    Huddersfield 2-0 Sheff Wed

    Goals from in-form Josh Koroma and Isaac Mbenza give Huddersfield back to back wins for the first time since the days of David Wagner.

    They even afforded missing a penalty in the second half through Juninho Bacuna.

    For Tony Pulis and Sheffield Wednesday, the wait for a first win of their combination goes on.

    Huddersfield 2-0 Sheff Wed

    Ben Hamer denies former Terriers forward Jordan Rhodes, with a big stop in injury time for the home side.

    Out for a corner. Huddersfield being given an examination here.

    Millwall 1-1 QPR

    Respect shown before the game as both sides showed their support for anti-discrimination measures and anti-racism charities.

    Respect shown during it too as a lively game ends all square - Jon Dadi Bodvarsson cancelling out Ilias Chair's opener for Rangers.

    The 2,000 Millwall fans did themselves and their club proud too. Really vocal, in an encouraging way. Mahlon Romeo parades his shirt around, with the Kick It Out anti-racism charity on the front. Fine scenes.

    Watford 2-0 Rotherham

    Christian Kabasele and Troy Deeney goals in the first-half deliver Watford a big three points and they climb to third.

    Rotherham's disappointing run continues.

    There will be a minimum of five minutes added time.

    Millwall 1-1 QPR

    Desperate blocking by QPR as Millwall pour pressure on their goal.

    The home support urging them on.

    Three minutes of added time. This is heading for a draw.

    Millwall 1-1 QPR

    Big header from Shaun Hutchinson to clear as Rangers dance into the box through Bright Osayi-Samuel.

    Was enough to get the ball clear...

    Minutes later at the other end, Seny Dieng is brave off his line to smother a Jed Wallace cross, put into a dangerous zone outside the six-yard box.

    Watford 2-0 Rotherham

    Stipe Perica could have quelled Rotherham and settled this for good for Watford, but the Croat was unable to deliver.

    Ismaila Sarr plays in the striker but he cannot provide a finish. They are still heading third at this rate...

    Millwall 1-1 QPR

    Matt Smith meets another set-piece into the Rangers box as Millwall tighten up once again, but it tamely bounces through to goalkeeper Seny Dieng.

    The approach is simple. Get the big lads involved.

    Millwall 1-1 QPR

    Tom Bradshaw heads wide after a cross was stood up beautifully to the back-post in the QPR box. The striker couldn't get above the ball and it looped up and wide.

    Perfect ball in though. You can just feel the 2,000 crowd starting to gee Millwall up. They're rousing their team.

    GOAL: Stoke 1-2 Cardiffpublished at 21:22 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2020

    Sean Morrison (76 mins)

    The Bluebirds have turned it around, they're flying now.

    In comes a deep corner and it reaches unmarked Cardiff skipper Sean Morrison who heads home.

    After scoring an own goal to give Stoke the lead, Morrison has now headed his side in front.

    Swansea 0-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth still on top but it's still goalless.

    The Cherries players appeal for a penalty for a challenge on David Brooks but it's waved away.
