    Fulham 2-0 Stoke City

    GOAL: Millwall 1-1 Blackpoolpublished at 16:23 British Summer Time 28 August 2021

    Jed Wallace (63 mins)

    When Millwall need some inspiration, Jed Wallace is usually the man to provide it.

    Blackpool give away a free-kick 25 yards out in perfect Wallace territory, and his set-piece gives Chris Maxwell no chance.

    They were behind for only seven minutes. Can the Lions complete the turnaround?

    Tyreece Simpson has struck just shy of the hour mark to put Swindon ahead at home to Mansfield.

    Port Vale are still 2-0 against Forest Green and Salford are three goals to the good against Newport.

    "I mentioned in the first half that Blackpool were down to 10 men but Shayne Lavery has got the goal - his fourth of the season so far.

    Preston extend their lead early in the second half as Ben Whiteman curls in a free-kick.

    Swansea keeper Steven Benda was booked in the build-up for bringing down Emil Riis just outside the box.

    Jim: We need to get used to this kind of game, and fast.

    Mark: Hardest thing in the game is what we need to improve....create more, shoot more, score more.

    Jordan: When we play it on the ground and not 'League One hoof ball,' the team looks fantastic and composed.

    The Owls are unbeaten and haven't conceded a goal, but they haven't been able to find a way past Morecambe this afternoon yet.

    Nothing to separate the teams in that opening half, and no shots on target, although Luton were the better side.
