    Coventry 2-1 Reading

    And that's the final whistle. Wow.

    It's almost a carbon copy of their win over Nottingham Forest on the opening weekend, when Coventry scoring a 96th-minute winner. This was even later!

    Isn't it great to have fans back at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Reading are dejected but their negative approach in the second half came back to bite them.

    Matty Godden (90+8 mins)

    Last minute drama for Coventry!

    Their two chief creators - Gustavo Hamer and Callum O'Hare - combine to tee up Matty Godden, who provides the finish.

    It's the least they deserve.

    Bournemouth 2-2 Blackpool

    All over on the south coast and Blackpool seal a point against Bournemouth.

    Dominic Solanke's double had sent the Cherries ahead but the visitors fought back for a well-earned point.

    Preston 1-0 Peterborough

    They did it the hard way but Preston are off the mark with their first points of the season.

    Patrick Bauer's early header proved enough but Frankie McAvoy's side had countless chances to make the game safe.

    A bad day at the office for newly promoted Peterborough.

    Derby 0-0 Middlesbrough

    No goals in this one despite a plethora of chances for Middlesbrough.

    In the scheme of things, that's not too bad of a point for Derby, mind.

    Blackburn 1-2 West Brom

    All over at Ewood Park and, despite Blackburn's valiant comeback, West Brom hold on.

    Luton 0-5 Birmingham

    No, Birmingham fans, your eyes aren't deceiving you, that really is the full-time score.

    A double for Scott Hogan, plus goals for Marc Roberts, Gary Gardner and Chuks Aneke see Lee Bowyer's side run riot.

    Luton boss Nathan Jones is understandably far from pleased.

    Billy Sharp (90+2 mins)

    Blimey, what a get out of jail card Sheffield United have played!

    Bournemouth 2-2 Blackpool

    One of the turnarounds of the day has seen Blackpool fight to level 2-2 against Bournemouth.

    But there could be a fair amount of time added on on the south coast due to a delay following an injury to Blackpool midfielder Grant Ward.

    Is there a late winner left in this fixture?

    Chuks Aneke (88 mins)

    This has turned into a proper thrashing.

    It's a goalmouth scramble - Jeremie Bela is denied but Chuks Aneke forces the ball home.

    An afternoon to remember for Birmingham.
