    Jay Rodriguez pen (63 mins)

    Put the champagne back on ice. Party's not starting yet Rovers fans...

    Jay Rodriguez, we'll call him J-Rod, tucks away from the penalty spot after Harvey Barnes is hauled down in the box. West Brom reduce arrears.

    Cold as ice. Now we've got a game.

    Wigan 0-3 Sheffield United

    A word for Billy Sharp, whose goal at Wigan makes him the leading EFL goalscorer since the turn of the century.

    The Sheffield United captain has those 220 goals in 496 games. The previous record holder, Rickie Lambert, needed more than 600 games to reach 219.

  3. goal

    GOAL: Hull 2-0 Boltonpublished at 16:21 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Evandro (62 mins)

    Hull double their lead.

    A low cross from Kamil Grosicki is controlled by Evandro inside the area.

    The Brazilian then superbly curls the ball into the far corner from 10 yards. A fine finish.

    GOAL: Ipswich 1-1 Millwallpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Shane Ferguson pen (60 mins)

    Millwall level things up from the spot at Portman Road after Luke Chambers fouls Tom Elliott.

    Shane Ferguson sends Dean Gerken the wrong way, sending his penalty into the right-hand side of the net.

    League One & Two latest

    Struggling Scunthorpe have doubled their lead at Peterborough, who could drop out of League One's top six today.

    League Two's bottom club Notts County are 2-0 down at managerless Oldham, while Yeovil have got a goal back early in the second half against Cheltenham and the Glovers now only trail 2-1.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Blackburn 2-0 West Brompublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Bradley Dack (57 mins)

    Cor blimey. West Brom are right under the pump now as Blackburn double their lead and look in total control, thanks to Bradley Dack.

    Adam Armstrong put the playmaker away and he showed pace, skill and composure to cut in side and thump the ball into the top corner of the Baggies net.

    Stunning from Dack. Cat among the pigeons... or should that be throstles?

  7. goal

    GOAL: Aston Villa 1-2 QPRpublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Eberechi Eze (57 mins)

    QPR turn it around with a counter-attack.

    Pawel Wszolek has the ball on the right and sends a low ball across goal.

    It is behind striker Nahki Wells but then Eberechi Eze is on hand to turn the ball in.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Nott'm Forest 1-1 Leedspublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Jack Clarke (52 mins)

    They might be down to 10 men but Leeds have certainly not let that stop them as substitute Jack Clarke buries a shot to put them level.

    It was a fine move to put the winger in on the right side of the box, and he fired his shot under Costel Pantilimon.

    Big leveller. Don't take your eyes off this one!

  9. goal

    GOAL: Derby 1-1 Middlesbroughpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Jordan Hugill (52 mins)

    Boro have their equaliser!

    Jordan Hugill is the man who gets it, heading powerfully into the bottom corner from George Friend's deep cross from the left.

    That's his fifth league goal since joining on loan from West Ham in August.

    Aston Villa 1-1 QPR

    Concern for QPR as goalkeeper Joe Lumley is down receiving treatment after a collision with Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia.

    He took a blow to the face from the striker's boot.

    Who ordered all of these goals at the start of the second half?!

  12. goal

    GOAL: Wigan 0-3 Sheffield Unitedpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Billy Sharp (54 mins)

    Shock - Billy Sharp has scored for Sheffield United.

    David McGoldrick picks out Sharp unmarked six yards out, and there was never going to be any other outcome than a third Blades goal.

    Wigan's worries continue.

  13. goal

    GOAL: Blackburn 1-0 West Brompublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Charlie Mulgrew (52 mins)

    Charlie Mulgrew, straight from a corner, has given Blackburn the lead against West Brom.

    It's no less than they deserved, as they've given the Baggies a really good game this afternoon.

    The former Celtic and Aberdeen man has a wicked boot on his from dead ball situations and he showed it there. Lovely.

  14. goal

    GOAL: Sheff Wed 1-1 Birminghampublished at 16:10 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Che Adams (48 mins)

    Equaliser for Birmingham early in the second-half, and it owed much to the persistence of Che Adams, who brushed aside the covering defenders and clipped a fine finish over Keiran Westwood in the Wednesday goal.

    Level pegging.

  15. goal

    GOAL: Reading 0-4 Swanseapublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Oli McBurnie pen (48 mins)

    Jose Gomes might be wondering whether the ink has dried on that Reading contract he signed, because his side are now FOUR-nil down at home to Swansea.

    Wayne Routledge was chopped down in the box, and with the penalty given, up stepped Oli McBurnie to score his second of the game.

    Swans swanning toward three points in convincing fashion.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Wigan 0-2 Sheffield Unitedpublished at 16:06 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    Mark Duffy (48 mins)

    Mark Duffy doubles Sheffield United's lead at Wigan, but a lot of the credit must go to captain Billy Sharp, who held the ball up brilliantly and waited for support from Duffy on a Blades counter-attack.

    A lovely finish.

    El Bearinho: If Aston Villa could keep a clean sheet we'd be dangerous. Pay whatever it takes to get Gary Cahill back.

    Alex Richards: It would be great if Derby County could get Emerson on loan from Chelsea. He could be the person to take us to the Premier League.

  18. Forest's festive failurespublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2019

    HT: Nottm Forest 1-0 Leeds

    The Christmas and New Year period hasn't been good to Forest in recent years...

    Not even Psycho himself, Stuart Pearce, was able to pick up three points during this part of the campaign, and none of his successors have bucked the trend either, including the current boss Aitor Karanka.

    The Spaniard looks like he might be on course to pick up a rare seasonal success with the Reds a goal up against Leeds at half-time, but he might also think back to the fate of Sean O'Driscoll who got the boot just hours after a 4-2 win - against the same opponents - on Boxing Day in 2012...
