    GOAL: Middlesbrough 2-3 QPRpublished at 21:20 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Chris Willock (76 mins)

    My word! Some game this one!

    The 10 men of QPR re-take the lead as Chris Willock shows some great skill and composure.

    He wriggles his way left and the right and then left again inside the Boro area before making space and rolling in a left-foot effort past Joe Lumley.

    GOAL: Birmingham 0-1 Bournemouthpublished at 21:19 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Dominic Solanke (77 mins)

    Finally a goal in this one and Bournemouth get it through Dominic Solanke.

    Ben Pearson with one of his first involvements since coming off the bench sends a ball down the right channel that Solanke runs on to.

    He looks like he's being forced too wide but then rifles a low shot across goal to find the bottom left corner.

  4. goal

    GOAL: West Brom 4-0 Sheff Utdpublished at 21:17 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Callum Robinson (60 mins)

    This is getting ugly.

    Another long throw. The Sheffield United defence in disarray and Kyle Bartley flicks for Callum Robinson to finally tap in against his old club after already having two goals chalked off.

    The Blades were never this brittle under Chris Wilder, but West Brom have bullied them from the start.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 2-2 QPRpublished at 21:15 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Matt Crooks (72 mins)

    All square again!

    A fourth goal of the game comes from Matt Crooks to draw Boro level.

    Superb work and persistence down the left from Isaiah Jones who looked to have lost the ball and then won it back on the byline.

    He stepped up pulled it back to Crooks to fire goalwards on his right and it rifled into the roof of the net.

    Birmingham 0-0 Bournemouth

    Into the last 20 minutes and Birmingham make a change in attack with Chuks Aneke replacing Lukas Jutkiewicz up top.

  7. Postpublished at 21:13 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Middlesbrough 1-2 QPR

    Boro try to claw themselves back level against 10 men QPR.

    Isaiah Jones twists and turns his way towards the visiting penalty box but Seny Dieng is equal to his effort.

    QPR make a change and bring on Charlie Austin for Lyndon Dykes who appears to have picked up a knock.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Nottm Forest 1-1 Blackburnpublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Philip Zinckernagel (68 mins)

    Forest are back on level terms and it's a beauty.

    From outside the box on-loan Watford forward Philip Zinckernagel powers one with his left foot and it flies in off the inside of the post.

    Unstoppable.

  9. goal

    GOAL: West Brom 3-0 Sheff Utdpublished at 21:10 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Alex Mowatt (53 mins)

    This goal has Valerien Ismael written all over it!

    His West Brom side win the ball in the final third and Karlan Grant finds Alex Mowatt, whose finish is as calm as it gets.

    Sheffield United are in a mess.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:10 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Hull 0-1 Derby

    Four years after his previous game for Hull, midfielder Tom Huddlestone comes off the bench and into the Tigers midfield.

    The former England man spent three years at Derby between 2017-2020.

  11. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 21:07 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Birmingham 0-0 Bournemouth

    Birmingham think they are ahead in this one as Lukas Jutkiewicz heads in from a cross from the right..

    But there's an offside flag up in the build up. 65 minutes played and still no goals.

  12. goal

    GOAL: West Brom 2-0 Sheff Utdpublished at 21:04 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Dara O'Shea (47 mins)

    Sheffield United keeper Michael Verrips has dropped a clanger there and West Brom punish him.

    A corner comes in and he makes the ball look like a hot potato, allowing Dara O'Shea to hammer home.

    The Blades have left Aaron Ramsdale out tonight as he seemingly closes in on a move to Arsenal, and that error won't have made Slavisa Jokanovic feel any better about the situation.

  13. Second halfpublished at 21:02 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    West Brom 1-0 Sheff Utd

    The second half has started at The Hawthorns.

    Can Sheffield United find their first Championship goal of the season to get something from this?

  14. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-2 QPRpublished at 21:00 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Lyndon Dykes (56 mins)

    What a turnaround in this match!

    QPR may be down to 10 men, but suddenly they find themselves ahead after trailing at the break.

    Lyndon Dykes fires in a fine effort on his right from the edge of the box after Chris Willock had opened up the space with a neat diagonal ball after his run at the Boro defence.

  15. goal

    GOAL: Hull 0-1 Derbypublished at 20:59 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Sam Baldock (57 mins)

    It's a debut Derby goal for Sam Baldock.

    It's a proper poacher's finish - Lee Buchanan's effort is split by Matt Ingram and Baldock is on hand to gobble up the rebound from just a few yards out.

    Hull had started this second half well but they can't argue with being behind on the overall balance of play.

  16. Postpublished at 20:59 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Birmingham 0-0 Bournemouth

    55 minutes played and still no sign of a way through for either side.

    Bournemouth yet to find any real rhythm coming forward.

  17. Postpublished at 20:57 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Nottm Forest 0-1 Blackburn

    It's getting a bit fiery at the City Ground.

    Forest midfielder Jack Colback goes in late on John Buckley and some pushing and shoving follows.

    Colback then receives a yellow card.

  18. RED CARD (Moses Odubajo)published at 20:54 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Middlesbrough 1-1 QPR

    And straight after that leveller for QPR, they find themselves reduced to 10 men.

    Moses Odubajo picks up a second yellow card as he hauls down Isaiah Jones just on the edge of his own penalty area.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-1 QPRpublished at 20:52 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Jonny Howson OG (48 mins)

    QPR find the leveller that they were threatening before half-time.

    But it's come in slightly fortunate fashion as Jonny Howson diverts the ball into his own net.

    Lee Wallace's cross from the left was sent into the "corridor of uncertainty" if you like and Howson had to made a decision to try and stop it getting to a waiting QPR player.

  20. Postpublished at 20:51 British Summer Time 18 August 2021

    Birmingham 0-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth start the second half the brighter of the two teams at St Andrew's.

    Jaidon Anthony almost finds himself side-footing an effort on target from just inside the penalty area but it squirms fairly harmlessly wide for a goal kick.
