    GOAL: Luton 2-1 Brentfordpublished at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2020

    Ollie Watkins (83 mins)

    A 22nd goal of the season for Ollie Watkins and Brentford are back in this game!

    In the build-up, Mads Roerslev plays a lovely ball through to Watkins in the box who scores with a proper striker's goal as he rolls it past Luton keeper Simon Sluga.

    Cardiff 0-1 Nottm Forest

    Cardiff have just come agonisingly close to finding a late equaliser against Nottingham Forest.

    Some great build-up work from Joe Ralls sees Robert Glatzel eventually win possession and his shot towards goal is tipped wide of the mark.

  3. League One and Two latestpublished at 21:29 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2020

    Approaching the closing stages around the country and still the top two of Coventry and Rotherham can't be separated. They are locked level at 1-1.

    With those two currently taking a point apiece, Sunderland have the chance to move up to third but are blowing it, still trailing Fleetwood who themselves are now level on points with the Black Cats.

    Pompey are leading MK Dons 2-1 and Oxford are cruising to victory 3-0 at home to Accrington.

    In League Two, Newport have pulled a goal back at Grimsby to make it 3-2.

    We are back under way at St Andrew’s now after a long delay for treatment to Rotherham midfielder Daniel Barlaser after what looked a serious injury.

    He ended up getting stretchered off to warm applause from all sides of the ground.

    Let’s hope he’s OK. Shaun McDonald has come on to replace him.

    Still 1-1. Game boiling up nicely.

    West Brom 2-0 Preston

    Well Preston's task has just been made harder as they are reduced to 10 men against West Brom.

    Darnell Fisher sees red for a strong challenge on his former teammate Callum Robinson.

    No argument there, it's a high, late tackle.

    Huddersfield 2-0 Bristol City

    It's almost 3-0 to Huddersfield.

    Fraizer Campbell puts in a lovely over-the-top ball to the feet of goalscorer Karlan Grant who fires towards goal and forces Daniel Bentley into a save from his feet before Emile Smith Rowe fires over on the rebound.

    West Brom 2-0 Preston

    Sean Maguire is brought down and Preston have yet another free-kick in the West Brom half.

    Now would be a good time to pull themselves back into this game but Alan Browne's delivery into the box is headed away by Semi Ajayi.

    What an impact!

    Ilias Chair has only been on the pitch for two minutes but he's the man who has made the difference!

    It's made by Eberechi Eze who sets-up the substitute to put the home side back in front.

    An exciting finale on the way.

    QPR 1-1 Derby

    Derby are first to shuffle their pack with a double substitution as Chris Martin and Jayden Bogle enter the fray.

    There are just under 20 minutes left to find a winner.

    The Rams started the day in 13th, with Rangers just two places below them, so a draw is really of little use to either - lets see a winner.

    Karlan Grant (63 mins)

    Karlan Grant makes no mistake from the spot despite Daniel Bentley looking to have got a fingertip on it.

    That's his 14th goal of the season and Bristol City are miles away from getting anything out of this game as it stands.

  11. PENALTY TO HUDDERSFIELDpublished at 21:12 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2020

    Huddersfield 1-0 Bristol City

    Emile Smith Rowe is brought down in the box by Nathan Baker.

    The home side now have the chance to double their lead!

    Luton 2-0 Brentford

    How are Luton not 3-0 up?!

    Harry Cornick picks up the ball and plays havoc with the Brentford defence and runs unmarked into the box.

    His last-ditch effort to dink the ball past David Raya is weak but that gave the visitors plenty to think about.

  13. League One and Two latestpublished at 21:11 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2020

    I don't know what was said in the Shrewsbury dressing room at half-time but it's had the desired effect for Sam Ricketts' men.

    Having been 2-0 down they are now level. Aaron Pierre halved the deficit at Montgomery Waters Meadow, before Callum Lang struck just after the hour mark.

    Still no response from Sunderland at the Stadium of Light where the home side trail Fleetwood by a goal to nil.

    Cheltenham and Northampton remain level in League Two, while James Hanson has just stretched Grimsby's lead over Newport.

    Bristol City are pressuring for a leveller against Huddersfield.

    Nahki Wells works onto a Jack Hunt delivery but the hosts manage to deal with his efforts before he can work a shot.

    Tommy Rowe attempts a follow-up shot but finds his effort blocked.

  15. Can Cardiff respond?published at 21:05 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2020

    Cardiff 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    Forest deservedly have the lead at Cardiff and their fans are enjoying themselves for the moment.

    Their team have conceded only 33 league goals this season - the third best record in the Championship - and Neil Harris' Bluebirds must improve going forward if they are to find a way back into this game.

    In truth, Cardiff have not created a clear-cut opportunity as yet - although they did have a big penalty shout just before the break.

    At present, Forest are in good shape as they chase a first win in four games.

    It's getting a bit tetchy in the opening moments of the second 45 with QPR's Todd Kane booked for a tackle on Martyn Waghorn, then seconds later Waghorn himself is carded for an off-the-ball incident.

    The end-to-end nature of the first half has continued into the second and it's anyone's guess which way this will ultimately go.

    A Wayne Rooney panenka to seal it late on?

    Luton 2-0 Brentford

    Chances at both ends at Kenilworth Road!

    Mads Roerslev puts a cross in from the right wing towards the head of Bryan Mbeumo who heads into the hands of Luton keeper Simon Sluga.

    At the other end Luke Berry tries his luck to add a third for the hosts but Brentford manage to deflect it wide.

  18. Oxford reject Blackpool's Robinson bidpublished at 21:03 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2020

    Oxford 2-0 Accrington

    It's not too often we get a managerial update while games are going on!

    But Oxford United have rejected an approach from Blackpool to speak to head coach Karl Robinson about their vacant manager's role.

    It's not affecting the U's - they're 2-0 up against Accrington in League One.

    Robinson has 'no clue' about Blackpool bid

    Oxford United manager Karl Robinson says he has "not got a clue" about an approach for his services by Blackpool.

    Coventry 1-1 Rotherham

    Just the start to the second half Coventry were dreaming of.

    City top scorer Matt Godden nods in his 13th goal of the season - and the roar from the ‘home’ fans would have done credit to the Tilton End in full voice at a Birmingham City home game.

    The old place is rocking a bit now!

    Coventry are back on level terms after catching Rotherham off-guard with a quick free-kick which finds it way to Fankaty Dabo, who crosses for leading marksman Matty Godden to head home.

    That goal means they are back level on points in the table, with Rotherham ahead by virtue of their superior goal difference.

    Meanwhile, Pompey have recovered from conceding in first-half injury time to go back ahead at home to MK Dons through a John Marquis effort.
