Well, well - goals aplently in the Championship tonight but all one way for Fulham.

They romp back to second place while Reading will be hurting from that defeat.

Our match report is live and available to read on the link below and will develop through the evening with more reaction.

For now, we'll leave our EFL coverage there before we return with more later this week.

Thanks for being with us once again!

At the other end of the table, it's not looking too hot for Reading, whose morale must be rock-bottom after this defeat coming on top of Saturday's FA Cup humbling at non-league Kidderminster.

Here's what's tonight's result has done at the top of the Championship.

Not only have Fulham reclaimed second place after five games without a win, but their goal difference has been given a healthy boost.

As if losing at home to a hat-trick being scored by one of your old players wasn't bad enough, Sunderland boss Lee Johnson is facing a touchline ban.

A nasty challenge in front of the dugout late in the Lincoln City's 3-2 win saw a fracas on the pitch between some players.

Johnson became involved and the former Bristol City boss - who had been taunted by Chris Maguire after his opening goal for the Imps - was sent to the stands.

One to forget for Johnson and Sunderland.....

As about as emphatic as you can get....

Fulham romp home and back up to second with a huge win.

Reading are thumped and their fans voice their disapproval as much as they can as the final whistle blows.

Is that curtains for boss Veljko Paunovic?

Ironic cheers as Reading force a corner....

Still no luck though for the hosts as a foul is given against Andy Carroll as Marek Rodak tried to punch it clear.

Two minutes being added on.

Time for an eighth goal?!

All getting a bit petulant now in the closing stages as Aleksandar Mitrovic ruffles the feather of Tom Holmes after a few words are said after an offside flag goes up.

Almost the nightmare over for Reading in this one.

There's no stopping Forest Green Rovers at the moment after a 2-0 win at Colchester United.

Jamille Matt's early goal and a second in stoppage time from Josh March puts the Gloucestershire side nine points clear at the top of League Two.

Second-placed Tranmere Rovers could only draw 1-1 at mid-table Salford City.

Aramide Oteh had put the hosts ahead but Paul Glatzel levelled with 20 minutes to go.

Earlier Mansfield Town came away with a 3-2 win at home to Swindon Town.

It's all over at the Stadium of Light and Lincoln City's Chis Maguire will be taking home the match ball and a very warm glow after their 3-1 win.

Released by Sunderland in the summer he made no secret of his opinions of Black Cats boss Lee Johnson after blasting the Imps ahead in the first half.

He got a second after the break before Ross Stewart pulled one back.

But Maguire had the last laugh with a good finish for the third as Sunderland remain second after blowing the chance to go three points clear at the top of League One.

Lincoln move up to 16th place as a result of the win.

Elsewhere Milton Keynes Dons were 1-0 winners at home over rivals AFC Wimbledon after the visitors were reduced to 10 men in the first half following two bookings for Nesta Guinness-Walker

Almost seven!

Bobby Decordova-Reid has a near-post header pushed over the crossbar by Luke Southwood from Neeskens Kebano's corner.

James Elliott: Get the brackets ready... Up the Fulham!

Still 10 minutes plus stoppages to play in this one...

Can Fulham match (or even better) the seven they scored on the road earlier this season at Blackburn before we finish?

More changes for Fulham as Harrison Reed is replaced by Nathaniel Chalobah, a former Reading loanee several seasons back.

Harry Wilson earlier made way for Rodrigo Muniz after that sixth goal.

"Manchester City, we're coming for you!" chant the Fulham fans behind the goal to my right.

Absolutely sublime stuff this from the west Londoners.

Sunderland's impending defeat at home to Lincoln City is music to the ears of Wycombe Wanderers fans.

The Chairboys are now 2-0 up at Bolton Wanderers - Jack Grimmer's 52nd-minute goal in the late kick-off means as it stands Gareth Ainsworth's third-placed side are just a point off Sunderland.

Meanwhile, 10-man AFC Wimbledon still trail 1-0 at Milton Keynes Dons.

Time finally for a Fulham change.

Fabio Carvalho makes way for Bobby Decordova-Reid to come on and join the fun.

There's less than 10 minutes left in our two remaining League Two matches.

The fourth tier's leaders Forest Green remain 1-0 up against Colchester United after Jamille Matt's first-half strike.

It looks like they will go nine points clear after second-placed Tranmere pulled a goal back at Salford City - Paul Glatzel's 70th-minute strike has pulled it back to 1-1.
