    It's not been a classic at Hillsborough so far. West Brom haven't quite clicked in to gear. The hosts have had the game's only effort on target, half an hour in.

  3. Boyce hopes Wigan players 'keep focus'published at 20:15 British Summer Time 1 July 2020

    Ex-Wigan captain Emmerson Boyce hopes their players can keep their focus after the club went into administration.

    The Latics are the first professional English side to enter administration since the coronavirus pandemic began.

    They face a 12-point deduction either this season or next depending on their final position in the table.

    It's a second straight win for Nottingham Forest, who are up to fourth in the table.

    Bristol City's poor form continues. They looked better at times tonight, but Ashley Williams' red card perhaps cost them dearly.

    Tiago Silva's superb free-kick, just after the hour mark, is enough to settle the game.

    Nottm Forest 1-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City have a great chance to level, but an unmarked Benik Afobe heads over the bar from eight yards. The ball was slightly behind him, which made it tougher, but he'll be disappointed there.

    Huddersfield have romped to a big away win and are out of the relegation zone. Hull drop in to the bottom three instead.

  13. All so quiet at St Andrew'spublished at 19:49 British Summer Time 1 July 2020

    It’s hard to say it’s all gone very quiet at St Andrew’s when it was already very quiet.

    But, if there were any Blues fans here tonight, trust me, they’d have gone quiet.

    This game is so over that even the Cowley brothers have both just briefly sat down.

    Blues twice came from behind here to get a point on Saturday, the first time from 2-0 down. But a three-goal deficit? I don’t think so.

    A few Birmingham City fans will be starting to feel a bit uncomfortable.

  14. RED CARD (Bristol City)published at 19:45 British Summer Time 1 July 2020

    Nottm Forest 1-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City's Ashley Williams is off! The 35-year-old - supposedly one of the most experienced players on the field - shows what you have to say is real immaturity with some clear violent conduct.

    First, he appears to kick out at Tiago Silva when the pair of them tussle on the ground and then, after getting up, he shoves Yuri Ribeiro to the floor. Baffling stuff. Straight red.

    It's his second red card of the season.

  15. No hard feelings - Hutchinsonpublished at 19:42 British Summer Time 1 July 2020

    Sheff Wed v West Brom (19:45 BST)

    Media caption,

    Out going Owls midfielder Sam Hutchinson.

    Ex-Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Sam Hutchinson has said he has no issue with the club after being released last week.

    Hutchinson joined the Owls from in February 2014 and made 133 league appearances for the club.

    Boss Garry Monk left the former Chelsea man out of the team after an FA Cup win over QPR in January.

    "The gaffer didn't see me as reliable and at the end of the day he has to do what he thinks is right. I never argued with him, I never questioned his decision," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

    "I think I got man of the match in my last game and then that was it. I put every effort into trying to get a new contract.

    "I'm in a good place mentally and I've moved back down south. I have no bad feelings for the club, I love them because they made my career."

    Bristol City haven't been able to respond to falling behind just yet.

    They'd stay six points off the play-offs tonight, unless they can battle back in the final 25 minutes.

    Birmingham 0-3 Huddersfield

    It's the fourth home game in a row for Birmingham in which they have conceded three times.

    They now almost let in a fourth tonight, but Lee Camp does well in goal to deny Lewis O'Brien, one-on-one.

    On tonight's evidence, if Birmingham - seven points clear of the bottom three - think they are already safe, they might need to think again.

    GOAL: Birmingham 0-3 Huddersfieldpublished at 19:33 British Summer Time 1 July 2020

    Elias Kachunga (72 mins)

    Game over at St Andrew's. The visitors send a free-kick deep to the far post which finds Steve Mounie, who heads the ball back across goal for Elias Kachunga to nod in Huddersfield's third. Kachunga got himself in front of Harlee Dean and could hardly miss from five yards out.

    The Terriers are moving out of the drop zone - three points clear of it too - and sending out a big statement to their relegation rivals.
