    Norwich regain the lead at Ewood Park.

    Emi Buendia hits a long-range strike which Teemu Pukki smartly deflects in.

    Rovers keeper Thomas Kaminski was stranded.

    That's Pukki's second of the game and also his 50th goal for the Canaries.

    Bournemouth 3-0 Huddersfield

    Dominic Solanke not far off a hat-trick, driving forward, jinking infield and smashing a low left-foot shot just wide of the right post.

    Bournemouth have just taken David Brooks off, game won and he'll be given a well-earned rest.

    Joe Jacobson pen (61 mins)

    No mistake from Joe Jacobson from the spot.

    Is the comeback on?

  4. PENALTY to Wycombepublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Wycombe 0-2 Coventry

    Instant impact from the subs as David Wheeler is pushed while trying to get on the end of a knock-down by Bayo Akinfenwa.

    Bournemouth 3-0 Hudderfield

    Lloyd Kelly makes a big play to deny the onrushing Harry Toffolo, and Bournemouth hold Huddersfield out again.

    Toffolo played a one-two and hared into the box, it opened up for him but Kelly swooped from nowhere to pinch the ball away. Telling touch.

    Wycombe 0-2 Coventry

    Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth makes a triple substitution in a bid to get back into the game.

    David Wheeler, Garath McCleary and Adebayo Akinfenwa are on for the Chairboys.

  7. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:21 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Barnsley

    Barnsley think they've got a third goal as Conor Chaplin bundles the ball into the Owls net from close range.

    But the offside flag is up against the Tykes.

  8. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Nott'm Forest 0-1 Brentford

    Forest denied! Anthony Knockaert puts a shot beyond David Raya and into the net, but Lyle Taylor was right in the keeper's eyeline and it's chalked off.

    Brice Samba did well to deny the Bees at the other end just before, turning Tariq Fosu-Mensah's effort wide.

  9. League One latestpublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

  10. goal

    GOAL: Blackburn 1-1 Norwichpublished at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Harvey Elliott (59 mins)

    Rovers have been on top in the second period, and have pegged back the league leaders.

    On-loan midfielder Harvey Elliott is the man who's got the goal and it's a fine solo effort.

    He picks up the ball on the right flank and advances into the area before beating a defender and sliding the ball under Canaries stopper Michael McGovern.

    Nott'm Forest 0-1 Brentford

    Forest made changes at the break, in particular bringing on Anthony Knockaert, and the Frenchman has been involved already.

    He won a free-kick with his trickery, teasing a foul on the edge of the box, and from the set-piece Lyle Taylor slapped a shot on goal but it was fielded well by goalkeeper David Raya.

    QPR 0-0 Reading

    It's been rather low-key at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

    The Royals are four without a win away from home and are yet to have a shot on target this afternoon.

    Sheff Wed 1-2 Barnsley

    Wednesday have started the second half with real intent.

    Tykes keeper Jack Walton has made saves from Kadeem Harris and Josh Windass since the resart.

    I'm sure Owls boss Tony Pulis gave his side a piece of his mind after the hosts threw away an early lead.

    Birmingham 0-0 Watford

    Slumberous affair at St Andrew's today I'm afraid.

    The second-half has started in the same vein. None of the fireworks of Watford's midweek win over Rotherham anyway.

    Blues will be satisfied they've kept a dangerous side quiet, having beaten another high-flier in Reading in midweek.

    Tony Pulis has made a half-time change, bringing Joey Pelupessy on for Joost van Aken.

    Will that stir the Owls into action?

    Bournemouth 3-0 Huddersfield

    Lively start aside from the goalkeeper switch.

    Huddersfield's Jaden Brown forced Asmir Begovic to stretch to get a hand to a curling effort from the left, and then Adama Diakhaby got in behind but couldn't find the pass.

    Then, Alex Pritchard got back to cover a Bournemouth break, outpacing Adam Smith as he chased the ball from David Brooks.

    Wycombe 0-2 Coventry

    Coventry captain Liam Kelly scored once in his first 117 games for the club.

    He netted twice for the Sky Blues in the first half to give the visitors control at Adams Park.

    Kelly has been forced off through injury and the Chairboys and their 2,000 fans will be glad to see the back of him.

    Wycombe are heading for an eight game without a win unless they can mount a comeback.

  18. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Blackburn 0-1 Norwich

    Blackburn pressing at the start of the second period.

    First Harvey Elliott sees a cross deflected narrowly wide off Christoph Zimmermann.

    Then Sam Gallagher rattles the Canaries crossbar with a powerful shot from outside the area.

  19. Postpublished at 16:05 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Bournemouth 3-0 Huddersfield

    You don't see this very often.

    Huddersfield Town have taken Ben Hamer off and put Ryan Schofield on. Goalie change!

  20. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    The second halves are getting going.

    We've had 17 goals so far in the 11 games in the Championship.

    But three matches in the second-tier remain goalless.
