    GOAL: Peterborough 0-1 QPRpublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Ilias Chair (51 mins)

    It's gone in direct from a corner!

    It's Ilias Chair who will claim it - his cross causes a mix-up among Peterborough defenders at the near post and goes all the way in.

    Everyone is bemused at the Weston Homes Stadium.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    West Brom 2-0 Bristol City

    They've finally reached half-time at the Hawthorns where, despite delays and stoppages, West Brom have been dominant.

    Jordan Hugill put them ahead, and should've had more, with Kyle Bartley heading in a second.

    Bristol City have looked well off the pace.

  4. Deeney 'still has hunger'published at 16:08 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Troy Deeney is leading from the front and that's what you want.

    There was a lot of talk when he decided to move from Watford.

    He's still got that hunger and fight and he's doing it this afternoon against Swansea.

    Deeeeeneeeeeey!

    Troy Deeney gets his second goal for Birmingham City, deservedly breaking the deadlock by slotting home a brilliant pass from loannee Tahith Chong.

    Squad Goals

    They call the style 'Val-ball' with Valerien Ismael now at West Brom.

    A lot of Baggies fans aren't happy with the way they play, but they're at the right end of the Championship.

    2-0 up at half-time, you can't argue with that.

    They're getting back under way for the second half across most of the grounds in the EFL.

  8. INJURY TIMEpublished at 16:00 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    West Brom 2-0 Bristol City

    TEN minutes have been added at the end of the first half.

    That's largely because of a lengthy stoppage for an injury to Bristol City defender Nathan Baker.

    The game also started 15 minutes late after a medical emergency involving a fan in the home end.

    GOAL: West Brom 2-0 Bristol Citypublished at 15:56 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Kyle Bartley (42 mins)

    Those Darnell Furlong long-throws are lethal.

    The West Brom full-back launches one into the box, where Kyle Bartley leaps high to head in a deserved second for the hosts.

  13. League One updatepublished at 15:54 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Ryan Tafazolli gives Wycombe the lead against Crewe, which pulls them above Sunderland and up into the automatic promotion places.

    At the other end of the table, that puts the Alex six points adrift of safety, with Doncaster now winning 2-0 at home to Cheltenham.

    Tom Anderson has powered in a vital header in added time for a side who have really struggled this season.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Millwall 0-1 Stoke

    Stoke shading it at the break.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Birmingham 0-0 Swansea

    Goalless in Birmingham, but Blues will be kicking themselves having seen a Scott Hogan strike ruled out for offside and Gary Gardner missing an open goal early on.

  16. Wilder the next Cardiff boss?published at 15:50 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Squad Goals

    Chris Wilder has been mentioned before. Cardiff need somebody to come in there and sort them out.

    Do they get someone younger in from the academy? I don't think that's what Cardiff need.

    Cardiff City have sacked manager Mick McCarthy after defeat by Middlesbrough today.

  17. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Coventry 1-0 Derby

    Coventry's half as Matthew Godden's penalty is the difference at the break.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    West Brom 1-0 Bristol City

    Ouch.

    Bristol City's George Tanner - moments after that horrible backpass - is hooked off by Nigel Pearson, with the more experienced Danny Simpson on at full-back in his place.

    They've been firmly second best throughout.

  19. League One updatepublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    It was one of the most hotly-anticipated games in League One today, with sixth-placed MK Dons hosting fifth-placed Rotherham.

    Make that fourth, as Michael Ihiekwe has put Paul Warne's away side in front.

    Elsewhere, a Michael Bostwick own goal has doubled the advantage of Karl Robinson's Oxford side.

  20. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:47 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    West Brom 1-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City are almost architects of their own downfall.

    A woeful attempted backpass from George Tanner puts Jordan Hugill through on goal but his shot is excellently tipped behind by visiting keeper Dan Bentley.

    Hugill could/should've had a first-half hat-trick for West Brom.
