    That's as far as we go here this evening.

    Luton Town 2-1 Bristol City

    The three points go to Luton thanks to their two goals from set plays. Bristol City again having lots of possession and chances around the box, but lacking that clinical final touch.

  6. Papa John’s Trophy quarter-finals latestpublished at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    Sutton United overcome Harrogate to become the final team through to the semi-finals.

    Ex-Arsenal man Craig Eastmond scored with 10 minutes remaining to keep their hopes of winning the trophy alive.

    They join Rotherham, Hartlepool and Wigan in the hat.

    QPR 0-0 Swansea City

    No goals to speak of as it ends 0-0 in west London. A point apiece feels like a fair result, with both sides having decent chances but being unable to convert them into anything.

  8. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    Birmingham 2-2 Peterborough

    Peterborough looked to be cruising to a 2-0 win that would have meant they were only in the relegation zone on goal difference but two late goals from Gay Gardner and Scott Hogan rescued a point for Blues.

    Posh boss Darren Ferguson will not be a happy man.

    Coventry 1-0 Stoke

    Coventry get back on track thanks to Viktor Gyokeres' strike.

    They're not four points off the play-off places with a couple of games in hand.

    Nottingham Forest 3-0 Barnsley

    Easy as that for upwardly mobile Forest.

    Three goals and four wins in a row as they close th gap on the play-off places to one point.

    Barnsley remain bottom of the table.

    Luton Town 2-1 Bristol City

    Andi Weimann has been Bristol City's best player of the night and almost earns a point for his side. His header is at a tight angle though and it goes wide, and Nakhi Wells can only find the side netting.

    That might have been City's golden chance.

  12. League One latestpublished at 21:39 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    Fleetwood have scored an injury-time equaliser to make it 3-3 with Plymouth!

    It's a very scruffy goalmouth scramble with Anthony Pilkington the man who finally gets it into the net by hook or by crook!

    Wes Burns has his second to ensure Ipswich will leave Wimbledon with all three points.

    Coventry 1-0 Stoke

    The home side look to wrap this up in time added on but Callum O'Hare sends his shot wide of the target.

    QPR 0-0 Swansea City

    Swansea will see out the last three minutes of the match with 10 men, as Flynn Downes is sent off for his second booking of the night.

    He comes together with Charlie Austin and the pair start pulling at each others' shirts and eventually tussle onto the ground. Austin also goes into the referee's book, with a yellow.

    Birmingham 2-2 Peterborough

    It should be 3-2!

    Jordan Graham sends in an absolute beauty of a cross but Lukas Jutkiewicz mistimes his header completely.

  16. League Two latestpublished at 21:35 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    Newport look like they have claimed a late victory over Leyton Orient thanks to Cameron Norman’s strike following a flicked-on corner.

    Bradford are doing likewise thanks to Andy Cook’s late penalty – he really meant that – smashing it down the middle!

    It’s got even easier for Bristol Rovers who are now 3-1 up against Scunthorpe thanks to Leon Clarke.

    Luton Town 2-1 Bristol City

    Bristol City are pressing for an equaliser to at least get something out of this game.

    Andi Weimann comes close to getting his second, but his shot on the spin goes over the bar.

    QPR 0-0 Swansea City

    What a let off for QPR!

    Michael Obafemi finds the back of the net for the visitors, but the offside flag comes to the rescue for Rangers and rules his goal out.

    Looks like they CAN salvage something from this!

    Scott Hogan heads in from close range as Birmingham overturn the 2-0 deficit in double-quick time.

    Could they win this?!

    It's amazing. Blues get some width on the pitch, get two good balls into the box and get two goals.

    QPR 0-0 Swansea City

    Chance for the hosts! QPR have as good an opportunity as any we've seen tonight to take the lead, but Lyndon Dykes' shot is directed straight at Ben Hamer, who keeps the ball out pretty much by standing right where he is.

    George Thomas and Moses Odubajo combine to pick out Dykes, who's alone right in the middle of the box. Yet despite having time to set up his shot, it goes straight at the keeper.
