    Is that the goal that seals Rotherham United's fate?

    It's an untidy one, but Fulham lead through Sone Aluko's scrambled effort from close range.

    As things stand, the Cottagers are heading into the play-off positions and Rotherham are heading for League One.

    Bristol City, desperately trying to get back into their game at Griffin Park, almost get one back but Tammy Abraham heads onto the post from a Joe Bryan cross. That's unlucky.

    Carlisle's automatic promotion hopes have been ruined by a run of six defeats in seven matches.

    The wretched run of form had even seen them drop out of the play-off places but their fans look like they'll have something to celebrate tonight.

    Reggie Lambe has put Keith Curle's men 2-0 up at Yeovil. moments after the hosts had Ben Whitfield sent off for an alleged elbow.

    Elsewhere, Cheltenham are now 3-0 up against 10-man Morecambe.

    The leaders Newcastle are back in front! Wigan weren't level for long, and have been made to pay for that miss from Dan Burn a moment ago.

    Matt Ritchie nods in after his own initial shot rebounds off the woodwork

    Rotherham 0-0 Fulham

    Oh my, Fulham should be ahead. Chris Martin is the guilty party, failing to connect with the goal at his mercy after good work from Tom Cairney...

    Chris MartinImage source, Rex Features

    ... Remarkably, from the very next passage of play the Millers should have the opening goal themselves, but a scramble in the area is cleared off the line.

    End-to-end stuff in a game that neither team can afford not to win.

    Preston 1-1 Nottingham Forest

    Struggling Nottingham Forest are pegged back at Deepdale as Aiden McGeady draws the hosts Preston level.

    New Forest boss Mark Warburton is bidding for his first win in charge of the Reds, after a dramatic draw in his first game at home to local rivals Derby.

  9. CLOSE!published at 16:13 British Summer Time 1 April 2017

    Newcastle 1-1 Wigan

    Wigan, who have never won at St James' Park, should be ahead!

    It is a free header for defender Dan Burn, six yards out.

    But he glances over. How costly could that miss be?

    Gary Johnson: Cheltenham Town boss 'overwhelmed' by support since heart surgery

    Looking like a great story in League Two where Cheltenham now lead 2-0 against 10-man Morecambe after Alex Kenyon was sent off for a foul in the area and Daniel Wright scored from the penalty spot.

    The Robins are being watched by manager Gary Johnson for the first time since he underwent heart surgery.

    Their record while he was away? Played four, lost four.

    Well, well, well. 23rd-placed Wigan are level at leaders Newcastle.

    Michael Jacobs dinks the Latics back on terms. That wasn't in the Magpies' script.
