  2. RED CARD - Kelle Roos

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Derby

    RoosRex Features

    Dear oh, dear. Derby have had goalkeeper Kelle Roos sent off against Sheffield United.

    It comes after Billy Sharp works on to Oli Norwood's delivery and Roos takes him out.

    Initially a free-kick was given to the hosts, but the referee later decides to show red.

    Wayne Rooney throws Ryan Allsop on as his side face another half an hour with 10 players.

    Sean Morrison

    Is the fightback on?

    Sean Morrison has pulled a goal back for Cardiff just after Tyrhys Dolan had put Blackburn 4-0 up.

  4. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 2-0 Hull

    Nick Powell

    PowellRex Features

    He's gone close a couple of times, but this time Nick Powell makes no mistake.

    The ex-Manchester United man shows his quality to curl in a wonderful long-range free-kick into the net.

    It's a long way back for Hull now.

  5. Joe Thompson
    Former Rochdale and Tranmere midfielder on Squad Goals

    Another impressive youngster is Tyrhys Dolan.

    I'm not surprised he's got a goal, Tony Mowbray's given him a lot of space to express himself and he's really taken the opportunity.

    He's very raw, tenacious and keen to impress.

  6. Bournemouth 2-0 Luton

    Great stop from Bournemouth keeper Mark Travers to keep out a deflected Henri Lansbury free-kick.

    Luton having a small amount of joy as they chase down a score.

  7. Stoke 1-0 Hull

    Stoke have come out all guns blazing looking to add to their half-time advantage.

    Nick Powell, who went close with a header in the first period, has forced Matt Ingram into a smart save already.

    Hull are the Championship's lowest scorers with five and they really need one to go in for them soon.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Blackburn 4-0 Cardiff

    Tyrhys Dolan

    Tryhys Dolan continues the rout for Blackburn as he turns the ball home with a cool finish.

    He somersaults in celebration after finding Rovers' fourth goal against Cardiff.

    Such fine form the young midfielder is in at the minute.

  9. Blackpool 1-0 Barnsley

    Shayne Lavery is hungry for more having given Blackpool the lead against Barnsley just before the break.

    He tries to work onto a pass inside the box to try and double his tally for the afternoon but his effort is saved by the visitors.

  10. Birmingham 0-0 Preston

    Birmingham are putting Preston under pressure after the restart at St Andrew's and they're almost ahead.

    Preston first block one shot off the line thanks to Ben Whiteman while North End keeper Daniel Iversen pulls off a fantastic save to deny Maxime Colin moments later to keep it goalless.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Nott'm Forest 1-1 Millwall

    Max Lowe (52 mins)

    Cross? Shot? Max Lowe doesn't care. All that counts is Nottingham Forest are level at home to Millwall on Steve Cooper's Reds bow.

    It was a delivery from wide which gave Bartosz Bialkowski all manner of issues, eventually nestling in his net.

    Freak, but more than welcome for the hosts.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Bristol City 0-1 Fulham

    Aleksandar Mitrovic (50 mins)

    FulhamRex Features

    Having just hit the woodwork, 'Mitro' - Aleksandar Mitrovic - stuffs one away for Fulham.

    Powerful header from a superb cross from Neeskens Kebano and teed up by Harry Wilson.

  13. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Bristol City 0-0 Fulham

    Aleksandar Mitrovic smacks the bar! Fulham edging closer...

    Tomas Kalas denies his old club Fulham with a big early block in the second-half.

  15. Who's this watching on at Rochdale?!

    Big SamRex Features

    A familiar face is in the stands watching Rochdale take on rock-bottom Oldham this afternoon.

    Unfortunately the presence of Sam Allardyce doesn't seem to have inspired the players on the pitch, with the game goalless at the break.

    Oldham really need a win and perhaps had the better the first half.

    A well-earned break is in order.

  20. goal

    GOAL: Blackburn 3-0 Cardiff

    Ben Brereton-Diaz

    BreretonRex Features

    What a half and what a season the Chile international is having!

    Ben Brereton-Diaz finds his second of the afternoon having dominated the proceedings down the left flank before he finds the net.

    Cardiff just can't deal with Blackburn at the minute.
