    It's always a rollercoaster but that seemed like a particularly breathless afternoon across the EFL and that's why we love it so.

    Bournemouth stuck late to secure a vital three points while Fulham only scored the one goal today - of course through the imperious Aleksandar Mitrovic.

    Middlesbrough are also looking good and are into the play-off spots, and what a timely win that was for Barnsley over QPR.

    Join us again tomorrow when we'll be bringing you all the action as Swansea host Bristol City!

    Championship bottom-six

    League table

    Big result for Barnsley in ending their winless run - against QPR - as Derby, Peterborough, Reading, Cardiff and Hull all lost.

    Not many smiles among the strugglers today, that's for sure.

    Championship top six

    League table

    Fulham's win at Hull, hard-earned as it was, has helped keep their lead intact at the top of the Championship.

    Bournemouth's comeback win at Blackpool keeps them ticking too, putting pressure on Blackburn to get a result in Monday's six-pointer at West Bromwich Albion.

    QPR's loss to struggling Barnsley opens the door for the chasing pack, particularly Middlesbrough - who replace Forest in the top six after their humbling of Derby.

    Ok, I think we all need a minute to compose ourselves.

    We'll wrap up the headlines across the EFL very shortly. Watch this space.

    Blackpool 1-2 Bournemouth

    It's all over.

    Bournemouth have come back from a goal down to defeat unfortunate Blackpool 2-1.

    The hosts were good value for their lead through Josh Bowler but Jamal Lowe equalised with four minutes left and Siriki Dembele struck the winner deep into injury time.

    Nott'm Forest 2-2 Stoke

    WHAT A FINISH.

    Ten-man Nottingham Forest, who had to field defender Joe Worrall in goal for the last five minutes of normal time after Brice Samba's dismissal, somehow sneak a draw against Stoke.

    It had everything this.

    Forest took the lead through Brennan Johnson, before Josh Maja levelled it up.

    Then, after the incident which saw Samba sent off, Lewis Baker stepped up to score from the spot with two to go - giving Stoke the lead.

    Ryan Yates spared Samba's blushes with an injury-time leveller.

    Wow. And breathe.

    Barnsley 1-0 QPR

    Barnsley win!

    Barnsley have their first win since November and it increases their points tally to 17 and means they are now one point off Derby in 23rd.

    QPR stay in fourth place and will feel like an opportunity to keep pace with Bournemouth in second has been missed, with the Cherries winning away at Blackpool.

  12. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:56 Greenwich Mean Time 12 February 2022

    Millwall 2-1 Cardiff

    A slow burner that sparked into life with Murray Wallace's 73rd-minute opener for the hosts.

    Cardiff maintain a 12-point cushion above the relegation zone while Millwall sit 15th in the league on 40 points.

    Birmingham 3-0 Luton

    A win that goes well against the form book as Birmingham ease to a first win in five games.

    Luton were on a great run before this one but it has been brought to an abrupt end.

    Reading 2-3 Coventry

    Coventry win an absolute goal fest at Reading, with some unsavoury scenes at full-time as 20 to 30 fans enter the field.

    Reading stay two points above the drop zone on 22 points, while Coventry sit 12th.

    The leaders march on.

    Siriki Dembele (95 mins)

    Wow! Late, late drama as the Cherries snatch the points at the death!

    Siriki Dembele is the matchwinner as he picks the ball up on the right before fizzing a low shot past Daniel Grimshaw.

    The sort of result and battling performance that can see a team promoted.

    Hard on Blackpool but Scott Parker will be delighted.

    Peterborough 0-1 Preston

    Cameron Archer adds to his growing reputation with a fine strike ten minutes from time which proved enough to give Preston all three points.

    Peterborough just couldn't quite hold on and are in deep, deep trouble.

    Middlesbrough 4-1 Derby

    Middlesbrough deliver a convincing win against strugglers Derby amid a testy atmosphere at the Riverside.

    Derby fans were aggrieved by the compensation claim made by Boro chairman Steve Gibson, and their mood won't have been improved by this result.

    Max Bird did cancel out Lee Buchanan's own goal for the Rams, but Boro came flying out to put the game to bed.

    Aaron Connolly, Matt Crooks and Duncan Watmore goals put the result beyond doubt.

    Wayne Rooney's headaches continue at Pride Park, for Boro, the play-offs are big on the horizon.

    Well, well...

    It's not over just yet! Left-back Joel Bagan is in the box at the right time to stab the ball home and give the away side a glimmer of hope.
