    It's your lucky day...

    • West Brom went top by thrashing a woeful Cardiff 4-0 in the Welsh capital, Alex Mowatt's sumptuous half-volley the pick of the goals.
    • Danny Ward's double helped Huddersfield end Blackburn's five-match unbeaten run after a pulsating second half.
    • QPR picked up their first victory in five games as Ilias Chair scored in each half to see off an out-of-form Birmingham.
    • Tom Eaves rescued a draw for Championship strugglers Hull with a late equaliser against Blackpool.
    • Middlesbrough ended Sheffield United's excellent run of form with a fine 2-0 win as they recorded just their second league victory in eight matches.

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:41 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Luton 4-0 Coventry

    Coventry have been absolutely blown away at Kenilworth Road.

    Mark Robins' Sky Blues had conceded only six goals in nine games before tonight...

    But a double from Elijah Adebayo, plus goals from Harry Cornick and Luke Berry, have put Luton out of sight.

    Elijah Adebayo (45+7 mins)

    Luton are surely home and dry now. They've been devastating.

    James Bree gets in down the right and his cross is flicked on by the outstanding Harry Cornick for Elijah Adebayo to finish from close range.

    That's Adebayo's second on the night.

    Luton 3-0 Coventry

    We'll let you know when they reach half-time at Kenilworth Road.

    There's still a few minutes of added time to be played, with Luton still in control.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Barnsley 1-0 Nottm Forest

    Cauley Woodrow's early penalty sends Barnsley into the dressing rooms in the driving seat against Nottingham Forest.

    Work for Steve Cooper's side to do.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Fulham 3-1 Swansea

    All over in the first half at Craven Cottage and Aleksandar Mitrovic's hat-trick dominates the agenda as Fulham lead Swansea.

    The Serbian has now scored 10 goals in 10 Championship games this season.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Millwall 0-0 Bristol City

    Right on the verge of half-time, Benik Afobe heads towards goal as the Millwall striker tries his luck again.

    However, Daniel Bentley saves once again for Bristol City to keep it goalless at the break.

  10. INJURY TIMEpublished at 20:33 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Luton 3-0 Coventry

    We're into EIGHT minutes of added time at the end of the first half.

    If you've just joined us, medics treated a supporter in the away end midway through the half, which led to the game being halted for some time.

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Derby 1-0 Reading

    Wayne Rooney's Derby are halfway to their first win since going into administration last week.

    The lead through Craig Forsyth's first goal in more than five years.

    Reading have threatened at times but the Rams have certainly edged things at Pride Park.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Peterborough 0-0 Bournemouth

    There's not been much in this one at the Weston Homes Stadium.

    Bournemouth - who would go top with victory - have edged possession and came closest when Morgan Rogers saw a shot saved by David Cornell.

    But Peterborough deserve to be level at the break.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic hat-trick (45 mins)

    Aleksandar Mitrovic completes his hat-trick before half-time and it's the result of an absolutely dominant display for the Fulham striker.

    He works onto Denis Odoi's right-wing cross and places it into the corner.

    That's his second hat-trick in the Championship.

    Derby 1-0 Reading

    Now it's Reading's turn to threaten.

    Tom Dele-Bashiru's shot is beaten away by Ryan Allsop, who is able to hold onto John Swift's follow-up.

  15. Postpublished at 20:30 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Millwall 0-0 Bristol City

    Millwall are on top here and they're almost rewarded against Bristol City.

    Danny Ballard plays a one-two with Benik Afobe outside of the visitors' box but they just about clear their lines.

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:30 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Derby 1-0 Reading

    Tom Lawrence comes close to doubling Derby's advantage.

    Jason Knight cuts the ball back and Sam Baldock leaves it for the Wales forward, who beats his man but sees his attempted dink smothered by the impressive Reading keeper Luke Southwood.

  17. Postpublished at 20:26 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Luton 3-0 Coventry

    Have Coventry woken up?

    A short corner is worked into the box and Dominic Hyam heads into the side netting. Close.

    Jamie Paterson (38 mins)

    Game on!

    Jamie Paterson pulls one back for Swansea and it's a cracking goal. He picks up possession and drives towards the Fulham box before weaving a path past his marker and host keeper Paulo Gazzaniga before slotting home.

    Great finish.

    Barnsley 1-0 Nottm Forest

    What do Nottingham Forest have in response to Cauley Woodrow's penalty for Barnsley?

    Well, Joe Lolley has just driven a shot across the face of goal and out for a goal kick after being played through by Scott McKenna.

  20. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:21 British Summer Time 29 September 2021

    Millwall 0-0 Bristol City

    That should be 1-0.

    Millwall striker Benik Afobe is through on goal and puts a shot goalbound but visiting keeper Dan Bentley does well to thwart his efforts with a fine save.
