    With just a minute remaining of normal time, Sheffield United are getting ready to celebrate a vital and impressive win, ahead of Leeds' game at Brentford this evening.

  3. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:46 British Summer Time 22 April 2019

    Reading 0-0 West Brom

    Sam Johnstone is earning his money today.

    Lewis Baker's free-kick seems destined for the top-corner but the former Villa man tips it over.

    Stoke 2-2 Norwich

    Norwich nearly take the lead for a third time as Jamal Lewis combines well with Mario Vrancic, but Lewis' low shot goes just wide across the face of goal.

    If Norwich don't win, they can't be promoted today, regardless of how Leeds do later on at Brentford.

    Full text commentary of that to come at 17:15 BST.

    Sheff Wed 2-0 Bristol City

    Cameron Dawson produces back-to-back saves to deny Bristol City's Famara Diedhiou and Josh Brownhill from close range, but both chances should have seen goals.

    The visitors are having a go, but are they leaving it too late?

    GOAL: Nott'm Forest 3-0 Middlesbroughpublished at 16:43 British Summer Time 22 April 2019

    Joe Lolley (85 mins)

    It's been coming.

    A great individual run from Joao Carvalho sets up Joe Lolley who calmly finds the back of the net.

    Surely it's all over now.

  7. CLOSE!published at 16:42 British Summer Time 22 April 2019

    Wigan 2-0 Preston

    Wigan's goalscorers nearly combine for a third as Lee Evans cross narrowly misses Leon Clarke sliding in at the back post.

    Clarke then goes close again, hitting the side-netting after a pull back from Antonee Robinson.

    Derby 0-0 QPR

    Into the final 10 minutes now, and Derby still can't find a way through against QPR.

    Reading 0-0 West Brom

    Danny Namaso is played through by Andy Yiadom but the Royals man can only tamely head an effort into the gloves of Sam Johnstone.

    Stoke 2-2 Norwich

    Stoke are still on top, in this quite brilliant game.

    The way the second half has gone, I suspect many Norwich fans would gladly take a point from here.

    Nott'm Forest 2-0 Middlesbrough

    How is it not 3-0 yet?!

    This time Joao Carvalho curls an effort towards the top corner and it bounces out off the inside of the post.

    League Two latest

    Yeovil have conceded at home to 10-man Colchester and are now level at 1-1. The Glovers are back into the bottom two and Macclesfield are two points above the drop zone as it stands.

    All of the bottom three clubs are drawing.

    Sheff Wed 2-0 Bristol City

    Unless they can pull off a dramatic late turnaround, Bristol City's top-six hopes are going to be dented today, as they still trail Sheffield Wednesday by a couple of goals, with 15 minutes to go.

    With Middlesbrough also losing in sixth place, Robins fans will see this as a missed opportunity.

    Not much more to report at the top of League One - Sunderland are still goalless at Peterborough and Barnsley, who lead Plymouth 3-0, are heading back to second spot.

    Charlton are hammering Scunthorpe, who are in deep relegation trouble now.

    In League Two, Mansfield have back to 3-2 behind at Oldham.

    Derby 0-0 QPR

    The Rams are still searching for the breakthrough and they almost find it at last... But Mason Mount's clipped effort is tipped on to the post by Joe Lumley.

    Reading 0-0 West Brom

    That would've been special!

    Reading's Lewis Baker sees Sam Johnstone off his line and takes a shot from the halfway line.

    It's very close and narrowly sails over.

    Simon Atkins: Good to see us (Birmingham) winning. Keeps us up, despite a rocky season off the pitch, and a nine-point deduction, we survive and next year can push onward and, hopefully, upward!

    A big goal for Bury! While their promotion rivals falter, the Shakers go in front against Northampton with a goal from their talisman Danny Mayor.

    They'll finish today in the top three as things stand.

    GOAL: Stoke 2-2 Norwichpublished at 16:29 British Summer Time 22 April 2019

    Thomas Edwards (69 mins)

    It's game on again. Norwich led for just a couple of minutes.

    Thomas Edwards drills in a cracking low strike from the right and finds the far corner. Stoke are deservedly level.
