Well that just about does us for tonight and for 2021.

The next time we bring you live coverage of the English Football League, it'll be 2022.

We've had a fair bit of action across our matches tonight, let's hope it's the same when we return on New Year's Day.

For now, thank you for joining us.

And in League One, this is how the top of the tree looks heading into 2022.

Sunderland are top of the table after tonight's thumping 5-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday and two points clear of Rotherham.

The Millers do have a game in hand, however.

Here's how it looks at the bottom of the pile in the second tier.

Derby's miraculous run continues. They are now four points off 23rd-placed Barnsley and are 11 points away from 21st-placed Reading.

Here's how the top of the Championship looks going into the end of 2021.

Bournemouth pad out their lead at the top to four points following their win against Cardiff.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield make a late break into the play-off places thanks to their win at Nottingham Forest.

As comprehensive a victory as you would hope for if you're a Sunderland fan.

The Black Cats go top of the League One table and end the year on a high after Ross Stewart bags a hat-trick in their hammering of Sheffield Wednesday.

Well that was extraordinary.

City went ahead very early through Alex Scott, had chances to extend the lead.

Then conceded a silly penalty on the stroke of half-time that gave Charlie Austin the chance to level.

Andy King's red card left City with 10 men for 35 minutes but they weren't far from holding on.

Only for Yoann Barbet to stoop late and earn QPR a first win in three.

Derby see out five minutes of stoppage time for a third straight win.

Colin Kazim-Richards five minutes from time earning another three points for the Rams.

Stoke were uninspiring but Tom Ince levelled with 12 minutes to play after Luke Plange put Derby ahead in the first half.

Bournemouth move four points clear at the top of the Championship to end their 2021 on a high.

Meanwhile, it's a night to forget for Cardiff, who are well beaten and played the entire second half with 10 players after Leandro Bacuna's sending off on the verge of half-time.

A succession of chances for Nottingham Forest wasn't enough as Huddersfield hold on to seal three points.

Duane Holmes' goal ends the Terriers' 2021 with their third win in a row and they're up to sixth in the Championship.

Four minutes of stoppage time at the City Ground.

Four minutes for Nottingham Forest to get a leveller.

Four minutes for Huddersfield to hold on.

City trying to get on the front foot as time ticks down.

Neat play down the right wins them a corner and a shot from Alex Scott is well blocked.

QPR back up the other end and Chris Willock forces a good save from Max O'Leary.

Bournemouth are already home and dry but they're still piling the pressure on Cardiff.

Philip Billing strikes goalbound but Alex Smithies is on hand to deal with the danger for the visitors with just over five minutes of normal time remaining.

Time ticking down now for Nottingham Forest who, with just over 10 minutes remaining, still have nothing to show for their dominance.

Can Huddersfield hold on for the win here or are we in for some late drama in front of 27,000 at the City Ground?

This sums up Sheffield Wednesday's night.

Second half substitute Theo Corbeanu fires wide of the mark from distance.

Nothing troubling Sunderland tonight. They're heading top of League One in style.

Down to 10 men but life in Bristol City.

Antoine Semenyo darts down the right and drills a low cross across the face of goal but no-one can reach it.

But up the other end the defence has to be sharp to cut out a half-chance for Lyndon Dykes on his right foot.
