  1. QPR 0-2 Nottm Forest

    Nahki Wells latches onto a knock-down from Jordan Hugill and sends an effort narrowly wide as 10-man QPR look to come back into the game.

  2. Middlesbrough 1-0 Barnsley

    Five minutes to go at the Riverside. What have Barnsley got left?

    As it stands, Boro will move out of the relegation zone and the Tykes will be eight points from safety at the bottom.

    GOAL: QPR 0-2 Nottm Forest

    Lewis Grabban (81 mins)

    It looks like it is goodnight, QPR.

    Sammy Ameobi has acres of space down the left and puts in a low cross which an unmarked Lewis Grabban seizes on with glee.

    You can't give a striker of his quality that much space, and Grabban nets his eight of the season from close range.

    Rangers have now conceded two goals in each of their past 10 games. Talk about a leaky defence.

  4. goal

    GOAL: Sheff Wed 1-1 Birmingham

    Kadeem Harris (81 mins)

    Birmingham's resistance is broken as Sheffield Wednesday finally level things up.

    Kadeem Harris is the man who gets the goal for the Owls, shooting low from the edge of the area through a defender's legs and finding the bottom left-hand corner.

    Still time for a winner...

  5. goal

    GOAL: Hull 4-0 Preston

    Jarrod Bowen (77 mins)

    It's that man again!

    Jarrod Bowen cuts in from the right and fires past Declan Rudd from a tight angle for his second of the night.

    It's the 22-year-old's 50th goal in a Hull shirt and 13th of the season.

  6. Middlesbrough 1-0 Barnsley

    Boro can't kill this game off.

    Hayden Coulson is found by Ashley Fletcher but his strike from distance is saved by Samuel Radlinger.

    Barnsley have had plenty of possession but really struggled to create good chances.

  7. Blackburn 1-0 Brentford

    Christian Norgaard goes close for the Bees, as the midfielder curls an effort across goal and inches wide from the edge of the area.

    Then at the other end, Brentford keeper David Raya makes a brilliant save to tip over a shot from Adam Armstrong from inside the area.

  8. HITS THE POST

    Hull 3-0 Preston

    Yep, it really isn't Preston's night.

    Josh Harrop smashes the ball against the post from inside the area, and Tom Barkhuizen's follow up is saved by George Long.

    20 minutes to go.

  9. Middlesbrough 1-0 Barnsley

    Middlesbrough almost double their lead!

    Britt Assombalonga's initial effort is saved, the stirker then squares the rebound and Ashley Fletcher can't find the target.

    Barnsley still have hope.

  10. West Brom 2-0 Bristol City

    West Brom are having to weather a bit of a storm as the visitors look to get into the game.

    Meanwhile, Robins centre-back Ashley Williams shows a bit of frustration as he gets involved with a bit of a to-do with opposition defender Kyle Bartley after fouling Matheus Pereira.

    Williams escapes with just a yellow card.

  11. Hull 3-0 Preston

    Preston almost grab one back but Patrick Bauer's attempt from inside the box flies wide. It's not their night.

  12. Sheff Wed 0-1 Birmingham

    Birmingham bring on big man Lukas Jutkiewicz for the final 25 minutes, with goalscorer Alvaro Gimenez heading off.

    Fernando Forestieri is on for the Owls as boss Garry Monk looks to come back into the game against his former club.

  13. QPR 0-1 Nottm Forest

    Almost a leveller for the 10 men, as QPR substitute Josh Scowen sends Todd Kane's cross inches wide of the post.

  14. DISALLOWED GOAL

    West Brom 2-0 Bristol City

    The Robins have the ball in the back of the net and think they are back in the game.

    Ashley Williams had stepped forward and lashed home after Andi Weimann's shot was pushed back into his path.

    But Callum O'Dowda was offside in the build-up so the goal is chalked off.

  15. KICK-OFF

    West Brom 2-0 Bristol City

    Back under way in the second half at The Hawthorns.

    Bristol City boss Lee Johnson has brought on Famara Diedhiou for the second 45 minutes, with Kasey Palmer the man hooked.

    Niclas Eliasson has also replaced defender Bailey Wright as the visitors look to get back in the game.

    They've used all three substitutions already.

  16. Hull 3-0 Preston

    This could end up being a real thumping for Preston.

    Jackson Irvine should make it 4-0 but blazes over from a couple of yards out with the goal gaping.

    Alex Neil's promotion chasing side are all over the shop.

  17. CLOSE!

    Blackburn 1-0 Brentford

    A crucial intervention from Lewis Travis as the Blackburn midfielder is alert to clear a header from Brentford centre-back Pontus Jansson off his own line.

  18. Sheff Wed 0-1 Birmingham

    Wednesday carve an opportunity for an equalising goal.

    The Owls work the ball from right to left, where Kadeem Harris then fires into the side-netting.

  19. RED CARD (Lee Wallace)

    QPR 0-1 Nottm Forest

    QPR are down to 10 men as Lee Wallace gets a straight red card for bringing down Joe Lolley.

    He hauls the forward back as he was running through on goal, with the Forest man looking to get on the end of a bouncing ball forward.

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-0 Barnsley

    Ashley Fletcher (54 mins)

    HUGE goal at the bottom of the Championship!

    Marcus Tavernier bursts down the left for Boro and squares the ball to an unmarked Ashley Fletcher in the centre of the box.

    Fletcher dithers, but eventually finds the back of the net. Where were the Barnsley defenders?
