    Six goals at Preston in their game at Bristol City, where the points were shared.

    How about Sunderland not drawing 1-1 (just kidding Wearsiders...) or Exeter being undone at Grimsby?

    A superb game ends with the points shared, as Preston twice come from behind to deny Bristol City a first win in 13 meetings between the sides.

  8. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Huddersfield 1-1 Millwall

    Huddersfield have to settle for a point and their winless run goes on to 19 league games after this draw with fellow strugglers Millwall.

    There were positives, but the fact is they need to start winning although they're off the bottom on goal difference. Millwall are up to 17th.

  9. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Middlesbrough 1-4 Sheff Wed

    Happy return to the Riverside for ex-Boro boss Garry Monk who sees his Sheffield Wednesday side thrash his former employers 4-1.

    After Adam Clayton's own goal got the ball rolling, Dominic Iorfa, Adam Reach and Steven Fletcher put the result beyond doubt, despite a Paddy McNair goal for the Teessiders.

    Pressure on Jonathan Woodgate now? The hometown boss is struggling to get results right now, and this was a home humbling.

  10. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Blackburn 1-2 Luton

    A superb win for Luton Town, who end their two-game winless run with victory at Blackburn Rovers.

  11. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Charlton 1-0 Leeds

    High-fliers Leeds lose away from home for the first time this season thanks to a massive goal from Macauley Bonne - who extends Charlton's remarkable run of home form.

    Lee Bowyer's side defended manfully, with goalkeeper Dillon Phillips inspired to keep out the visitors' dangerous strikeforce.

    No top of the table place for Leeds tonight, missed opportunity.

  12. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Hull 2-2 Cardiff

    All over at the KCOM and is that a point gained or two points lost for Hull against Cardiff after those late goals?

    Hull pressure for a dramatic late winner through George Honeyman but it's cleared off the line by Aden Flint.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:55 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Charlton 1-0 Leeds

    Dillon Phillips is earning his win bonus. Massive save to keep Leeds out in added time.

    Is that enough for the three points?

  14. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Swansea 1-1 Reading

    Andy Yiadom rescues a point for struggling Reading late on, who despite their winless run stretching to five games, at least avoid defeat.

    Swansea thought they'd won in before Yiadom's late contribution, after a first-half goal from Borja Baston had lifted the Liberty.

    Points shared, and the Swans miss the chance to go to the top of the table.

  15. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Derby 3-2 Birmingham

    Jamie PatersonImage source, Rex Features

    After a horrible week off the field, Derby end it with three key points on it thanks to Jamie Paterson's late goal. It's only their second win of the season.

    Birmingham had done brilliantly to fight back in the game after Chris Martin and Martyn Waghorn had put the Rams in front, thanks to goals from Gary Gardner and Ivan Sunjic.

    Paterson wins it for Derby though, with Lukas Jutkiewicz's penalty miss before it proving costly for the Blues.

  16. Leagues One and Two updatepublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    A flurry of late goals in Leagues One and Two.

    Coventry have levelled late on against Doncaster in League One while in the fourth tier, Morecambe have levelled against Northampton thanks to Kevin Ellison while Josh Payne has found a second consolation for Crawley against Walsall.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Hull 2-2 Cardiffpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Danny Ward (92 mins)

    Hold the phone, folks.

    Cardiff have found a smash and grab leveller at the KCOM Stadium. Danny Ward links on to Aden Flint's delivery to coolly slot home.

    Three minutes remain for either side to find a winner.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 1-1 Readingpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Andy Yiadom (90 mins)

    What a gamesaver for Reading, and it's Andy Yiadom who surely denies Swansea three points with a late strike.

    Drilled beyond Freddie Woodman to level.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Hull 2-1 Cardiffpublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Jordy de Wijs (89 mins)

    A dramatic late winner for Hull, surely!

    Jordy de Wijs heads into the bottom left corner from Jarrod Bowen's cross from a set piece and the hosts lead with a minute of normal time to spare.

  20. League Two updatepublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Heartbreak for Stevenage as they can't see their lead through against Cambridge. After Jason Cowley had given the hosts the lead early on, Sam Smith (not that one) has levelled for Cambridge.

    That goal means they slip to the bottom of League Two once, more. Reprieve for Morecambe.
