  1. Evans sent to stands

    League Two latest

    Steve EvansRex Features

    Mansfield boss Steve Evans has always been a bit of a character, but perhaps he's been a little bit too fiery today, as he's been sent to the stands with his team trailing 2-0 at Grimsby.

    Three minutes later, he sees the Stags fall 3-0 behind, Callum Dyson scoring for the penalty spot, with Mansfield's Hayden White joining his manager in getting sent off.

    Elsewhere, Cheltenham are surely on course to pick up a big three points at home to Yeovil, with Billy Waters making the score 2-0 to the Robins from the penalty spot.

    Last-placed Newport were momentarily 2-0 up at Cambridge, but Barry Corr has headed in for the U's to make it 2-1.

  2. Coventry clinging on

    League One latest

    David WheaterRex Features

    Are the nerves getting to Coventry? They led Gillingham 2-0 at half-time but, following a change of goalkeeper at half-time, they now hold just a one-goal advantage, with Max Ehmer on the scoresheet for the Gills.

    Play-off-chasing Fleetwood are 1-0 up at MK Dons, where Cian Bolger has got himself on the scoresheet, while Bristol Rovers' Bob Harris has scored an own-goal to give Port Vale a 1-0 lead.

    Meanwhile, Bolton have pulled a goal back at Bradford, David Wheater making it 2-1 with around 30 minutes to play.

    Rodney Marshall: Halifax 3 Northampton 6. 1986-87 title-winning season. Cobblers didn't bother defending that season, just blitzed opponents.

  6. Ipswich 1-1 Leeds

    David McGoldrickRex Features

    Ipswich striker David McGoldrick hits the crossbar with a delightful chip over Robert Green. Leeds survive for now.

    Meanwhile, Barnsley substitute Adam Hammill should have brought the Tykes level against Brighton but fired over from 10 yards.

  7. Barnsley 0-1 Brighton

    Barnsley have made their first change - it's a winger for a striker, as Adam Hammill comes on for Tom Bradshaw.

    Brighton, who will go top of the Championship with a win, are looking comfortable for the moment.

    Ben Osborn

    A lifeline for Nottingham Forest, as midfielder Ben Osborn fires in after good work from impressive teenager Ben Brereton.

  9. Fast start to second half in League Two

    League Two latest

    Jordan CookRex Features

    There have been a couple of goals at the bottom of League Two, with Cheltenham three points clear of the relegation zone as it stands, Tin Plavotic's goal putting the Robins 1-0 up against Yeovil. Robins boss Gary Johnson will be pleased with that - he's up against his old club, of course.

    Leyton Orient, who are 23rd, need something out of their game against Notts County with Cheltenham and bottom side Newport both leading, and Paul McCallum has reduced the Magpies' advantage to 2-1.

    At the top of the table, fourth-placed Luton are ahead at leaders Doncaster thanks to Jordan Cook's goal.

  10. Wow. That was a hectic few minutes.

  11. goal

    Michael Kightly

    Three goals in three games for Burton's Michael Kightly and the Brewers are back in front against Norwich a couple of minutes after falling behind.

    The on-loan Burnley winger chips goalkeeper John Ruddy to restore the hosts' advantage.

    Craig Noone has made it 3-0 for Cardiff against Rotherham. Game over there, surely.

  13. goal

    GOAL - Nottingham Forest 0-2 Sheffield Wednesday

    Fernando Forestieri

    Fernando Forestieri rarely scores tap-ins and this one is no exception - a superb turn and volley which has set Sheffield Wednesday well on the way to victory at Nottingham Forest.

    Meanwhile, QPR double their lead at Birmingham through Conor Washington.

  14. goal

    GOAL - Burton 1-1 Norwich

    Cameron Jerome

    Cameron Jerome has scored with his face and Norwich are level at Burton in very fortunate circumstances.

    Steven Whittaker's shot hit the striker and flew into the net.

  15. RED CARD

    Sheffield United 1-1 Scunthorpe

    And now a red card for Scunthorpe's Harry Toffolo, who's been sent off for a second bookable offence.

    Two goals and a sending off in five minutes. Goodness me - what a eventful start to the second period at Bramall Lane.

  16. goal

    GOAL - Sheffield United 1-1 Scunthorpe

    Billy Sharp

    Ah, and now they're level.

    Scunthorpe's lead lasts all of about 180 seconds as Billy Sharp nets his 21st league goal of the season to bring the League One leaders level against his old side.

    And we were just saying amongst ourselves how quiet the first half had been at Bramall Lane.

  18. Burton 1-0 Norwich

    Norwich, who are aiming to extend their six-match unbeaten run, have brought on Wes Hoolahan for Jacob Murphy at half-time against Burton.

    How they could do with a Hoolahan howitzer like we saw against Nottingham Forest seven days ago.

    They're back under way at the Pirelli Stadium and soon our other EFL games will follow.
