  1. Bristol City 2-1 Coventry

    Almost a third goal for Bristol City, but Andi Weimann clips the top of the Coventry bar after latching onto a cut-back from Tommy Rowe.

  2. League One latest

    An equaliser for Sunderland against Bristol Rovers, Chris Maguire gets it with a shot from the edge of the box.

  3. Derby County 0-2 Reading

    This one is getting away from Derby as we move into the closing stages.

    Not been the start Phillip Cocu would've been looking for from his side.

  4. QPR 1-0 Nottingham Forest

    Lewis Grabban with a glorious chance again to score but he puts Sammy Ameobi's squared ball over the bar.

    Forest should be level, QPR will breathe a huge sigh of relief.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Bournemouth 3-2 Blackburn Rovers

    Arnaut Danjuma (84 mins)

    Bournemouth celebrateRex Features

    Non-stop action in this one - Bournemouth take the lead for a third time!

    Arnaut Danjuma gets their third goal with six minutes left on the clock.

    He cuts in from the left wing on to his right foot on the edge of the penalty box and unleashes a brilliant shot that heads into the roof of the net.

    Is that the winner or is there more action to come?

  6. Preston 0-1 Swansea

    Preston are pressing for that leveller but time is running out for them.

    Ben Pearson hits one from 25 yards but his effort is blocked.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Bristol City 2-1 Coventry

    Tomas Kalas (82 mins)

    Kalas goalRex Features

    Bristol City regain the lead at Ashton Gate.

    Jamie Paterson's inswinging corner from the left is headed in by Robins captain Tomas Kalas.

    It wasn't the cleanest header from the Czech centre-back inside the Coventry six-yard box, but he won't mind one bit - it's his first goal for the club.

  8. League One latest

    After a wretched run in the second half of last season, Hull are about to start their League One campaign with victory at Gillingham. Josh Magennis has doubled the Tigers' lead in Kent.

    Meanwhile, much-fancied Peterborough are now 2-0 down at Accrington in the third tier.

  9. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Bournemouth 2-2 Blackburn Rovers

    Blackburn have the ball in the net again, but it won't count this time.

    Adam Armstrong's cross is tucked away by Lewis Holtby, but he is judged offside as it took a deflection on its way across goal.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Huddersfield 0-1 Norwich

    Adam Idah (80 mins)

    The visitors take the lead and this one was served up on a platter for Norwich.

    Terriers defender Richard Stearman sets Canaries striker Teemu Pukki through on goal with a poorly under-hit back-pass.

    The Finn draws the keeper and a defender before teeing up sub Adam Idah.

  11. Bournemouth 2-2 Blackburn Rovers

    Into the last 10 minutes of this one.

    Bournemouth introduce David Brooks in place of Chris Mepham as Jason Tindall is clearly keen to take all three points in his first league game in charge.

  12. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Bristol City 1-1 Coventry

    Bristol City have a goal ruled out for offside.

    Andi Weimann had the ball in the back of the net, but had strayed beyond the Sky Blues' defence.

  13. Derby County 0-2 Reading

    Wayne RooneyPA Media

    Wayne Rooney's introduction has done little so far to change this game.

    He is on the ball a lot, but not in threatening positions.

    Reading looking good for an impressive away win on the opening day.

  14. Huddersfield 0-0 Norwich

    Double change in the Canaries' forward line.

    Adam Idah and Przemyslaw Placheta are on for Kieran Dowell and Onel Hernandez.

    Under 15 minutes remain for either side to grab a winner.

    Meanwhile, Norwich midfielder Todd Cantwell is fortunate to only see yellow for a foul on Richard Stearman.

  15. Barnsley 0-1 Luton Town

    Barnsley go close to a leveller shortly after falling behind.

    Alex Mowatt tees it up well but substitute Dominik Frieser can't quite head it on target.

  16. Millwall 0-0 Stoke

    Still no goals at The Den. Both sides are still going for it, though.

    Will there be a goal in this one as we enter the final 20 minutes or so?

  17. Cardiff 0-2 Sheff Wed

    The hosts are pushing at the Cardiff City Stadium

    Bluebirds skipper Sean Morrison latches onto a flick-on from Kieffer Moore and volleys at goal, but Owls keeper Cameron Dawson tips the ball wide.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Bournemouth 2-2 Blackburn Rovers

    Adam Armstrong (73 mins)

    Blackburn level again!

    He came close a few minutes ago, but he's on target this time.

    Adam Armstrong makes it 2-2 with a low left-footed finish from inside the area.

    Ryan Nyambe did well to win it initially and set Armstrong in.

  19. A bizarre stoppage at Fleetwood...

    Fleetwood 1-1 Burton

  20. goal

    GOAL: Barnsley 0-1 Luton Town

    James Collins (71 mins)

    Deadlock broken at Oakwell!

    Luton take the lead and it's their talisman James Collins who gets it.

    Lovely finish from Kazenga LuaLua's nod down that is fired into the top right corner.
