    The visitors take the lead on the stroke of half-time, somewhat against the run of play.

    The Robins break away and Chris Martin rounds off the move for his third league goal of the campaign.

    Nigel Pearson's men are looking for a third straight away win in the Championship.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Nott'm Forest

    Forest are defending deep and given their start to the season you can't blame them.

    Long way to go in this though and Huddersfield scored three second half goals to beat Blackpool 3-0 in midweek.

    You are judged on results and Bristol Rovers are 3-0 down. When the half-time whistle goes the fans will be heard.

    Millwall 1-1 Coventry

    Shortly after Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres sends a shot wide, Millwall have the ball in the Sky Blues net... but the flag is up for offside against Tom Bradshaw.

  5. Things looking bleak for Bartonpublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 18 September 2021

    League Two update

    Things are getting worse for Bristol Rovers, who could well drop into the relegation places if they lose today. They're currently three goals down at home to Leyton Orient, with Theo Archibald getting the second and Aaron Drinan the third for the visitors.

    Salford too are having a tricky afternoon. They conceded a penalty against Tranmere after just 13 minutes, and then saw Ibou Touray sent off not long after.

    Fulham 0-1 Reading

    Bobby Decordova-Reid spurns a glorious opening to drag Fulham level.

    The Jamaica international has a free header inside the box but sends it straight at Luke Southwood.

  7. CLOSE!published at 15:42 British Summer Time 18 September 2021

    Luton 3-0 Swansea

    So close to a first-half hat-trick for Elijah Adebayo as he chips an effort just wide of the target with the break approaching.

    It's three, but it could have been worse for the visitors.

    What will Russell Martin be saying to them at half-time? Keep it clean...

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:38 British Summer Time 18 September 2021

    QPR 0-0 Bristol City

    Robins goalkeeper Daniel Bentley makes a fine save to deny Rangers striker Andre Gray inside the box.

  9. Ipswich on course for first win?published at 15:36 British Summer Time 18 September 2021

    League One update

    Gillingham have had Stuart O'Keefe sent off and almost immediately MK Dons scored an equaliser thanks to Scott Twine, making it 1-1 at Priestfield Stadium.

    Elsewhere, Ipswich Town, searching for their first win of the season, have taken the lead away at Lincoln through a crucial goal from Macauley Bonne.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Derby 2-0 Stokepublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 18 September 2021

    Curtis Davies (34 mins)

    WOW.

    Derby might be in disarray off the field but they are in top form on it.

    Curtis Davies makes it 2-0 with a header from Graeme Shinnie's cross.

    Potters goalkeeper Joe Bursik will not want to see that again it should be said.

    You can only control what you can control and on a Saturday, as a player, you have the chance to make an impact.

    That's what Max Bird has done for Derby.

    Wayne Rooney will be telling his players to prove people wrong. Derby are an unbelieveable club but they are in turmoil at the moment.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Peterborough 2-0 Birmingham Citypublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 18 September 2021

    Jonson Clarke Harris (35 pen)

    Peterborough have stretched their lead before the break and it's a second Championship goal for Jonson Clarke-Harris.

    It's come from the spot after Jorge Grant was fouled by Ryan Woods who was booked for his troubles.

    Posh are looking good to end their four-game losing streak.

    Preston 1-0 West Brom

    Good chance for the visitors.

    Adam Reach's cross finds Matt Phillips in the area but he sends his volley wide.

    Fulham 0-1 Reading

    John Swift looks to add to his seven league goals this season and double Reading's lead.

    But the midfielder sends a dipping and swerving free-kick wide of the post.

    No less than they deserve!

    Max Bird marks his 21st birthday with a brilliant strike from 25 yards out.

    Derby might be facing administration and a huge points deduction but, on this evidence, the players are not giving up the fight whatsoever.

    Tranmere 1-0 Salford

    Jonny Crowther
    Squad Goals

    Salford haven't won a game yet away from home so Gary Bowyer would have been looking to have made a start today.

    But 1-0 down and down to 10 men is not a good start.

    Gary Bowyer is under pressure all the time as Salford boss. If they don't get a point he will be under huge pressure.

    Millwall 1-1 Coventry

    Coventry carve out a chance to retake the lead.

    Todd Kane sends a cross to Callum O'Hare at the back post, but he sends his header over the bar.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Nott'm Forest

    Town get in but Reds goalkeeper Brice Samba is off his line like a shot to deny Harry Toffolo.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 18 September 2021

    Fulham 0-1 Reading

    Danny Drinkwater is on for his Reading debut as a first-half sub.

    The 31-year-old midfielder, on loan from Chelsea, comes on for the injured Tom Holmes.

    It's Drinkwater's first league appearance in England since February 2020, when he was on loan at Aston Villa.

    Elijah Adebayo (23 mins)

    Incredible stuff from the Hatters!

    Elijah Adebayo has his second and his side's third inside the opening 23 minutes.

    One time Aston Villa man James Bree shows brilliant control before putting the chance on a plate for Adebayo to slot home.

    It's going from bad to worse for Swansea.
