  5. Postpublished at 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2017

    Well, well. An interesting set of results which sees Middlesbrough drop into the relegation zone, but wins for Leicester, Swansea and Crystal Palace means they break clear.

    Full reaction to come from all those games.

    Peter White: Paul Clement deserves a pet swan for the job he's done since coming in. Totally changed the team's mentality and determination.

    Joshua Byers Warner: It's going to be a very interesting game for Leicester against Sevilla! 

    Robert M Trains: The bottom 3 that are there now will be relegated.

    Nothing less than they deserve. Sigurdsson and Olsson have been outstanding. Llorente has been superb. A great ball and a superb header from Llorente.

    Swansea 3-2 Burnley

    The full-time whistle goes and there's a roar around the ground as Swansea pull off a hard-fought win. 

    It moves them out of the bottom three and Swans boss Paul Clement sets off on a lap of honour. What an impact he has had.

    Stoke 2-0 Middlesbrough

    All over and it is a routine win for Stoke.

    Meanwhile, Middlesbrough are in real trouble as they drop into the relegation zone for the first time.

    Is the escape on for Sam Allardyce? Victory at West Brom moves them three points clear of the relegation zone.

    No time for Watford to claim a point as Southampton grab all three points.

  12. Consolation for Watfordpublished at 16:53 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2017

    Watford 3-4 Southampton

    A seven goal thriller at Vicarage Road.

    M'Baye Niang puts a cross in at the back post, which Southampton fail to clear, and Abdoulaye Doucoure bundles in from all of two yards out.

    Is there time for an equaliser?

    Leicester 3-1 Hull

    Craig Shakespeare.

    Two games, two 3-1 wins.

    What an audition to get the Leicester manager's job on a full time basis.

    He gets a hug from Riyad Mahrez on the touchline, the players are applauded off the pitch. Finally, they are beginning to play like champions.

  15. Swans snatch it late on?published at 16:51 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2017

    Swansea 3-2 Burnley

    Late drama!

    Swansea look to have snatched this at the death as Tom Carroll picks out Fernando Llorente with a brilliant ball and the striker heads across the keeper and into the far corner.

    Swans boss Paul Clement sets off down the touchline to celebrate. This could be a huge win for the hosts.

  17. EFL updatepublished at 16:49 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2017

    Brighton trail Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the Championship, and with Newcastle playing in the late kick-off, they'll have wanted to put some pressure on the leaders. Not to be so far.

    In League One, leaders Sheffield United were pegged back to 2-2 by  Rochdale but Billy Sharp has put the visitors ahead with 20 minutes to play.

    Fleetwood Town are still 1-0 to the good at Scunthorpe United and that would be 18 league matches unbeaten for the away side if they hold on.

    Meanwhile in League Two, Leyton Orient are now thrashing bottom side Newport County 4-0 and Josh Koroma has completed his hat-trick.

    And  Luton Town are closing in on the top three. They're currently beating Yeovil Town 3-0.

    The only team at the bottom that is struggling for goals is Middlesbrough. They defend well but they can't score. I am worried for them.

    Stoke 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Victor Valdes keeps Middlesbrough's slim hopes of a miracle alive with a world class save, somehow denying Ramadan Sobhi from close range.

  20. OFF THE LINEpublished at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2017

    Swansea 1-1 Burnley

    Brilliant defending by Ben Mee and Matt Lowton as the two combine to clear Tom Carroll's low strike off the line.

    Into four minutes of timed added on at the end of 90 minutes.
