    Fulham 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    The surprising thing to note among all those first-half goals in the Championship was that the division's current hot-scorers Fulham didn't get one.

    There's been no shortage of effort from Slavisa Jokanovich's side but so far Forest have been equal to what they've had to offer.

    It looks like we're going to carry on from where we left off.

    Some games haven't even got back under way yet and already Queens Park Rangers have scored a second-half goal, with Josh Scowen curling an absolute beauty to put Barnsley behind.

    Right - we're back up and running already for the second halves.

    We had four first-half red cards across our 10 Championship games - any more to follow in the second period?

    In League One, leaders Wigan are 2-0 up against Gillingham thanks to goals from Will Grigg and Nick Powell, the latter of which turned down a move to Premier League side Brighton on deadline day. What a week he's having!

    At the other end of the table, bottom side Bury are playing out a goalless stalemate so far against Blackpool while Oldham are 1-0 up against Bradford City.

    Meanwhile in League Two, top-of-the-table Luton are a goal up against Exeter, Notts County have come from 1-0 down to lead Crewe 2-1, Wycombe are two goals to the good versus Carlisle, while struggling Barnet are losing 1-0 against Mansfield Town.

    What is going on at Hillsborough?!

    Sheffield Wednesday are 3-0 down at home to Birmingham, who further extend their lead through Jota's second goal of the game.

    Half-time boos from the Owls fans? You betchya.

  9. goal

    Leeds United 0-3 Cardiff Citypublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2018

    Sean Morrison (45+5 mins)

    And the first half gets even worse if you're a Leeds fan....

    From the resulting free-kick by Junior Hoilett, Sean Morrison heads home in the area right on the stroke of half-time.

    Will some home fans call it quits there and beat the traffic?

  10. RED CARD FOR LEEDSpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2018

    Leeds United 0-2 Cardiff City

    Leeds United do plenty of red cards these days....

    Gaetano Berardi is the third man in as many games to be sent off for them as he is shown a second yellow card for a foul on Gary Madine.

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2018

    A flurry of goals just before the half-time whistles could be blown.

    No shortage of goals or incidents in that opening 45 minutes. We'll bring you the half-time headlines shortly.

    Alan Browne (pen, 45 mins)

    Alan Browne fires home from the spot for Preston after Billy Bodin was brought down inside the box.

    Advantage to Alex Neil's side at the break!

  13. goal

    Sunderland 0-2 Ipswich Townpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2018

    Adam Matthews OG (45+1 mins)

    Oh dear. Not what Sunderland would have wanted just before the break.

    An attack down the wing from Ipswich looks threatening with Freddie Sears' cross but Adam Matthews unfortunately diverts it into his own net and now the Black Cats have a mountain to climb.

    Tom Trybull (44 mins)

    What a goal!

  16. Swindon turn it aroundpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2018

    Lincoln City 1-2 Swindon Town, Luton 1-0 Exeter

    Bit of a manic first half in Lincoln.

    The Imps had been 1-0 up against 10-man Swindon but the visitors have rallied, scoring twice in two minutes though Marc Richards and then Ollie Banks.

    At the top of the table, Luton are 1-0 up against Exeter City courtesy of Harry Cornick.

  17. goal

    Leeds United 0-2 Cardiff Citypublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2018

    Junior Hoilett (41 mins)

    Cardiff are doing a fantastic job so far at Elland Road as they bid to keep pace with the automatic promotion places.

    Junior Hoilett doubles their lead just before the break and new man Gary Madine is heavily involved in the build-up.

    Lays the ball across the goal for Hoilett to arrive at the back post unmarked and double the advantage.

    Everything's going wrong for Sheffield Wednesday, who are now down to 10 men after Marco Matias is sent off for an incident off the ball.

    Three first-half red cards in the Championship!

    Wycombe 2-0 Carlisle, Wigan 2-0 Gillingham

    What a period in the game this has been for Wycombe Wanderers. Firstly, Matt Bloomfield broke the deadlock to send them 1-0 up against Carlisle United.

    Then two minutes later, Luke O'Nien doubles their advantage. Could this be five League Two victories in a row for Wycombe?

    In League One, on the other hand, leaders Wigan have doubled their advantage thanks to Nick Powell.
