    There's been two goals in two minutes at Valley Parade.

    Lincoln v WycombeImage source, Rex Features

    Last year's National League champions Lincoln City are off and running with their first goal of the season at Wycombe.

    Forest Green have their first EFL goals courtesy of Christian Doidge at home to Barnet to put them 2-0 ahead.

    Luton's goal rush continues meanwhile at home against Yeovil. Isaac Vassell has scored a brace within three minutes to put them 5-1 ahead before the break and that was after they fell behind on seven minutes.

    Yeovil's misery is compounded just before half-time as Otis Khan has a penalty saved.

    They're back in business!

    Sheffield United have their first goal in the Championship since 30 April 2011 and it just had to be captain and Blades fan Billy Sharp.

    Fulham 1-0 Norwich

    It's fair to say Norwich defender Russell Martin did not know much about it as he gave Fulham the lead.

    The visitors will be hoping that's not a sign of the kind of luck they'll have this season.

    Oh lordy, what on earth is happening at Ashton Gate?

    Bobby Reid, playing as a makeshift striker after an impressive pre-season, has grabbed his second of the afternoon and Bristol City's third.

    A glut of early goals at Kenilworth Road on the opening day so far between Luton and Yeovil.

    It's the Hatters who lead 3-1 inside the opening 25 minutes after falling behind early on to Otis Khan.

    But, Luton have turned it around with strikes from Olly Lee, James Collins (above) and Alan McCormack.

    Famara Diedhiou

    Replacing last season's top goalscorer Tammy Abraham looked a tough task for Bristol City boss Lee Johnson - but has he found a little gem in Famara Diedhiou?

    The club splashed a record £5.3m on the Angers striker , but he's started repaying that sizeable fee already with a debut goal.

    Ipswich Town 0-0 Birmingham City

    No goals to speak of so far at Portman Road, but both keepers have had to be on their guard to keep it that way.

    Bartosz Bialkowski firstly saved a shot from Emilio Ensue for the visitors and then David Stockdale was smart to stop a deflected effort from Joe Garner for Ipswich inside the penalty area.

    Bristol City 0-0 Barnsley

    We're still waiting for a goal in the Championship this afternoon - but we've probably come closest to one at Ashton Gate.

    First Josh Brownhill struck the post for Bristol City, before George Moncur's effort cannoned against the crossbar for Barnsley.

    Still 0-0, just as it is in our other nine second-tier games.
