    West Brom 2-0 Swansea

    Everything points to this being West Bromwich Albion’s first home league win since Boxing Day.

    Noticeably, in this first game since Saturday night’s sacking of club legend Darren Moore as head coach, there has been no discernible show of support for him - or public protest at the board’s decision.

    But then Albion have had all the lucky breaks going tonight.

    They’ve led a charmed life in front of goal, thanks to a combination of keeper Sam Johnstone and the Swans’ poor finishing. And culprit in chief . . . Bersant Celina, and his entry for the worst missed penalty of all time!

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    Frank Lampard has had plenty of attacking weapons at his disposal tonight, but no combination of them so far has been unable to unlock this Stoke defence.

    At times, the Potters have been stretched as thin as a Sicilian pizza dough, but Jack Butland has always been there to hold the fort.

    Time ticking down, 87 mins on the clock...

    Aston Villa heading for a third win in a row here and doing a very good job of closing the game out.

    Off goes skipper Jack Grealish for the last few minutes on what's been another lively evening for him.

    Three minutes plus change to play.

    GOAL: Norwich 3-2 Hullpublished at 21:31 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Chris Martin (85 mins)

    Norwich were coasting but not anymore! Old boy Chris Martin is left all alone in the box to powerfully head home a pinpoint left-wing cross from Hull winger Kamil Grosicki.

    And from a theatre of noise you could hear a pin drop inside Carrow Road.

    A nervous end for the Championship leaders elect.

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    It's open, frenetic and frantic and at the moment neither Derby nor Stoke look comfortable.

    Loose play gave Harry Wilson a free run at goal but his shot clipped a Stoke leg and bounced kindly through to Jack Butland.

    Debutant Jayden Lawson gets a run-out for the Rams, with Tom Lawrence making way. Meanwhile, Ryan Woods off for Stoke and Darren Fletcher on.

    West Brom 2-0 Swansea

    Not much going on at the Hawthorns, but Swansea are doing their best to find a way back into the game as Nathan Dyer and Connor Roberts have both had optimistic shots.

    This one started at 20:00 GMT so there's a while left yet.

    And QPR are level now.

    Bright Osayi-Samuel slots home from inside the Rotherham area after picking out a cross from the left from Nahki Wells.

    Heartbreak for Rotherham but is there still time for another goal?

  8. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:27 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Norwich 3-1 Hull

    Hmmm, lucky, lucky Norwich. Some less than impressive dilly dally defending allows Hull midfielder Marc Pugh to squeeze between a couple of defenders.

    Christoph Zimmermann definitely doesn't get the ball - for me that is a spot-kick and possibly a red card as well.

    What's that saying, you make your own luck?

    QPR 0-1 Rotherham

    WellsImage source, Rex Features

    Into last 10 minutes at Loftus Road.

    QPR should've been level after Nahki Wells got in on goal one-on-one.

    Marek Rodak rushes out to close down and Wells' effort skims the outside of the post and goes behind.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-2 Prestonpublished at 21:26 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Jayden Stockley (80 mins)

    Who saw that coming?

    Middlesbrough looked cool, calm and composed before Daniel Ayala was sent off but goals from Paul Gallagher and now Jayden Stockley have flipped this game on its head.

    Ball went into the Boro box after a measured build up... Stockley nodded it in, looked along the line to see if he was onside after the home defence pushed up and saw it had been given.

    The Riverside is stunned. What a result this could be...

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Preston

    Jordan Hugill comes on for Middlesbrough, against the club he scored 30 goals in 114 games for.

    Is there a twist in this to come?

  12. Postpublished at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Nottingham Forest 1-3 Aston Villa

    A substitution at the City Ground....of an assistant referee.

    Andy Woolmer the fourth official has had to strip off his tracksuit to take his place on the nearside touchline.

    Not too sure what injury caused the three-minute delay there! Just over 10 minutes (plus stoppages) left.

  13. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:23 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    Stoke City winger James McClean, not renowned for his aerial prowess, leaves the woodwork wobbling with a header that thumps away to safety.

    Tom Edwards put in a lovely ball, and Kelle Roos was static.

    That could have really set the home crowd off...

  14. CLOSE!published at 21:20 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Birmingham 0-2 Millwall

    Blues are going to struggle to get a better chance than this.

    Jacques Maghoma puts a brilliant cross in from the left, the type Lucas Jutkiewicz absolutely gobbles up.

    He did - but his header is just wide of the post.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:18 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Norwich 3-1 Hull

    Hull have taken off Jarrod Bowen, their 19-goal top scorer.

    Norwich have totally shut him out of this contest with the only time I can remember seeing his face in those early stages when he hit a free-kick against the post?

    Is it just me or does he look like Watford and one-time Barca winger Gerard Deulofeu?

    No? Just me then.

  16. Postpublished at 21:18 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Preston

    Middlesbrough's frustrations evident as a spell of possession around the Preston box ends up with a speculative pot-shot from Lewis Wing that rises up and over.

    The next attack sees Mo Besic try to thread the eye of the needle - the very opposite approach - but still Preston hold out...

    Boro fans growing a little restless.

  17. Postpublished at 21:16 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    Getting a bit lively should I say, as Ashley Williams clatters into Derby's Harry Wilson with a forearm smash and leaves him on the deck.

    The winger looks non-plussed, Williams gets a booking. The free-kick is whipped like double cream but sails out - overhit - for a goal-kick.

    Jack Marriott comes on for Derby, as the hard-working Martyn Waghorn is sacrificed.

    GOAL: QPR 0-1 Rotherhampublished at 21:15 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Semi Ajayi (71 mins)

    Well now....

    This could be a very interesting goal at the bottom end of the table on several levels.

    Rotherham lead 1-0 at Loftus Road through Semi Ajayi and if it stays this way, it would be the Millers' first away win of the season.

    A cracking low drive from Ajayi from just outside the penalty box breaks the deadlock.

    It would also take them level on points with both Reading and Wigan on 36 but leave them inside the relegation zone on goal difference.

  19. goal

    GOAL: West Brom 2-0 Swanseapublished at 21:13 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2019

    Mason Holgate (53 mins)

    HolgateImage source, Rex Features

    Chris Brunt - scorer of the opening goal - this time turns provider as his corner isn't dealt with by the Swansea defence, and West Brom's on-loan Everton defender Mason Holgate heads in from close range.

    Albion's last home win in the league was Boxing Day and they have no manager, by the way.

    Norwich 3-1 Hull

    As you were.

    It really is normal service resumed at Carrow Road after that shock Hull goal gave us a brief contest in the early stages of the second half.

    Norwich are pouring forward in search of the fourth to absolutely kill this game.
