    Boro ahead at the Riverside!

    Marvin Johnson is the man claiming it for the hosts after it appears his free-kick from the right was swung in and didn't find any touch at all, but had the angle to creep in past Reading keeper Rafael.

    QPR 3-2 Luton

    QPR had looked vulnerable after seeing two-thirds of their lead cancelled out, but Jordan Hugill comes close to scoring in a fourth Championship game running.

    The masterful Eberechi Eze picks Hugill out but his shot goes just over Simon Sluga's bar.

    Yeah it's five.

    Carlton Morris grabs his second for Rotherham to make it a rout.

    And there are still 35 minutes to go at the New York Stadium. What a job Keith Hill has got on his hands.

    Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Millwall

    Chance early in the second half for Blackburn to extend their lead.

    Bartosz Bialkowski does well to save an Adam Armstrong effort as he broke through the defence one-on-one.

    As you were...

  5. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 1-1 Bristol Citypublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 14 September 2019

    Famara Diedhiou (55 mins)

    Stoke had been doing so well with 10 men but Bristol City have the breakthrough...

    A rampaging run and cross from City full-back Jack Hunt is met by Famara Diedhiou, who heads downwards past Jack Butland and in.

    Nathan Jones' side shouldn't panic, they've been well in this despite Joe Allen's sending off.

  6. Southend trailpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 14 September 2019

    League One latest

    Southend just can't stop conceding this season. They've just gone 3-2 down against Fleetwood at Roots Hall, the 20th goal they've shipped in six and a bit games.

    Is it going to be seven defeats in seven for the managerless Shrimpers?

    Elsewhere, Bolton are now 4-1 down at Rotherham - another five-goal thumping is on the cards I'm afraid.

    The goals are also flying in for Peterborough - Posh are 4-0 up against Rochdale.

    Swansea 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    Have leaders Swansea woken up after a below-par first half? Perhaps not.

    A loose passback from Bersant Celina is cut out and Freddie Woodman has to deny Jaoa Carvalho at his near post.

    Forest continuing where they left off in the first half.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:13 British Summer Time 14 September 2019

    Preston 1-0 Brentford

    There's no denying Brentford are knocking on the door here.

    Sergi Canos to Said Benrahma to Ollie Watkins, whose shot is saved by the legs of Preston stopper Declan Rudd.

    A great near-post stop.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Charlton Athletic 0-1 Birmingham Citypublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 14 September 2019

    Jude Bellingham (52 mins)

    What a moment this is!

    Not only have Birmingham taken the lead at in-form Charlton but the goal has come from a very special scorer.

    Jude Bellingham is making his full debut at just 16 years old and he has cooly slotted the ball past Dillon Phillips in the Charlton goal for the opener.

  10. CLOSE!published at 16:11 British Summer Time 14 September 2019

    Preston 1-0 Brentford

    He had a big chance in the first half and Bryan Mbeumo has almost levelled for Brentford with a lovely curling effort.

    It lands on the roof of the net from the corner of the box - it wasn't far over Declan Rudd's crossbar!

  11. Southend equalisepublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 14 September 2019

    League One latest

    Stephen Humphrys has put Southend on level terms against Fleetwood straight after half-time. 2-2 at Roots Hall.

    Can the managerless Shrimpers go on to earn their first point of the season?

  12. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 14 September 2019

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Reading

    Boro have the ball in the Reading net but it won't count.

    Britt Assombalonga was the man to tuck it home but he didn't quite time his run with the Reading offside trap.

  13. goal

    GOAL: QPR 3-2 Lutonpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 14 September 2019

    James Collins (48 mins)

    The Luton comeback is well and truly on!

    James Collins scored his first international goal for the Republic of Ireland in midweek and finds the net from close range after good work from Kazenga LuaLua and Harry Cornick.

    QPR suddenly on the ropes.

    May not have been much to report on the pitch at The Valley so far this afternoon on its 100th anniversary as Charlton's home.

    But at half-time the fans were treated to a gathering of Charlton legends - see how many you can spot!

  15. Cooper seeks improvementpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 14 September 2019

    Swansea 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    BBC Sport Wales at the Liberty Stadium

    Steve Cooper will be looking for much better from his Swansea side in the second half against Nottingham Forest.

    The visitors had the better of the first half at the Liberty, with the leaders fortunate not to be behind at the break.

    Then again, Swansea have led at half-time in only one of their five league victories so far this season.

    Can they improve once again and inflict Forest's first away defeat of the season, or will Sabri Lamouchi's team build on their impressive first-half display?

    Saturday's EFL action

    We're slowly getting back under way in most of our games across the EFL.

    The Championship's top two are being held, and could Stoke hang on for their first league win of the season?

    That - and more - to be answered in the next 45 minutes!

  17. As it stands...published at 15:59 British Summer Time 14 September 2019

    Swansea and Charlton are both being held 0-0 at the break, but remain top and second.

    QPR and Preston climb into the top six. That'll all change by full-time though.

    It's been a miserable start to the season for League Two's bottom club Scunthorpe. But the Iron surely can't lose today. They're 3-0 up at the break against Morecambe.

    Elsewhere, leaders Exeter are 1-1 with Leyton Orient, while it's the same scoreline for Mark Sampson's Stevenage against Carlisle.

    Cambridge United, Forest Green Rovers, Northampton, Oldham, Cheltenham and Swindon are all leading.

    Half-time in League One

    Struggling Southend and Bolton are still, well, struggling.

    The Shrimpers, six defeats out of six, were leading Fleetwood at Roots Hall, but they're now 2-1 behind at the break.

    Bolton, under new boss Keith Hill, also went in front at Rotherham but trail 3-1 at half-time.

    Elsewhere, Sunderland are 3-1 up at Accrington, while AFC Wimbledon, Oxford United and Peterborough are also leading.
