    There's the cushion that might just seal the points for the Hornets, and it comes from Joao Pedro.

    The Brazilian was on hand to turn in at the back post after Ismaila Sarr air-swiped Kiko Femenia's cross from the right.

    Big moment for Xisco's boys.

  2. goal

    GOAL: Cardiff City 1-2 Norwich Citypublished at 16:25 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2021

    Joe Ralls (65 mins)

    Cardiff claw one back!

    A triple substitution works its magic almost immediately.

    Joe Ralls picks up a cross from the left from Leandro Bacuna on the edge of the Norwich penalty box and is able to roll in a low left-foot strike to the bottom right.

    Nottm Forest 1-0 Millwall

    Millwall get a sight of goal but Troy Parrott can only sky his effort.

    There are high hopes for the Tottenham loanee, but he can't find the net there.

    Alex Mighten causing problems for the Lions defence at the other end but his shot is blocked.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Luton Town

    Luton forced to do some last-ditch defending of their own now.

    Dan Potts gets across just in time to deny Dominic Solanke the chance to roll the ball into the net after rounding Simon Sluga from Joshua King's through ball.

    Getting closer.

  5. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2021

    Bristol City 1-0 Preston

    Ooooof so close for Preston.

    Paul Huntington's looping header clips the top of the bar following Benjamin Whiteman's corner.

    Warning signs for the hosts.

    Cardiff City 0-2 Norwich City

    Norwich still looking like they'll score the next goal in this one.

    Mario Vrancic the latest to go close for the league leaders as he forces a save out of Alex Smithies.

    Tom Cleverley (54 mins)

    Erm, we were saying... Finally Watford break the deadlock, but it's not one Huddersfield will want to see again.

    Some dreadful defending by the Terriers, who dithered, Alex Vallejo played the ball back to goalkeeper Ryan Schofield who is slow to react and a sliding Tom Cleverley pokes it into the net.

    Terrible lack of communication there. Schofield might have injured himself too.

    No goals yet for BBC Radio Leeds duo Paul Ogden and Matt Glenn to commentate on as they follow the action from Vicarage Road where Huddersfield are taking on Watford.

    Nottm Forest 1-0 Millwall

    Forest have had a couple of cracks at the Lions goal in the second-half, Ryan Yates smashing wide after Cafu - what a name to have to live up to eh? - caused problems with a free-kick.

    Still 1-0 to the good.

  10. EFL updatepublished at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2021

    #bbcefl

    A loose ball drops for Mallik Wilks and the forward smashes Hull City in front against Blackpool. That goal takes the Tigers a point off the League One summit as it stands.

    And in League Two Alfie May has just put Cheltenham ahead at Bolton. It's 1-0 in both.

    No other second-half goals in the third and fourth tier to tell you about.

  11. Postpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2021

    Bournemouth 0-0 Luton Town

    Luton piling on the pressure on 10-man Bournemouth.

    They go close on three occasions to opening the scoring. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Luke Berry are both denied by smart saves from Asmir Begovic after a corner.

  12. Postpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2021

    Derby 0-0 Rotherham

    Wayne Rooney would have had plenty to say to his players at half-time, after Derby somewhat toiled against Rotherham at Pride Park.

    Rotherham did everything but score, but the second half has now started with a blow, as a clash between Angus McDonald and goalkeeper Jamal Blackman prompts a stoppage.

    Blackburn Rovers 0-1 Stoke City

    Nick Powell goes close to heading in again for Stoke.

    Just narrowly over the bar on this occasion for the visitors.

  14. Postpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2021

    Cardiff City 0-2 Norwich City

    Half a sight of goal for Cardiff early in the second half.

    Will Vaulks forces a save out of Dan Barden in Norwich's goal as he hits a volley from a well-wrked free-kick.

    Barden down well to deny him.

  15. Postpublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2021

    Watford 0-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield's Fraizer Campbell enjoys a chuckle with Watford striker Troy Deeney as this one kicks off.

    Deeney was booked in the first half for a sliding tackle on Juninho Bacuna. I doubt there'll be any laughing from him.

  16. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2021

    Back under way for the second 45.

    What twists and tales will we see from here?
