    Dan Bentley OG (45+1 mins)

    Bournemouth level and it's an unfortunate own goal from Bristol City goalkeeper Dan Bentley.

    The first cross from the left from a free-kick was cleared but the ball came back out to Junior Stanislas to send it back in and Bentley got it all wrong at his near post, spilling the ball out of his fingers and across the line.

    Swansea's automatic promotion push has started to stall a touch in recent days after two defeats in three games.

    Manager Steve Cooper has told his players to put fatigue to one side as they head into the final third of the season.

    Their first match of six in the space of 17 days is at Stoke this evening and the incentive of closing the gap on the top two remains with games also in hand.

    Stoke, meanwhile, need a win not only to recover from back-to-back defeats by Brentford and Barnsley but also to keep in sight of the play-off pack, who are eight points ahead of them.

    Just to remind you, there's one more match due to kick-off very soon in the Potteries.

  19. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:05 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021

    Welcome to Hillsborough, Darren Moore - his side made the stronger start but they fall behind to a fine header.

    Michael Smith heads the Millers ahead from Florian Jozefzoon's pin-point cross from the right that gave Joe Wildsmith no chance of reaching.

    It was Rotherham's first real attack of note and a fine finish.
