  2. FULL-TIME

    Bolton 3-2 Nottingham Forest

    Bolton have done it. They are safe!

    What a dramatic turnaround at the death for Phil Parkinson's side with two goals in a minute.

    Unbelievable stuff.

    Burton were safe until Bolton's remarkable comeback. Now they're down.

  4. Cardiff 0-0 Reading

    Some Cardiff fans have spilled on to the pitch a little early, halting play. The whistle hasn't gone yet.

  5. Cardiff 0-0 Reading

    With 90 seconds of stoppage-time remaining Cardiff are moments away from a return to the top flight, and they know it. The flags are waving, the fans are bouncing.

  6. Preston 2-1 Burton

    Burton fans know of the Bolton score and the Preston fans are waving at them. They'd eased off it after getting wind of the Bolton result and thought they'd keep it simple - but now they need another. Bolton had lost six from seven before this - but as it stands, they're surviving.

    Preston have scored - and wow! Burton are going to go down after all that! The Burton players are lying face down with their heads in their hands.

    GOAL: Preston 2-1 Burton

    Louis Moult (90+3 mins)

    And now it well and truly looks like curtains for Burton.

    Nigel Clough's side threw them all forward in a bid to get the winner and left themselves exposed at the back.

    Louis Moult the man to take advantage for Preston on the break and break Burton hearts.

    table.

  8. Cardiff 0-0 Reading

    Birmingham's third goal is greeted with wild celebrations at Cardiff. They're heading back to the promised land.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Birmingham 3-1 Fulham

    Che Adams (88 mins)

    Cardiff are going up! Birmingham catch Fulham on the counter and Che Adams' finish from a tight angle seals victory for Birmingham, who are staying up.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Bolton 3-2 Nottingham Forest

    Aaron Wilbraham (88 mins)

    My word! This could be the biggest goal of the whole day!

    Two Bolton goals in just over a minute and the one that puts them ahead comes from Aaron WIlbraham's head.

    Beautiful stood up ball from Adam Le Fondre for the finish and Bolton are staying up now as it stands.

    table.

  11. CLOSE!

    Birmingham 2-1 Fulham

    It's nearly 2-2! David Stockdale produces a fine save to deny Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic. It's game on.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Bolton 2-2 Nottingham Forest

    David Wheater (87 mins)

    This time David Wheater does find the back of the net and Bolton are still in this!

    How are your nerves Burton fans?

    Bolton still need another goal as it stands.

  13. Bolton 1-2 Nottingham Forest

    Bolton still scrapping for everything despite falling behind.

    Great chance for David Wheater as heads narrowly wide from Craig Noone's corner.

    Trotters still fighting.

  14. goal

    GOAL: Birmingham 2-1 Fulham

    Tom Cairney (84 mins)

    Now then.

    Tom Cairney heads Fulham back in to the game at Birmingham.

    With Cardiff drawing, two more late Fulham goals would send the Londoners up. Is there time?

  15. Elsewhere...

    Championship final day

    Ipswich Town have taken the lead against Middlesbrough again after Shane McLoughlin was brought down inside the area and Martyn Waghorn did the business from the spot.

    Ipswich are under temporary management but they've managed to push Boro down to sixth position - meaning Tony Pulis' side will face Fulham in the play-offs, with the home leg first.

    Norwich City have also pulled one back against Sheffield Wednesday, Timm Klose sweeping home from inside the box.

  16. Cardiff shot cleared off the line

    Cardiff 0-0 Reading

    Kenneth Zohore almost seals it for Cardiff, but his shot is cleared off the line.

    But Cardiff are still Premier League-bound, with Fulham still 2-0 down at Birmingham.

  17. Preston 1-1 Burton

    Preston v BurtonGetty Images

    I'm seeing tiredness and real fatigue in this Burton side now. They went hammer and tongs in the first half and I think that's catching up with them. It's 25 degrees here - the mind is still strong but the body is weak here.

    Oh - but the Burton fans have just got word of Bolton's result! They're bare-chested and jumping around at the back of the stand singing 'We are staying up!'

    Forest fans will also be enjoying the fact that their goals are keeping Nigel Clough's side up.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Derby 4-1 Barnsley

    George Moncur (80 mins)

    Moments after coming off the bench, George Moncur pulls one back for Barnsley.

    But it matters little. For the Tykes to avoid the drop now, they need Burton to concede a goal at 10-man Preston.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Bolton 1-2 Nottingham Forest

    Jack Colback (78 mins)

    Looking bleak now for Bolton and pretty good for Burton.

    Jack Colback puts Forest ahead after they trailed just 11 minutes ago. Bolton look to be heading through the trap door.

  20. Elsewhere...

    Championship final day

    Bristol City need one more to equalise at home to Sheffield United. Joe Bryan has given Lee Johnson's side their second of the afternoon, curling a free kick around the wall and into the top corner after Bobby Reid was fouled.

    It was textbook stuff - again, though, both of these sides will wish they were fighting for a top six place today given their starts to the season.
