  2. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:52 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    QPR 6-1 Cardiff

    A new year's day that will live long in the memory for QPR fans. They've dominated Cardiff today in every department.

    A late consolation, and nothing more.

  4. Postpublished at 16:51 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Fulham 1-2 Reading

    Another stunning save from Reading goalkeeper Rafael Cabral.

    The Royals keeper turns Aleksandar Mitrovic's effort on to the post and it's not going to be the home side's day.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Bristol City 0-4 Brentfordpublished at 16:50 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Ollie Watkins (90 mins)

    Ollie Watkins' header is well-saved by Daniel Bentley but the forward nets the rebound.

    Huddersfield 2-5 Stoke

    Staying at Huddersfield, some reports of racist chanting - which we definitely don't want to hear...

    Game over.

    Sub Lee Gregory makes the points safe with Huddersfield out of position.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Preston 0-2 Middlesbrough

    Another chance for Rudy Gestede as his fine header is matched by Declan Rudd's diving, reaction save.

    Middlesbrough are far more likely to score next in this one.

  9. Postpublished at 16:45 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Fulham 1-2 Reading

    Fulham are still pushing for an equaliser.

    Ivan Cavaleiro sees his effort tipped on to the post by Royals keeper Rafael Cabral and Aboubakar Kamara can't quite turn the rebound in.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Birmingham 2-3 Wiganpublished at 16:44 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Jacques Maghoma (81 mins)

    Game on again as Jacques Maghoma nods in from close range for Blues.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Bristol City 0-3 Brentfordpublished at 16:42 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Ollie Watkins (80 mins)

    They've carved through the ten-men of Bristol City all day and now Brentford finally have a third.

    Said Benrahma plays in Jan Zamburek who cuts the ball back to Ollie Watkins and the striker taps home from two-yards out.

    All of Brentford's front three have got themselves on the score sheet today. Lovely stuff.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:42 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Bristol City 0-2 Brentford

    Keeper Daniel Bentley keeps 10-man Bristol City in the game as he dives to stop Ethan Pinnock powerful header.

    It's all Brentford at the moment and as it stands they're heading to third in the Championship.

    Nahki Wells isn't the only hat-trick hero in the EFL today...

    Mansfield's Nicky Maynard has all three for the Stags, who are now 3-2 up at Cambridge.

    Ian Holloway's new side Grimsby have taken the lead against Salford, while up a level in League One, Burton are 4-2 up at 10-man Bolton.

    Sheff Wed 0-1 Hull

    Home striker Steven Fletcher wins a free-kick for the hosts and takes it himself.

    It's good but goes just wide.

  15. Leaders Swindon in frontpublished at 16:38 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    League Two latest

    Swindon have completed the turnaround at Plymouth and now lead 2-1 at Home Park.

    You won't need us to tell you that Eoin Doyle's scored for the Robins.

    Cedric Kipre (73 mins)

    Lee Evans' header back across goal is bundled home by defender Cedric Kipre and Wigan now have a two-goal cushion.

    As it stands, the Latics are no longer bottom of the Championship.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Nottingham Forest 3-2 Blackburnpublished at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Joe Worrall (own goal) (71 mins)

    Lot of own goals today...

    A cross into the area causes all sorts of problems and home defender Joe Worrall ends up turning the ball past his own goalkeeper.

  18. CLOSE!published at 16:33 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Preston 0-2 Middlesbrough

    So nearly a second for Rudy Gestede as he strikes a volley agonisingly wide from 20 yards out.

    His opener in the first half was his first goal for nearly two years.

    At the other end, Ben Pearson sees a shot well-saved from Aynsley Pears.

  19. Postpublished at 16:33 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Fulham 1-2 Reading

    Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic goes down in the area but he's booked for simulation.

    The hosts have 15 minutes to find a leveller.

    Tyrese Campbell (70 mins)

    Incredible!

    Tyrese Campbell finishes brilliantly from the edge of the area and Stoke, who were 1-0 up half-time and then 2-1 down five minutes into the second half, are now 4-2 up.

    They're going three clear of the relegation zone. If they can hold on to this now.
