    Sutton have one foot in the semi-finals!

    Captain Craig Eastmond is quickest to react in the box as the ball drops following a corner and he smashed it home to put his side ahead.

    His 80th-minute strike doesn't give Harrogate much time to respond.

  3. League Two latestpublished at 21:20 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    Bristol Rovers are coasting their way to victory over struggling Scunthorpe, with Antony Evans' penalty making it 2-0.

    Salford are on the way to three points over Barrow thanks to Ashley Hunter's free-kick on the hour.

    Walsall have equalised at home to Bradford after Zak Mills’ well-struck volley from just outside the box took a big deflection off George Miller and completely wrong-footed goalkeeper Alex Bass after 57 minutes.

    QPR 0-0 Swansea City

    Still no goals to speak of at the Kiyan Prince Stadium with 15 minutes to go. It's all getting a bit heated though, with fouls and shoves all over the place. Swansea seem to be getting under QPR's skin.

    Indeed, Matt Grimes then doggedly wins the ball back and picks out Joel Latibeaudiere but his toe poke at goal rolls wide of the post

    Nottingham Forest 2-0 Barnsley

    Djed Spence gets forward really well and tees up Lewis Grabban but the veteran striker sees his close-range shot blocked.

  7. League One latestpublished at 21:16 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    Ipswich are ahead away at AFC Wimbledon through Wes Burns' strike shortly after the hour.

    The Tractor Boys know they have work to do to get into the play-off places but this will help.

    As for AFC Wimbledon they are precariously placed near the danger zone.

    Almost like the first goal, out of nothing Luton have re-taken the lead with a messy, messy goal.

    Cameron Pring gives away a free-kick and when the ball comes into the box it's a scramble and the Robins defence are unable to deal with it. Elijah Adebayo then taps it in from close range.

    We now know three of the four semi-finalists as Wigan have seen off Arsenal U21s thanks to Divin Baningime's late goal.

    Sutton v Harrogate is still goalless with just over 20 minutes left.

    BIG goal for the Sky Blues!

    It had been coming and Viktor Gyokeres is the man who claims it.

    The Swede takes aim from 20 yards and his dipping effort beats Jack Bonham in the Potters goal.

    The visitors double their lead!

    Callum Morton is felled in the area after a good run down the Posh left and Jonson Clarke-Harris neatly slots it into the bottom corner.

    It's a soft penalty to give away by Marc Roberts. There was no need to make that challenge.

    Hartlepool are into the semis!

    Jamie Sterry converts the decisive spot-kick as they knock out League One Charlton 5-4 on penalties.

    Rotherham have also made it into the last four courtesy of penalties.

    Goalkeeper Viktor Johansson is the hero as he saves Adam May's spot-kick to give the Millers a 7-6 win on penalties over Cambridge.

    Nottingham Forest 2-0 Barnsley

    Not too much doing so far in the second half in this one.

    Feels like a big ask for the visitors to get back into it.

    Nigel Pearson will be relieved as his most reliable goalscorer Andi Weimann gets his side back in it. Weimann, wearing the captain's armband tonight, is set up by Antoine Semenyo and slots the ball into the bottom corner.

    That's his 14th goal of the season.

    QPR 0-0 Swansea City

    Ooof we almost, almost had a breakthrough as Luke Amos hits the post for QPR. He makes a darting run down the right but his shot across goal just hits the inside of the woodwork.

    Luton Town 1-0 Bristol City

    Not much to note so far from the second half, as it's pretty scrappy and still pretty quiet from both sides. But the goal has clearly boosted the Hatters who are taking the match more to Bristol City than they were an hour ago.

  17. League One latestpublished at 20:58 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    Plymouth are back in front against Fleetwood, with Joe Edwards restoring the Pilgrims' lead after 49 minutes.

    The other three games are still 0-0.

    Come on lads!

  18. Papa John’s Trophy quarter-finals latestpublished at 20:55 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    Wigan lead late on against Arsenal!

    Divin Baningime latches on to a ball over the top before moving it onto his left foot and beating the goalkeeper to give his side a precious lead!

    It's finished 1-1 in the tie between Rotherham and Cambridge and that will now go to penalties.

    It's also spot-kicks for Hartlepool and Charlton after they couldn't be separated in normal time.

    QPR 0-0 Swansea City

    A decent chance from Swansea, as a well-worked ball comes into the box to Joel Piroe who tries to get the better of David Marshall. He doesn't quite get enough behind his shot at goal, though, and the Scot dives down to palm the ball wide of his post.

    Coventry 0-0 Stoke

    Coventry were on top in the first half and they're on top in the opening exchanges of this half too.

    A low cross is played into the box but there's no takers.
