    This is an incredible game at Spotland.

    Sheffield United's lead doesn't last long, as Nathaniel Mendez-Laing fires in to make it 3-3.

    Elsewhere, Oldham are now down to nine men, defender Brian Wilson sent off with the Latics trailing 1-0 at Walsall.

    Blackburn 1-0 Wigan

    Chances for both sides at Blackburn.

    First Connor Mahoney shoots over for the hosts after a good piece of skill, then Dan Burn heads just wide for the Latics.

    Paul McShane

    It's been all Wolves since they levelled, but play-off hunting Reading are back in front as Paul McShane heads in John Swift's free-kick.

    Derby are also in front against Barnsley as David Nugent's effort trickles in, while Aston Villa are also on course for a third-straight win courtesy of Will Vaulks' own goal.

    Bristol City 0-0 Burton

    This is not a picture Lee Tomlin - or Bristol City fans - will enjoy looking at.

    As you can see, the forward really got underneath this penalty, skying it high over the bar.

    City have only won one of their last 15 league games. If that run stretches to a 16th game they could well find themselves in the bottom three.

    Sheffield United were 2-0 up at Rochdale, pegged back to 2-2, and now they're back in front at Spotland.

    Billy Sharp has got the goal which leaves the Blades seven points clear at the top of League One as it stands.

    Second-placed Scunthorpe thought they were level against third-placed Fleetwood when David Mirfin headed in, but the goal was disallowed for a foul on Cod Army keeper Alex Cairns.

    Blackburn 1-0 Wigan

    Wigan bring Will Grigg on as they seek an equaliser at Ewood Park.

    The Northern Irishman was on fire last season, but hasn't scored in the Championship since September.

    Just over 15 minutes remain in this one.

    Nottm Forest 1-0 Brighton

    Here's Zach Clough celebrating Nottingham Forest's opener.

    However, he might lose the goal to Britt Assombalonga, who may have got the final touch on the ball.

    It could be controversial, as a couple of Albion players protested that Assombalonga was offside at the time.

    Solly March has an effort for Brighton after coming off the bench, as JOrdan Smtih turns his low effort behind for a corner.

    Albion make their third and final chance, as Tomer Hemed replaces Sam Baldock up front.

    It's hard to see any way for Newport to survive on this form.

    They're now 4-0 down at home to 23rd-placed Leyton Orient, as Josh Koroma completes his hat-trick from the penalty spot.

    Elsewhere, Wycombe now lead 2-1 at Grimsby having fallen behind earlier on, with Paris Cowan-Hall firing in their second goal after an own-goal had drawn the scores level.

    Bristol City 0-0 Burton

    Bristol City have a golden chance to take the lead at home to Burton from the penalty spot.

    John Mousinho hauls down Aden Flint and referee Graham Scott awards it.

    Lee Tomlin steps up and, rather uncharacteristically, blazes high over the bar.

    As it stands the Robins are dropping in to the bottom three. Just over 20 minutes remain at Ashton Gate.

  12. Forestieri clips Canaries' wingspublished at 16:29 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2017

    Sheff Wed 5-1 Norwich City

    It's fast becoming an afternoon to forget for Norwich at Hillsborough.

    Fernando Forestieri curls in a free-kick from 30 yards and the Canaries are going to be nine points off the play-offs at the end of today.

    Nottm Forest 1-0 Brighton

    Brighton have made two changes in a bid to mount a comeback.

    Midfielder Oliver Norwood and winger Solly March are on for Steve Sidwell and Jamie Murphy respectively.

    Albion need something to keep their automatic promotion bid on track.

    Brian Laws
    Ex-Forest defender on BBC Radio Nottingham

    "The technology has wound the Brighton players up for sure, because it was quite clear it was offside. Only one player was over at the referee but then it came up on the big screen and they all went over."

    Bristol City 0-0 Burton

    Burton spurn a good chance to take the lead at Bristol City.

    John Brayford gets to the byline and cuts the ball back to Lloyd Dyer.

    The forward is unmarked in the box but sends his effort wide.

    Blackburn 1-0 Wigan

    Rovers are ahead after a quick counter-attack.

    Keeper Jason Steele saves from Callum Connolly and launches the ball long.

    Marvin Emnes latches onto it with a great first touch and squeezes a curling effort inside at the near post.

    As it stands, Blackburn are moving out of the relegation zone.

  18. Goals in west Londonpublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2017

    Two goals to report in West London where Yeni N'Gbakoto has fired into the roof of the net to draw QPR level with Cardiff.

    Not far away at Craven Cottage, Chris Martin has slotted in from just inside the box to double Fulham's lead over Preston.

    Well, well, well.

    Substitute Zach Clough scores with what was his first touch. Striking from 20 yards out into the top corner.

    As it went into the net, Forest striker Britt Assombalonga was two yards off the line.

    Referee Oliver Langford had a very long talk with his assistant - and gives the goal!
