    GOAL: Wycombe 0-2 Coventrypublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Liam Kelly (45+4 mins)

    Just when you thought it was half-time... Coventry double their lead deep into first-half stoppage time.

    Gustavo Hamer's free-kick from the right is headed back across goal and Liam Kelly is on hand to turn the ball in.

    He doesn't score too often but that is his second of the game.

    Coventry in firm control at Adams Park.

    The half-time whistles have pinged up and down the country.

    It's been a lively first 45 minutes in the Championship.

    Bournemouth 3-0 Huddersfield

    Ben Hamer paws away a Steve Cook header with the last act of the first-half... goodness me! Could have been four!

    What an afternoon in Boscombe.

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    Substitute Morgan Whittaker has gone close for Derby, but his shot was well-saved by Josef Bursik.

    Can't fault the Rams effort... they're having a dig

    Bournemouth 3-0 Huddersfield

    Lovely football by Bournemouth almost produces a fourth. Slick play in midfield released Junior Stanislas who poured forward down the left, before touching in-field to David Brooks.

    The Wales international took a touch, but placed his measured effort wide.

    At the other end there was another sighter for Aaron Rowe before the break, as Huddersfield chase this game despite the wide margin.

    The full-back rapped his shot over the top from the edge of the box.

    Nott'm Forest 0-1 Brentford

    Forest have had a rare sight of goal, with Sammy Ameobi forcing a save from David Raya with a well-hit drive from the left, and Harry Arter could make nothing of the rebound.

    Ivan Toney swiped one over the top with a dynamic effort in reply for Brentford, he's desperate to get on the scoresheet.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Rotherham 2-0 Bristol Citypublished at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Michael Smith (41 mins)

    Fully deserved.

    Bristol City have shown flashes, but by and large Rotherham have been in control and they've got the second goal their play merits.

    Big frontman Michael Smith is the man with it, stabbing in from close range.

    Birmingham 0-0 Watford

    Birmingham have had the best chance of the game so far, Mikel San Jose brushing a post with his header from a corner by Gary Gardner.

    Watford not got into gear yet...

  12. League Two latestpublished at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Exeter are three up against Tranmere with Ryan Bowman grabbing a brace.

    Carlisle lead Stevenage, Lewis Alessandra adding his side's third.

    Oldham are in front against Bradford, they lead 2-0.

    Crawley and Barrow are level at 1-1 and leaders Newport still in front against Leyton Orient 1-0.

    Derby's hopes of picking up a first home win of the season have taken a bit of a dent with Tom Lawrence limping off to be replaced by Morgan Whittaker.

    Stoke have had a chance too - Steven Fletcher picked out but his touch was heavy and the opportunity evaporates.

    GOAL: Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Barnsleypublished at 15:39 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Dominik Frieser (38 mins)

    Barnsley have turned things round at Hillsborough.

    Dominik Frieser slots the Tykes in front with a low finish from the edge of the six-yard box after Conor Chaplin clipped a delightful ball over the home defence.

    Will the wait for a first win in charge of the Owls go on much longer for Tony Pulis?

    Bournemouth 3-0 Huddersfield

    Naby Sarr just put in a cross that summed up Huddersfield's afternoon, "high, wide and not very handsome" as John Motson used to say on a computer game of my youth.

    The scoreline is so comfortable in Bournemouth's favour, no surprises then they look to have taken their foot off the gas a bit.

    Rotherham 1-0 Bristol City

    After a poor first 20 minutes, Bristol City are just starting to grow into the game at Rotherham.

    But should the Millers have a penalty here? Tommy Rowe trips a Rotherham player in the box but the referee waves it away. He's got away with one, the former Wolves man.

    GOAL: Wycombe 0-1 Coventrypublished at 15:36 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Liam Kelly (34 mins)

    He went close a few moments ago, and now the City skipper has broken the deadlock.

    Liam Kelly sends a fierce drive from 25 yards past Ryan Allsop and into the bottom left-hand corner after stealing possession midway inside the Wycombe half.

    A big blow for the Chairboys and their 2,000 fans inside Adams Park.

    Wycombe 0-0 Coventry

    Still goalless in the big game in the bottom six.

    Coventry have just gone close, with Liam Kelly shooting narrowly wide.

    The Sky Blues have had to bring on Gustavo Hamer for Jordan Shipley, who had returned to the side this afternoon.

  19. League One latestpublished at 15:34 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    It's a 22 minute hat-trick for Jonson Clarke-Harris as Peterborough lead Rochdale 3-1.

    A Grant Leadbitter penalty and Charlie Wyke goal put Sunderland two up against Lincoln.

    Wigan are also two goals to the good against Accrington.

    Bristol Rovers extend their lead as Luke McCormick doubles his side's lead.

    Doncaster, Portsmouth and Fleetwood have all broken the deadlock in their respective games.

  20. goal

    GOAL: Luton 2-0 Prestonpublished at 15:30 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    James Collins (29 mins)

    Luton Town have only won one in the past seven but they're two goals to the good against a Preston side who have been better away from home this term.

    Preston didn't clear a wickedly swinging corner into the far post properly, so Glen Rea dinked a perfect ball back to the centre and James Collins nodded in from close range for his eighth of the season.
