    GOAL: Reading 3-2 Wigan Athletic

    Yakou Meite (90+7 mins)

    Yakou MeiteRex Features

    SEVEN, yes seven minutes into added time - Reading have won it!

    Yakou Meite heads in a corner to give the Royals back-to-back league wins for the first time in 15 months.

  11. FULL-TIME

    Middlesbrough 1-2 Brentford

    Brentford win for just the second time on the road in the Championship this season.

    Two goals in the space of three minutes turned it around. An own goal from Ryan Shotton and then Said Benrahma's effort won it for the Bees.

  12. FULL-TIME

    Bristol City 0-1 Leeds

    Leeds go back up to second! It's another significant win for Marcelo Bielsa's men.

    It wasn't a thriller of a game, but they did enough to thwart a Bristol City side who now slip out of the Championship's top six, although the Robins have a game in hand.

  13. FULL-TIME

    Derby County 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday

    Finishes all square at Pride Park.

    Chances aplenty for both sides apart from the goals from Bradley Johnson and Dominic Iorfa.

  14. FULL-TIME

    Bolton 2-1 Millwall

    Bolton have survived a late Millwall surge and held on for a potentially-massive three points, after a wretched week off the field. They're still in the fight to stay up!

  15. FULL-TIME

    West Brom 1-1 Ipswich Town

    All over at the Hawthorns. A disappointing result for West Brom in their promotion push.

    Bottom-placed Ipswich almost stole all three points for a very rare win.

  16. FULL-TIME

    QPR 0-0 Stoke

    QPR v StokeRex Features

    It's a game that won't take too long to forget for QPR and Stoke fans.

    The visitors will be relatively pleased with their point after playing for more than 80 minutes with just 10 men.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Reading 2-2 Wigan Athletic

    Mo Barrow (89 mins)

    Late drama at the Madejski Stadium and Mo Barrow fires in an equaliser for Reading.

    Still time for some more goals with lots of injury time too.

  18. FULL-TIME

    Nottingham Forest 3-0 Hull

    After a boring first hour quite frankly, Forest show class to run away with this one eventually.

    It's a valuable win for the Reds, who are now eighth.

  19. Middlesbrough 1-2 Brentford

    Just the SEVEN minutes added time to play at the Riverside....

  20. goal

    GOAL: Bolton 2-1 Millwall

    Lee Gregory (87 mins)

    Can Millwall still salvage something from this? Lee Gregory diverts Jed Wallace's cross home to give the Bolton fans a nervy finish...
