Barnsley 1-2 Burton
So close to the equaliser!
Daniel Pinillos is inches away from doubling his tally for the night, his shot curling agonisingly wide of the Burton goal.

Time for some late drama?

Sammy Ameobi has just had a shot that has gone narrowly wide of the Sunderland goal.

Ian Tomlinson: Sunderland are just completely haunted from past mistakes. Absolute travesty to see us here we are.

GOAL: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Readingpublished at 21:31 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2018
Lee Tomlin (85 mins)
The long wait for a Nottingham Forest goal is over!
The Reds have their first Championship goal since 20 January, Lee Tomlin slotting past Vito Mannone from inside the box.
Can Aitor Karanka's side steal victory from the jaws of defeat in the final five minutes or so of this game?

Aston Villa 1-1 Preston
It could go either way at Villa Park.
Preston's Paul Huntington plants another header straight into the arms of Aston Villa goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who has been peppered with shots tonight.
Villa are seeing ever more of the ball though, and Scott Hogan works himself half a chance, heading Birkir Bjarnason's cross wide of goal.
GOAL: Brentford 5-0 Birminghampublished at 21:28 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2018
Ollie Watkins (81 mins)
It's 5 for Brentford!
Ollie Watkins, without a goal in 12 games before this evening, gets his second of the night.
The winger finds Florian Jozefzoon on the right of the area and the Dutchman send the ball back in for an unmarked Watkins to send home with a stooping header from six yards out.
It's been a poor evening for the Blues.

Bolton 1-0 Sunderland
The Black Cats are still pushing at the Macron Stadium.
Aiden McGeady has sent a free-kick into the Bolton wall from the edge of the area.
Can Chris Coleman's men find a breakthrough?

Millwall 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday come close to an equaliser.
George Boyd stabs the ball across goal but Jack Stobbs sends his volley wide.
There will be a fair chunk of time added on at The Den because of that injury to Jordan Thorniley earlier.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Reading
It's looking increasingly like Nottingham Forest's month-long wait for a Championship goal will continue.
The Reds have had twice as many shots as Reading, but they still trail to Omar Richards' first-half goal.
Jaap Stam's Royals aren't exactly parking the bus though, with the game a little more stretched than the Dutchman would probably like it to be as they enter the closing stages.

Middlesbrough 3-1 Hull
Victory for Middlesbrough here will put them two points off the play-offs.
Hull need a couple of goals in 10 minutes to salvage something. Unlikely.

Sheffield United 2-1 QPR
10 or so minutes to go at Bramall Lane.
Sheffield United would be back up to seventh if they hold on and a point behind Bristol City.

Brentford 4-0 Birmingham
Brentford come close to a fifth, but David Stockdale palms an effort from Ollie Watkins away before Cohen Bramall puts the rebound away for a corner.
Yoann Barbet then has two efforts blocked before Alan Judge fires over from 15 yards.
GOAL: Barnsley 1-2 Burtonpublished at 21:21 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2018
Daniel Pinillos (75 mins)
It's no more than Barnsley deserve for a much-improved showing in the second half.
Daniel Pinillos bags his first goal since signing from Cordoba in January, his shot taking a deflection off a Burton defender and nestling into the corner.
The Brewers have 15 minutes left to cling on to their slender lead.

Millwall 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Owls winger Adam Reach bursts into the box and goes down... but gets shown a yellow card for simulation.

Barnsley 0-2 Burton
Barnsley will be kicking themselves if they don't rescue at least a point tonight.
Matt Mills squanders yet another huge chance for the hosts, heading over from two yards out after Oli McBurnie had nodded the ball onto the bar.
The Tykes were awful in the first half, but they have had more than enough opportunities since the break.

Millwall 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Play has been halted at The Den for a few minutes as Owls defender Jordan Thorniley gets some treatment for an injury picked up in the build-up to Millwall's goal.
He is eventually stretchered off and replaced by Lucas Joao.

Bolton 1-0 Sunderland
Bolton forward Aaron Wilbraham has claims for a penalty waved away after he went down in the box.
