  1. Historic goal for Sutton

    Forest Green Rovers 1-1 Sutton United

    Squad Goals

    “That’ll be absolutely massive. They said they’ve got no nerves coming into this and they’ve kept the spine of the team together.

    "They’ve got a massive job on their hands as it was such a short turnaround and a tricky period with things like sorting out 3G pitch so it’s a massive goal.

    "It's such a community club as well. That’s fantastic.”

    Sutton's first ever EFL goal has been scored by ex-Forest Green man Omar Bugiel!

  2. Derby 1-1 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield are pressing for a second now.

    The lively Sorba Thomas sends in a dangerous cross that Matty Pearson heads just over the crossbar.

  3. goal

    GOAL: Luton 3-0 Peterborough

    Fred Onyedinma (69 mins)

    Game, set and match for Luton.

    Yet more great wingplay from the hosts, Fred Onyedinma belting the ball in after his initial volley was saved.

    The Hatters forward has been top-class and deserves that.

  4. Sunderland 2-1 Wigan

    Joe Thompson
    Former Rochdale and Tranmere midfielder on Squad Goals

    Sunderland celebrateRex Features

    "I bet you the fans are going absolutely ballistic in the stadium!

    Sunderland have come from behind to lead Wigan.

  5. Blackburn 2-1 Swansea

    Swansea have responded well since going 2-0 down and Thomas Kaminski in the home goal has to be alert to keep out Liam Cullen's shot.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Luton 2-0 Peterborough

    Harry Cornick (66 mins)

    It took Harry Cornick until late-April to score his first Luton goal last season but the forward has wasted no time this time around.

    Fred Onyedinma has been a menace for the Hatters - it's his low cross that Cornick turns home from close range.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Preston 1-2 Hull

    Richie Smallwood (62 mins)

    Hull have come from behind to lead.

    It'll go down as a Richie Smallwood goal but his low shot took at least one deflection before sneaking in off the post.

    Preston have not had luck on their side today.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Cardiff 1-1 Barnsley

    Toby Sibbick (69 mins)

    The visitors level it up in South Wales.

    Defender Toby Sibbick advances into the Cardiff area and his shot has too much on it for Dillon Phillips in the home goal.

  9. Cambridge feeling Mullin loss?

    Cambridge 0-1 Oxford

    Joe Thompson
    Former Rochdale and Tranmere midfielder on Squad Goals

    "I think it must be personal reasons but maybe financial reasons as well.

    "He scored 34 goals last year and that’s a huge loss for Cambridge particularly going up a league.

    "They need someone to galvanise them and score some goals.”

    Paul Mullin was prolific for Cambridge last season but made a surprise move to National League Wrexham over the summer.

  10. Derby 1-1 Huddersfield

    The visitors have had the better of it since the break but it remains level at Pride Park.

    Derby's bench is made up almost entirely of youth team players so Wayne Rooney does not have much in reserve to change things around.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 2-2 Reading

    Liam Moore (61 mins)

    Liam Moore scores with a headerRex Features

    Reading equalise for a second time!

    It's a bullet Liam Moore header from a John Swift corner which brings the Royals level.

    That's come against the run of play.

  12. Tranmere 0-0 Walsall

    It's happening!

    Walsall supporters, you happy with a Tranmere super fan taking over?

    #bbcefl

    Mark Bravery: Sutton United have played their first 45 minutes as an EFL club and are 1-0 down at Forest Green Rovers.

    Not outclassed but mistakes are likely to be punished at this level.

  14. GREAT SAVE!

    QPR 1-1 Millwall

    Bartosz Bialkowski is a Championship stalwart and the Millwall keeper makes a top-drawer diving save to keep out Chris Willock's curling shot.

    It's pulsating stuff at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

  15. Tranmere 0-0 Walsall

    Mike Dean is in the stands at Prenton Park and the lino has an injury.

    Is a late substitution on the cards?

  16. PENALTY APPEAL

    Luton 1-0 Peterborough

    Peterborough want a penalty as the ball appears to hit the hand of Luton defender Kal Naismith from a corner.

    Referee Andy Woolmer is nonplussed.

  17. Blackburn 2-1 Swansea

    Sanny Rudravajhala
    Presenter, Squad Goals

    Ben Brereton Diaz was born in Stoke but said in an interview in around 2019 that his mum is from Chile and someone from Football Manager picked up on this.

    A social media campaign eventually reached the Chilean FA which made an approach and he made his debut in Copa America. They love him!

  18. goal

    GOAL: Blackburn 2-1 Swansea

    Jamie Paterson (52 mins)

    A debut goal for Jamie Paterson gets the visitors back in it.

    Paterson's shot from the edge of the area deceives home goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Cardiff 1-0 Barnsley

    Marlon Pack (54 mins)

    Cardiff have probably had the better of it and they now have the goal to show for it.

    Marlon Pack heads home from a corner for Mick McCarthy's men.

  20. Preston 1-1 Hull

    They're a bit behind at Deepdale, where they've only just started the second half.

    Preston have made a double change, goalscorer Emil Riis Jakobsen and Greg Cunningham making way for Brad Potts and Sepp van den Berg.
