    Well, that was about as dramatic a conclusion to the final bit of EFL action in 2018 as we could have asked for.

    How many people would have predicted defeats for the Championship's top two at the start of today?

    We'll be back with more of this next year...

    So we'll see you all on Tuesday then!

    Thanks for your company today and indeed in 2018.

    At the end of another crazy day in the Championship, here's how it looks at the top.

    Leeds and Norwich, remarkably, both ended up losing at home, while West Brom also dropped points against Sheffield Wednesday - albeit they did score a last-minute equaliser with 10 men.

    Sheffield United, Middlesbrough and Derby all won.

    Look away now, Ipswich Town fans. Your side end 2018 bottom of the Championship - although you already knew that'd be the case before the start of play, of course.

    Millwall were the big winners among the bottom six, beating Nottingham Forest to pull three points clear of danger.

    FT: Norwich 3-4 Derby

    James Ballantyne: Surely the cardiac doctors in East Anglia are on overtime.

    Aleksander Pagels: That's 29 goals in the last 5 games at Carrow Road. Almost 6 goals per game. Madness

    Again, just ridiculous. Norwich City's season ticket holders are probably just about getting value for money, I'd say.

    Norwich 3-4 Derby

    Run of the mill, mundane, quiet win for the visitors...

    I said about eight minutes in that this could be a cracker but I did not envisage this remotely.

    The hosts raced into a 2-0 lead only to be pegged back by half-time.

    Teemu Pukki looked to have scored the winner when he made it 3-2 with nine minute to go before the floodlights went out ant the players were taken off the pitch for 15 minutes.

    When they were brought back on the Rams scored twice in the delayed final few minutes to snatch an incredible win.

    Oh, and home striker Jordan Rhodes hit the bar with the last kick of the game. Amazing.

    Still waiting for play to resume at Carrow Road after a section of the floodlights went out.

    What an end to 2018 in the EFL!

    Ryan Tunnicliffe's overhead kick early on is the difference between the two sides.

    Aitor Karanka's Forest are now winless in their last five.
