    Derby 2-2 Brentford

    Wayne Rooney's Derby pull off a great comeback to earn a point against promotion contenders Brentford.

    The Bees were rampant in the first half, scoring through Ivan Toney's penalty and Sergi Canos' strike, and should've been further ahead.

    But the Rams were a different side after the break and drew level thanks to Lee Gregory's tap-in and Louie Sibley's fine strike.

    Luton 2-0 Coventry

    The end of a pretty low-key second half at Kenilworth Road.

    Both sides missed chances but Coventry - who played for 10 men for more than 45 minutes - could not mount a comeback.

    They remain in trouble, while Luton look set for another season in the Championship.

    Derby sub Tom Lawrence strikes from 25 yards but Brentford keeper David Raya hold onto the ball.

    Cardiff 0-0 Stoke

    So close to a bizarre late goal at the Cardiff City Stadium and it's the hosts who almost lead against Stoke.

    Will Vaulks' long throw into the box is spilled by Adam Davies and out for another corner.

    At the other end, Joe Allen heads against the crossbar. How is this goalless?!

    Derby have come back from two goals down to level!

    It's a lovely curling finish from sub Louie Sibley, who jinks onto his left foot and finds the far corner from outside the box.

    Wayne Rooney has made some great changes and his side now have the momentum.

    Cardiff 0-0 Stoke

    Biggest chance in this game has gone to Cardiff and somehow Kieffer Moore's not put the Bluebirds into a late lead against Stoke.

    He works onto a long ball as he's onside as he sneaks past the Potters' back line, but his follow up effort with just the keeper to beat bobbles wide.

    Derby 1-2 Brentford

    They're in the last 10 minutes at Pride Park and Derby have lost their way a tad.

    Brentford are taking the sting out of things with lots of possession, and Wayne Rooney's Rams need to find a second wind.

    Middlesbrough 2-0 Preston

    Do Middlesbrough have a third goal in them against 10-man Preston?

    Well Marvin Johnson almost catches out Lilywhites keeper Daniel Iversen from a cross from long range but it sails past the far post.

    Rotherham 1-4 Watford

    On another night Rotherham might have got something from this.

    Matt Crooks heads over the bar from just a few yards out, when it looked easier to score.

    Watford have been in second gear since the break but they have a big enough lead to get away with it.

    Cardiff 0-0 Stoke

    Will we have a late goal in this one?

    Well Stoke come close to finding the net in the final 15 minutes against Cardiff as Jon Obi Mikel makes space and tries his luck but Bluebirds keeper Dillon Phillips is on hand to save.

    Derby 1-2 Brentford

    Derby continue to look lively as they chase a leveller, but they've lost Colin Kazim-Richards to injury and Tom Lawrence is on in his place as he returns from an injury of his own.

    The home side haven't allowed Brentford to dictate play since the break.

  19. League Two latestpublished at 20:36 Greenwich Mean Time 16 March 2021

    In the Potteries, Newport have levelled things at Port Vale through Jake Scrimshaw.

    Bournemouth 2-0 Swansea

    Work to do for Swansea as they go two goals down to Bournemouth right on the verge of the break.
