    Another chance for the Bees late on!

    Ollie Watkins is released in the box, gets to the byline and picks his pass.

    Neal Maupay takes a touch and fires straight at Orjan Nyland.

    No hat-trick for the Frenchman.

    We'll have five minutes of injury time.

    Will Buckley (73 mins)

    Not quite sure who has got this, but Bolton lead!

    We'll say Will Buckley has got the decisive touch but I'll need to see it again...

    Mike: Based on the first 4 games and assuming that Bruce remains in charge I should get used to life in the EFL from now on. Cannot see Villa getting promoted, just not enough cutting edge and poor tactics from the manager

    Hamza Darby: I'm sure every pundit on earth said Stoke's squad was a class above West Brom's and Swansea's. Questionable at the least.

    Sheff Wed 2-1 Millwall

    Owls midfielder Barry Bannan releases Fernando Forestieri in the area, but the angle is not kind to the Italian forward and his effort goes into the sidenetting.

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:31 British Summer Time 22 August 2018

    Aston Villa 1-2 Brentford

    Almost a third for the Bees!

    Ollie Watkins' cross is met by an unmarked Said Benrahma with a diving header.

    It is straight at Orjan Nyland, who saves on the goal line and somehow keeps the ball out,

    Villa boss Steve Bruce has brought on Conor Hourihane and Rushian Hepburn-Murphy in a bid to get back into it.

    That will surely do it for the hosts.

    Alexander Tettey thumps home a brilliant shot after a corner is only half-cleared.

    The Canaries on their way to their first league win of the season.

    Will that be the winner?

    Ollie Watkins cuts in from the left and stings the palms of Villa keeper Orjan Nyland but the ball goes up in the air.

    Alan Hutton has dropped back to the goal line, but Neal Maupay is on hand to acrobatically turn home from two yards out.

    The Frenchman's second of the game and his fifth of the season.

    Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford

    Ten minutes left at Villa Park.

    Both sides are extending their unbeaten starts and heading into the top four as things stand.

    A winner would put either side level with Leeds and Middlesbrough on 10 points.

  9. Postpublished at 21:25 British Summer Time 22 August 2018

    Bolton 0-0 Birmingham

    Bolton are really hanging on now.

    Blues striker Omar Bogle could have had a hat-trick tonight.

    The on-loan Cardiff man heads over a good chance from a Maxime Colin centre.

  10. CLOSE!published at 21:23 British Summer Time 22 August 2018

    Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford, Stoke 0-3 Wigan

    Chances at Villa Park and the Bet 365.

    Ollie Watkins sends a low shot across goal and wide of the Villa post while Wigan forward Nick Powell plants a header over the bar.

    Teemu Pukki (81 mins)

    Could this be the goal that gives Norwich their first league win of the season?

    Teemu Pukki slots a neat finish into the corner.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Sheff Wed 2-1 Millwallpublished at 21:21 British Summer Time 22 August 2018

    Ryan Tunnicliffe (72 mins)

    Out of nothing, the Lions have a goal back.

    Tom Lees' poor defensive header from a ball forward is siezed on by Lee Gregory.

    The striker is free in the area and has time to tun and pick out Ryan Tunnicliffe, who has run forward in support.

    The midfielder makes no mistake and sidefoots home.

    Plenty for time for Millwall to find an equaliser.

    MrCappy: I wonder what odds I can get on Stoke doing a Sunderland and dropping straight out the other end this season?

    Neal: Two games in League One tonight. Just the ten goals.

    And probably more to come Neal.

    GOAL: Blackburn 2-2 Readingpublished at 21:19 British Summer Time 22 August 2018

    Charlie Mulgrew (77 mins)

    All square at Ewood Park!

    Charlie Mulgrew is fouled in the area and gets up to convert his second penalty of the night.

    Can Blackburn complete the comeback?

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:17 British Summer Time 22 August 2018

    Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford

    Villa keeper Orjan Nyland gets down to his right to palm away a low drive from Nico Yennaris from the edge of the area.

    A good strong hand from the keeper there.

    What a goal this would have been for Callum Robinson!

    The Preston striker makes his way past three challenges and fires a firm shot against the crossbar. Unlucky.

    Will Grigg pen (57 mins)

    It has got worse for Stoke.

    Will Grigg doubles his tally from the penalty spot, smashing the ball into the net past the dive of Jack Butland.

    It's a long way back for the Potters now and it could be a long half hour for the home supporters.

    Gary Rowett's side heading for a fourth game without a win to start life back in the Championship.

    Bolton 0-0 Birmingham

    Can Birmingham find a goal tonight?

    They've been on top all night at Bolton but look set to be frustrated for a second successive game.

    Omar Bogle again forces a save from Bolton goalkeeper Ben Alnwick.

    Stoke 0-2 Wigan

    An opening for Stoke from a corner from the left.
