    As things stand, Fulham will be going level on points with second-placed Leeds United, while also pulling a four-point buffer on Brentford in fourth.

    Leeds, remember, play Nottingham Forest in today's late game.

    GOAL: Stoke 3-1 Charltonpublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Nick Powell (66 mins)

    A two-goal buffer for Stoke...

    Tommy Smith crosses for Nick Powell to convert at the near post.

    Charlton are fuming as they believe a throw-in was wrongly awarded Stoke's way in the build-up to the goal.

    A big goal at the top of the Championship!

    Aleksandar Mitrovic's only previous sniff of goal was an optimistic effort from inside his own half before the break, but Fulham's top scorer has now broken the deadlock in rather more orthodox fashion.

    The Serbia striker converts Joe Bryan's cross from the left to put the visitors in front.

    GOAL: Huddersfield 2-0 QPRpublished at 16:25 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Steve Mounie (61 mins, pen)

    Three minutes after breaking the deadlock Elias Kachunga is brought down in the box by a QPR defender.

    Up steps Steve Mounie, who coolly converts from the spot to double Huddersfield's advantage.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 2-2 Derbypublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Duane Homes (64 mins)

    Speaking of games going goal crazy...

    This was 1-0 a few minutes ago, too, but now it's 2-2 in a flash. Duane Holmes is the man with it for Derby, drilling home an equaliser to drag the Rams level.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Brentford 2-2 Middlesbroughpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Ashley Fletcher (63 mins)

    What is going on at Griffin Park?!

    Five minutes ago Brentford led 1-0, but now somehow it's 2-2.

    For the second time Middlesbrough level, as an inswinging corner is bundled over the line by Ashley Fletcher. The Bees players are claiming handball but the referee's not interested.

    What a game we have on our hands here.

  8. Toney gets 22nd goal of seasonpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    League One latest

    Swindon's Eoin Doyle may be the EFL's leading marksman but Peterborough's Ivan Toney is hot on his heals.

    Toney has doubled Posh's lead at home to Oxford, who are perhaps feeling the effects of playing 120 minutes in their midweek FA Cup replay defeat by Newcastle.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Huddersfield 1-0 QPRpublished at 16:21 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Elias Kachunga (57 mins)

    A big goal for Huddersfield in their fight against the drop!

    Elias Kachunga heads home Harry Toffolo's cross to put them ahead against QPR - that the Terriers' 6,000th league goal.

  10. Crewe back on level termspublished at 16:21 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    League Two latest

    Second-placed Crewe have equalised against Oldham through James Jones.

    At the other end Joe Riley has put Mansfield a goal up at second-bottom Morecambe.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Brentford 2-1 Middlesbroughpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Bryan Mbeumo (60 mins)

    We've gone goal crazy!

    Middlesbrough are level for less than two minutes at Griffin Park, as Bryan Mbeumo's attempt from distance takes an almighty deflection and goes in to restore Brentford's lead.

    That may be one for the dubious goals panel.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 2-1 Derbypublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Wayne Routledge (58 mins)

    What a turnaround at the Liberty Stadium!

    It's a second goal inside three minutes for Swansea, who trailed at half-time but have now gone in front through Wayne Routledge.

    Lewis Wing (58 mins)

    Game on at Griffin Park!

    Lewis Wing was denied from close range earlier in this half, but his drilled effort from inside the area rattles into the corner off the post. Middlesbrough are level.

  14. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 1-1 Derbypublished at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Yan Dhanda (56 mins)

    This is a terrific finish from Yan Dhanda, who rewards Swansea's pressure with an equaliser.

    The 21-year-old curls the ball into the bottom corner from about 20 yards out.

    Portsmouth are red-hot at the moment and have taken another step towards a fifth win in a row, Ryan Williams putting them 2-0 up at a sandy Tranmere.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Reading 1-0 Hullpublished at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Jordan Obita (56 mins)

    Reading have started this second half really well and now they have the goal the pressure deserves.

    Jordan Obita is the man with it, poking in from close range to put the Royals in front.

  17. Promotion hopefuls fall behindpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    League Two latest

    A good day for leaders Swindon at the moment as second-placed Crewe have fallen behind to Oldham, Jonny Smith with the opener.

    Elsewhere, Josh Gordon has broken the deadlock at The New Lawn, putting mid-table Walsall ahead at play-off chasing Forest Green.

  18. Postpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Swansea 0-0 Derby

    Speaking of goals living charmed lives, Derby are well and truly holding on at the Liberty Stadium.

    First a Wayne Routledge shot is blocked away, before Liverpool loanee Rhian Brewster is denied on the follow-up.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:10 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Brentford 1-0 Middlesbrough

    BoroImage source, Rex Features

    So close to 1-1!

    It would've been a complete fluke for Middlesbrough, mind you, as Marvin Johnson's deep cross ends up smacking into the angle of post and bar.

    Lewis Wing then comes close on the follow-up, too, but his attempt his blocked away.

    The Brentford goal is living a charmed life.

  20. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 2-1 Charltonpublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Tom Ince (47 mins)

    Stoke are back ahead, but should Tom Ince have been flagged offside?

    The Charlton defenders, coaching staff and fans certainly think so but the former Derby and Blackpool forward slots under Dillon Phillips and it counts.
