    Bristol City 1-0 Reading

    Yann Kermorgant almost strikes again (see 16:33 GMT post).

    Fellow Reading sub Garath McCleary crosses towards him and the striker just has the ball nicked away from his head.

    Bristol City must be wary of him.

    Luton are making a statement this afternoon, scoring four goals since half-time to lead 4-0 at Swindon.

    Elsewhere, Yeovil look set to move further clear of the danger area as Omar Sowunmi has scored a cracker from the edge of the box to put the Glovers one goal to the good at Cheltenham.

    Birmingham 0-2 Norwich

    Struggling Birmingham fall further behind at home against Norwich. Josh Murphy rounds the goalkeeper to make it 2-0, and Steve Cotterill's Blues will be staying bottom of the Championship.

    Bristol City 1-0 Reading

    Eyebrows must have been raised when Reading left Yann Kermorgant on the bench - after all, he'd scored four goals in two league starts against Bristol City.

    The veteran is on now though and looking to ruin the Robins' ongoing festive party.

    Burton 1-2 Leeds

    Burton aren't done yet by any means, as shown by Jamie Allen's volley.

    Felix Wiedwald saves relatively comfortably in the Leeds goal but it's a reminder that the visitors have not got the points sealed.

  6. Fleetwood ending poor run of formpublished at 16:32 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2017

    It's been a long while since Fleetwood last tasted victory in League One, almost two whole months in fact.

    That wait is coming to an end though, as they have scored two second-half goals to lead 2-0 at Oldham.

    Meanwhile, Jack Marriott has fired Peterborough into a 3-0 lead against fellow promotion hopefuls Bradford City at Valley Parade.

    A touch of class from Jamie Paterson in an otherwise unspectacular match.

    Firstly it's a free-flowing move from the Robins and Paterson caresses the ball in the top corner to send Ashton Gate into raptures.

    City will be going second in the Championship if it stays like this!

    Cardiff 1-2 Fulham

    There's a feeling that more goals are still to come in Wales.

    The hosts are in the ascendancy and Bruno Ecuele Manga looks shocked as his header is stopped by Marcus Bettinelli.

    You can't keep Britt Assombalonga quiet for too long.

    The Middlesbrough striker gets his first goal in six games, collecting Martin Braithwaite's header before cutting past Bolton defender David Wheater and beating keeper Ben Alnwick with a firmly-struck shot.

    Lucas Joao (65 mins)

    That will just about do it for Sheffield Wednesday.

    Nottingham Forest will feel a little aggrieved about the scoreline as Lucas Joao cuts inside before firing a powerful finish into the back of the net.

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Bolton

    There has not been too much sign of a response from Bolton after falling behind against Middlesbrough.

    Tony Pulis must be feeling pretty pleased with his new job so far.

    Kemar Roofe (64 mins)

    Football can be a very simple game.

    One defence-splitting ball through the middle from Ronaldo Vieira and Kemar Roofe provides a slick finish into the far corner to turn this game on its head.

    Leeds lead while Burton will wonder where it all went wrong.

    Hull 0-0 Derby

    Amid all the goals elsewhere, the keepers are having the best of it in this one.

    Scott Carson shows why he was an England international - staying big and thwarting Kamil Grosicki, who unsuccessfully attempts to lob Hull ahead.

    Nottingham Forest 0-2 Sheffield Wednesday

    Sheffield Wednesday can be happy with their two-goal lead at Nottingham Forest, but the injuries are starting to add up at the City Ground.

    Gary Hooper was taken off in the first half, while Joost van Aken has just been replaced after picking up a knock.

    A brilliant, brilliant free-kick by Pablo Hernandez brings Leeds level at Burton.

    Meanwhile, George Baldock has headed in to put Sheffield United 3-0 up against Sunderland.

    But wait a minute!

    A matter of seconds after falling 2-0 down Kenneth Zohore pulls one back for Cardiff in some style.

    He unleashes a deadly half-volley from outside the area and there's no stopping that.

    Hull 0-0 Derby

    Breathe a sigh of relief, Hull fans.

    Bradley Johnson, who has had a hand in five goals in his past two regular-season games against Hull, has gone off injured for Derby.

    That includes his two goals in Derby 5-0 thrashing earlier this season.

  20. Hylton on target for Hatterspublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2017

    League Two latest

    Danny Hylton is unstoppable.

    The Luton striker has scored twice in the second half at Swindon to take his personal tally to 15 goals in the league this season.

    Luton will remain four points clear at the top of League Two as things stand.
