    Burton are back in front! It's an odd goal as it trickles in off Tom Naylor, who was closing down a clearance. Messy from Reading.

    Equaliser from the spot! The away end goes wild as Bobby Reid nets from the spot.

    Aden Flint had been brought down in the box.

    Thumping goal by Paul Huntington. Smashed in from the edge of the box to delight the home support.

    Level pegging.

    Sunderland 1-1 Birmingham City

    Chris Coleman makes three changes, with around 17 minutes to play at the Stadium of Light, chasing all three points against 10-man Birmingham.

    Last week's matchwinner, Josh Maja, is among those to come on, as today's Black Cats goalscorer, Lewis Grabban, goes off.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Bolton 1-0 Cardiffpublished at 16:33 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2017

    Gary Madine (pen, 76 mins)

    WHAT A SHOCK ON THE CARDS!

    David Wheater's goalbound header is handled in the box, Bolton get a spot-kick.

    Gary Madine steps up and nails the penalty. Huge goal for the Trotters. Cardiff behind, Wolves in front so the gap grows as it stands at the top.

    Sheyi Ojo (72 mins)

    Jonny Howson (71 mins)

    Jonny Howson - a Yorkshire lad no less - delivers a Christmas present to warm the heart of his manager Garry Monk with an equaliser for Middlesbrough against Sheffield Wednesday.

    Hit from distance and it nestles in the net past Joe Wildsmith. Level.

    Sunderland 1-1 Birmingham City

    Can Sunderland make their extra man advantage count?

    They're all over Birmingham at the moment, following Sam Gallagher's dismissal.

    Bolton 0-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff have a great chance to take the lead but the opportunity falls to Joe Ralls and then Sol Bamba, neither can turn it in. Where are the strikers!?

    Greg Halford can't make a clean connection from close range... Bolton wobbling but still standing for now!

  15. Postpublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2017

    Wolves 1-0 Ipswich

    Wolves goalscorer Ivan Cavaleiro is replaced by Bright Enobakhare midway through the second half.

    It's not been the best game at Molineux, but Wolves simply can't stop winning.

    Victory today would be their eighth in nine league games.

    20 or so minutes left.

    Wigan are 6-0 up now at Oxford. Yes, SIX.

    There's still half an hour to go...

    Derby 3-0 Millwall

    Champagne stuff from Derby who are cutting Millwall to ribbons with some incisive play.

    Andreas Wiemann the latest to be denied, as the visitors somehow clear off the line. David Nugent then heads wide.

    Millwall respond by making their three allotted changes in one fell swoop.

    PenguinsImage source, Rex Features

    These creatures have come a long way to get to Craven Cottage...

    They're watching the hosts lead 1-0 and have seen a super goal from Floyd Ayite. It's going swimmingly for Fulham so far.

    Bolton 0-0 Cardiff

    Darren Pratley scythes down Loic Demour. 2-1 in terms of rash tackles in that one-on-one match-up. Bolton midfielder Pratley is on a yellow, as is Demour.

    Craig Noone comes on, facing Cardiff the club he left to join the Trotters. Still no goals.
