings another way as Alex Pearce looked like a Boeing 747 to meet a corner and bring the Rams level.

    Meanwhile, Wolves have extended their advantage at Nottingham Forest through Ivan Cavaliero's powerful strike.

    Burton 1-2 Newcastle

    Is that the chance for Burton?

    Lloyd Dyer pulls the ball back to Lukas Akins, but the Burton forward is leaning back and hits the ball over the bar.

    You need to take them against a side top of the table.

    Oh my goodness!

    Wes Brown, making his first league start for Blackburn, has scored his first goal since 2011!

    The former Sunderland and Manchester United defender meets a Craig Conway corner with a powerful header to bring struggling Rovers level against a side managed by his former United team-mate Jaap Stam.

    Bristol City 0-1 Preston

    Tammy Abraham scored just once in his previous six games before today, but the Bristol City striker almost levels for the Robins, but smashes against the post.

  16. Lund with a treble for Dalepublished at 16:31 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2016

    Matthew Lund is very much the man for Rochdale today against Northampton Town.

    Twice he leveled for the Dale, and his third after 67 minutes puts the visitors ahead at Sixfields Stadium in League One.

    And that doubles Lund's league tally for the season!

    Wigan 2-2 Ipswich, Leeds 0-0 Brentford

    Wouldn't you just know it? I said earlier we weren't going to get goals between Wigan and Ipswich given their recent lack of goals, but we've had four!

    Brett Pitman has notched his second of the match and third of the season from close range after Wigan failed to clear a ball into the box.

    Meanwhile, at Elland Road, Leeds have failed to have a shot on goal. They are obviously missing injured striker Chris Wood.

    Burton 1-2 Newcastle

    Burton forward Lukas Akins looked to break through on goal but Newcastle centre-back Jamaal Lascelles is on hand to save the day and get the ball away.

    The Magpies will be hoping to extend their lead at the top of table before Brighton play Birmingham in the late kick-off.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Fulham 2-1 Derbypublished at 16:21 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2016

    Stefan Johansen, a summer signing for Fulham from Celtic, has just scored for the fourth consecutive match after his effort deflects in off Derby defender Alex Pearce.

    Meanwhile, Wigan have come from behind to lead 2-1 against Ipswich thanks to a second goal from Yanic Wildschut, who beats Luke Chambers and Adam Webster on his way to firing in.
