    Brighton 2-1 Wigan

    Three minutes of added time for Wigan to find an equaliser and stop Brighton's promotion party.

    The Latics, still desperate for a point to help their survival hopes, aren't threatening at the moment.

  5. Red card for Hartlepoolpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 17 April 2017

    Leyton Orient 2-1 Hartlepool

    Hartlepool's Liam Donnelly has been sent off following a confrontation with the referee at Leyton Orient.

    He obviously wasn't happy with a decision, but he overstepped the mark with his protest and sees a red card.

    Brighton 2-1 Wigan

    Wigan are in the ascendancy.

    The visitors win a free-kick near the halfway line and launch it towards the Brighton box, but the Seagulls defence holds firm.

    They're into the final minute of regular time.

    Leyton Orient 2-1 Hartlepool

    Leyton Orient still lead 2-1 against Hartlepool and they will live to fight another day in League Two if they can hold on for five more minutes.

    Rhys Oates, who put Pools in front in the first half, has missed a golden chance to equalise from six yards. An escape for Orient.

  8. Powell pulls one back for Wiganpublished at 16:45 British Summer Time 17 April 2017

    Brighton 2-1 Wigan

    Where has this come from?

    With Wigan's first shot on target, substitute Nick Powell scores his fifth goal in three games to quieten the crowd at the Amex Stadium.

    This will be some test of Brighton's nerve.

    Fulham's play-off push continues as they have beaten Aston Villa 3-1 in the earlier kick off.

    Ipswich have got a second against Newcastle through David McGoldrick and Reading have come from behind to lead 2-1 against Rotherham, John Swift turns home at the back post.

    Leeds remain behind at home to Wolves, while Blackburn are pressing in their relegation game against Bristol City after finding an equaliser. 

  11. Lowe puts Pompey in frontpublished at 16:42 British Summer Time 17 April 2017

    Notts County 1-2 Portsmouth

    Substitute Jamal Lowe scores for Portsmouth with 13 minutes to play and, with Luton still level at Mansfield, Pompey are heading for automatic promotion from League Two once more.

    Brighton 2-0 Wigan

    Anthony Knockaert puts the ball in the net, but the flag is rightly raised for offside.

    Brighton have not taken their foot off the accelerator since going two goals up. What a performance this has been from the hosts.

  14. League One latestpublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 17 April 2017

    Mat Sadler's goal has given relegation-threatened Shrewsbury a boost as they're now drawing 1-1 at a Northampton side four points above them.

    Bristol Rovers take the lead against Oldham through Ellis Harrison, but the Latics' stay in the third tier should still be confirmed today with results as they stand as Swindon are drawing 0-0 at Walsall and Port Vale are 1-0 down at Oxford United.

    A second for Ivan Toney and that should be the nail in the coffin that sends Chesterfield back to League Two this afternoon.

    Scunthorpe 2-0 Chesterfield

    I'm sorry, Chesterfield fans, but there is not much happening from your team for getting one goal back, let alone the three you need to avoid relegation today.

    Brighton 2-0 Wigan

    Jakob Haugaard will want to forget about this game.

    The Wigan keeper spills Gaetan Bong's effort from distance, but a Latics defender gets there to clear the ball before Glenn Murray can tap in.

    There's just 15 minutes left of the 90.

  20. Championship latestpublished at 16:29 British Summer Time 17 April 2017

    Just as Brighton add a second, Newcastle level their game up at Ipswich through former Blues forward Daryl Murphy.

    Fulham's play-off push continues as Neeskens Kebano gets their third against 10-man Aston Villa, while Lewis Grabban's volley finally gets Reading their equaliser against Rotherham.

    Sam Gallagher gives Blackburn hope as his header makes it 1-1 against Bristol City while Aron Gunnarsson's strike puts Cardiff ahead against Nottingham Forest - it means Forest are just a point ahead of Rovers.
