    Bournemouth 3-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield have rallied, three goals too late it might seem, as Bournemouth are under a bit of pressure.

    Alex Pritchard headed a dinked cross from the dead-ball line into the side netting, though it was an acute angle.

    Asmir Begovic had it covered.

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    James Chester stretches every sinew to deny Colin Kazim-Richards after he had danced his way into the Stoke box.

    The defender got in at the near post to stop the ball going in. Key intervention.

    Derby pushing for the opener.

    Nott'm Forest 0-1 Brentford

    Big save by Brice Samba to keep the scores down at the City Ground...

    Bryan Mbeumo takes a shot from the edge of the box and caught it perfectly. But the palms of Samba do just enough.

    Teemu Pukki (22 mins)

    Table-topping Norwich hit the front at Blackburn.

    It's a classic poacher's finish from Teemu Pukki.

    Rovers fail to clear a corner properly and the ball falls to Alex Tettey on the left of the box.

    He sends the ball over to Pukki and the Finland striker controls, pivots and finishes from the corner of the six-yard box.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 3-0 Millwallpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Duncan Watmore (20 mins)

    Do not adjust your screens.

    A Neil Warnock side have scored three goals. In the opening 20 minutes.

    There's a touch of fortune about this one as George Saville scuffs his shot from the edge of the area.

    The ball goes straight to Duncan Watmore, who controls and finishes past the Millwall keeper from 10 yards out.

    That's his second of the game, and what a signing he has been for Boro.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Luton 1-0 Prestonpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    James Collins (20 mins)

    Luton make the breakthrough at Kenilworth Road to spark the celebrations!

    Brilliant ball into the area by Pelly Ruddock-Mpanzu, curling over the top, and James Collins did brilliantly to bring it down despite being sandwiched by defenders.

    Collins brushed aside the markers, and beat Declan Rudd with a shot into the bottom right corner. Cue the mania.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Bournemouth 3-0 Huddersfieldpublished at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    David Brooks (21 mins)

    How those Bournemouth fans are enjoying this! Game over already surely?!?

    What a hit from David Brooks too. Thunderous from the edge of the box, bit of fizzing dip on it, as Ben Hamer stood motionless.

    Nice tee-off from Dom Solanke. Returning the favour. Bournemouth roaring back to the automatic places at this rate.

    Birmingham 0-0 Watford

    Watford have been going well in the Championship, up in third place, but their away form is a slight concern.

    Just one win in 10 away from Vicarage Road.

    There's not been too much incident so far at St Andrew's, although Ben Wilmot just put a big tackle on Lukas Jutkiewicz to deny Blues a chance.

  10. League One latestpublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Some early goals to tell you about in League One.

    Three goals in the first 10 minutes at Peterborough. Jonson Clarke-Harris gave Posh the lead from the spot, Stephen Humphrys got the equaliser for Rochdale and Clarke-Harris has just got his second to put his side back in front again with another penalty.

    Northampton lead Crewe through a Ricky Holmes goal.

    Colin Daniel's goal gives Burton the lead at MK Dons.

    Bristol Rovers are goal to the good against Plymouth, Alfie Kilgour breaking the deadlock there.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Nott'm Forest 0-1 Brentfordpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Henrik Dalsgaard (15 mins)

    Forest are undone at a set-piece, and it's brilliant movement for Henrik Dalsgaard to score it.

    Mathias Jensen swung over a corner from the left in front of the Trent End, and Dalsgaard powered away from his marker, darted into the near post and looped the ball with his head over to the far corner.

    Brice Samba set in stone.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 2-0 Millwallpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Marcus Tavernier (15 mins)

    Boro don't score too many but have quickly doubled their lead against out-of-form Millwall.

    This one is an absolute peach.

    Sam Morsy finds Marcus Tavernier on the right-hand edge of the box and the winger cuts onto his left foot before sending a cracking strike into the bottom left-hand corner.

    That flashed past Lions keeper Bartosz Bialkowski before he even saw it.

    It's a long way back for the visitors, who are nine without a win.

    Luton 0-0 Preston

    No goals at Kenilworth Road so far, but Preston just went close.

    Jayden Stockley headed a fine cross from Ryan Ledson down into the ground, textbook stuff, but the ball rose up and over the top.

    Decent opportunity. There are fans are Luton today and there's a decent noise.

  14. goal

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

    Cauley Woodrow (14 mins)

    The Tykes are level, and it's their top scorer who has got it.

    Owls keeper Joe Wildsmith fails to deal with a corner, and Cauley Woodrow is there to nod in from two yards out to net his seventh league goal of the campaign.

  15. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-0 Millwallpublished at 15:15 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Duncan Watmore (13 mins)

    Boro have dominated the early stages at the Riverside and have a deserved lead.

    Duncan Watmore is on hand to tap in from close range after being picked out by Marvin Johnson's cross.

    QPR 0-0 Reading

    QPR are four without a win, losing three of those games, but have made a solid start at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

    Ilias Chair has tested Royals keeper Rafael Cabral with a shot from the edge of the area which the Brazilian punches clear.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Bournemouth 2-0 Huddersfieldpublished at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Dominic Solanke (13 mins)

    Total chaos at the back for Huddersfield, as a daft mistake by Naby Sarr hands Bournemouth a gift.

    Sarr played the ball straight to Jefferson Lerma on the edge of the Huddersfield box, and he rolled in Dominic Solanke for his second of the afternoon and his eighth of the season in total.

    Cherries in control.

  18. CLOSE!published at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2020

    Nott'm Forest 0-0 Brentford

    Nearly goal number 15 of the season for Ivan Toney at the City Ground, as Brentford broke on Forest, but he fired wide of Brice Samba's post.

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    Wayne Rooney and his coaching team have got Derby into some decent form of late, unbeaten in four, and they have set the tone so far against Stoke.

    Tom Lawrence went close with a searing drive just over the top, and the Rams have also had a few corners to boot.

    Stoke being tested.

    Blackburn 0-0 Norwich

    A fine early save by Norwich keeper Michael McGovern.

    The Northern Irishman makes a good reaction stop to keep out Sam Gallagher's near-post header from a Barry Douglas corner.
