    Ipswich 0-1 Sunderland

    Sunderland seemingly taking numbers in a line to have a go on goal and finish this one off.

    Into the final five minutes and despite Ipswich's determination to try and put bodies on the line, it just isn't falling for them going forward.

    Ipswich 0-1 Sunderland

    Last 10 minutes approaching at Portman Road.

    Lynden Gooch replaces Aiden McGeady for Sunderland while Teddy Bishop has been brought on for Ipswich.

    However, there's still little to trouble the visitors who also have a man advantage remember after Kayden Jackson's early sending off.

    Ipswich 0-1 Sunderland

    As it stands, Sunderland set to extend their unbeaten away run in League One to 11 matches, an incredible feat.

    Ipswich meanwhile heading for a third defeat in their past four.

    Into the last 20 minutes and there's little evidence to suggest those two things won't be happening come full-time.

  12. League Two headlinespublished at 21:10 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2021

    • Morecambe go third in the table with a win at Exeter in the early kick-off.
    • Cheltenham win for the first time in eight league games by beating Oldham.
    • Scunthorpe and Bradford ease their relegation worries with victories over Port Vale and bottom-of-the-table Southend respectively.
    • James Vaughan scores twice as Tranmere come from a goal down to beat Harrogate 3-2.

    Ipswich 0-1 Sunderland

    Sunderland centre-back Bailey Wright has to make way after he accidentally clashes heads with Aaron Drinan in an aerial challenge.

    He's wheeled off on a paramedics float, thankfully conscious and sitting up, after some lengthy treatment.

    Around 25 minutes to play.

    Ipswich 0-1 Sunderland

    Chances at both ends on the hour mark.

    Ipswich loanee Luke Thomas goes close as he forces a smart save from Lee Burge with a shot inside the box while at the other end, Aiden O'Brien's shot is blocked on the line by Mark McGuinness' fine interception.

    • Watford move up to second but they are held to a goalless draw at Millwall, who move up to 15th.
    • Famara Diedhou's first-half brace is enough for Bristol City to record a fourth home win in a row against Huddersfield. But the Terriers are unfortunate not to come away with a point in a game where they hit the woodwork four times.

    Sunderland continuing to dominate this League One encounter at Portman Road as 10-man Ipswich bring Aaron Drinan on in a bid to gain some posession.

  19. FULL-TIMEpublished at 20:55 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2021

    Bristol City 2-1 Huddersfield

    Bristol City hang on for a fourth win in five in 2021.

    How Huddersfield couldn't find a leveller with a hatful of terrific efforts and chances is anyone's guess?

  20. FULL-TIMEpublished at 20:54 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2021

    Portsmouth 0-1 Lincoln City

    Lincoln go top of League One.

    Ten-man Pompey couldn't quite hang on for a draw and it's back-to-back home defeats for Kenny Jackett's side.
