  1. goal

    GOAL: Birmingham City 2-1 Readingpublished at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 17 March 2021

    Harlee Dean (71 mins)

    Well, this is almost a goal out of nothing to give Birmingham City the lead again.

    Corner in from the left is kept alive by the hosts on a couple of occasions and it falls to Harlee Dean to power in a header past an outstretched Rafael.

    Could be huge for Blues.

  2. CLOSE!published at 21:09 Greenwich Mean Time 17 March 2021

    Blackburn 0-0 Bristol City

    It's taken 60 minutes but we've finally had a decent chance at Ewood Park.

    Nakhi Wells flies down the right and produces a cross which Kasey Palmer gets on the end of, but his volley is saved by Thomas Kaminski.

    Sheff Wed 1-0 Huddersfield

    Pipa attempts a curling effort but it lands straight in the arms of Keiren Westwood.

    Nothing else to mention so far in the second half here.

    Birmingham City 1-0 Reading

    10 minutes into the second half and Lucas Joao's found himself on the receiving end of a couple of niggly challenges so far for Reading.

    Looks like he has his boot clipped by Gary Gardner in the area as he tries to get a bouncing ball under control for a turn and shot.

    Nothing given.

    Blackburn 0-0 Bristol City

    A chance for Bristol City to open the scoring as Thomas Kaminski got the ball stuck under his feet inside his own area, and Nahki Wells is ready and waiting to make the most of the keeper's error, but Kaminski recovers the ball and clears it wide.

    Matt Ransome: Norwich are looking like the best Championship team ever at the moment. 3 points better off than Wolves were when they stormed it and on target for highest ever points.

    But Farke won't win manager of the year. Man never wins anything. Except games haha

    Wycombe Wanderers 1-3 Barnsley

    Barnsley make it nine wins from 10 and 12 unbeaten.

    They lost Alex Mowatt to a red card, but it didn't affect the outcome as Daryl Dike's brace and Cauley Woodrow's penalty could see them climb up to fifth later.

    Wycombe had a go right until the end with a couple more chances in injury time, but they will stay at least two points adrift at the bottom.

    QPR 3-2 Millwall

    A goal-filled evening sees QPR overturn a two-goal deficit to score three second-half goals for all three points.

    That was a brilliant performance from Mark Warburton's side who never backed down against Millwall - who haven't won at QPR since 1989.

    It's three wins in their last four for the hosts who are now back level on points with Millwall.

    Uche Ikpeazu (85 mins)

    Consolation goal for Wycombe.

    Uche Ikpeazu slots the ball under the body of Brad Collins after Adebayo Akinfenwa had won the ball in the air and slotted it across the area towards him.

    A case of what might have been for the Chairboys yet again.

    Nottingham Forest 0-2 Norwich City

    Last five minutes at the City Ground.

    Norwich heading towards re-establishing their 10-point lead at the top.

    Forest have had a go this second half, but there's just been too much for them to do after the visitors' early rout.

    Daryl Dike (81 mins)

    Down to 10 men, doesn't matter for Barnsley....

    A third goal of the night and a second for in-form Daryl Dike wraps up the three points.

    Callum Brittain with a low cross in from the right that Dike gets to first on the six-yard line to stab home his fifth goal in seven games.

    QPR 2-2 Millwall

    It's end-to-end at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, with both sides doing their best to get ahead.

    Ilias Chair has just come on and made an instant impact, delivering a cross for Charlie Austin but Bartosz Bialkowski denies a third for the hosts.

  18. RED CARD (Alex Mowatt)published at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 17 March 2021

    Barnsley reduced to 10 men with just over 15 minutes still to play.

    Skipper Alex Mowatt shown a straight red card for a lunging two-footed challenge on Wycombe striker Scott Kashket.

    No hesitation from referee Darren Bond in giving him his marching orders.
