    Swansea City 0-1 Derby County

    Derby still on top after Tom Lawrence's goal as Martyn Waghorn and Nathan Byrne combine well down the right.

    Byrne tries to stand up another cross from the right but can't find a team-mate on this occasion.

    GOAL: Preston 2-0 Barnsleypublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 1 May 2021

    Ched Evans (49 mins)

    Preston are 2-0 up now against Barnsley and they deserve their lead.

    Tom Barkhuizen sends a long throw into the Tykes' box and it's headed into the path of Ched Evans who pokes in from close range.

    Stoke 0-1 QPR

    Sam Clucas's short corner meets Jordan Thompson who tries to pick out Harry Souttar but QPR defend well and it's cleared.

    A bright start for the hosts as they seek an equaliser.

  6. 'Magnificent header from Lawrence'published at 16:09 British Summer Time 1 May 2021

    Swansea 0-1 Derby

    Joe Thompson
    Former Rochdale and Tranmere midfielder on Squad Goals

    It's a magnificent header at the back post from Tom Lawrence.

    Wayne Rooney looks like he is doing it and if Derby can hold on to that lead it will be a massive three points.

    Swansea City 0-1 Derby County

    What a huge moment that Tom Lawrence goal could be.

    It could mean all the big matters at the top and the bottom of the table are decided even before the last round of matches.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Brentford 1-0 Watfordpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 1 May 2021

    Marcus Forss (46 mins)

    Brentford are ahead in the early stages of the second half against Watford and it's Marcus Forss!

    It comes from good play from Sergi Canos to play across goal to Forss who makes no mistake at the far post.

    If it stays like this, Norwich will win the Championship title.

    Tom Lawrence (48 mins)

    Big goal!

    Derby County take the lead early in the second half and Wales international Tom Lawrence is the man who heads them ahead from Nathan Byrne's cross from the right.

    Connor Roberts the man he snuck in front of.

    That means Wycombe, Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday are all going down as it stands.

    Lincoln are 2-0 up at Peterborough. Still a long way to go but Peterborough have their work cut out to confirm automatic promotion from League One this afternoon.

    Jorge Grant is the man on target for Lincoln from the penalty spot.

  18. Postpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 1 May 2021

    Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 Bournemouth

    Couple of chances at either end in this one.

    Anthony Stewart almost heads Wycombe 2-0 ahead but Sam Surridge is there on the line to head it clear.

    At the other end, Rodrigo Riquelme does well to get a ball across from the left for Bournemouth but it flashes across the six-yard box with nobody able to get a telling final touch.

    Unlucky for the visitors who are hunting an equaliser.

  20. goal

    GOAL: Birmingham 0-2 Cardiffpublished at 15:42 British Summer Time 1 May 2021

    Harry Wilson (40 mins)

    Two for Cardiff and two for Harry Wilson who adds another magnificent strike to his tally for the day.

    It comes from a free-kick 30 yards outside the Birmingham box and the on-loan Liverpool man fires it low and into the bottom left corner.
