    Well hello!

    Four minutes after conceding Preston are back level and Aston Villa loanee Cameron Archer finally has his opener.

    It's great play from midfielder Daniel Johnson who sets up the striker who dispatches the ball into the back of the net.

    This is turning into a very enjoyable afternoon for Swansea City - and a miserable one for play-off chasing Coventry.

    Russell Martin's side have been sharp and clinical, scoring three goals from the three chances they have had.

    Coventry have barely been in the game, and their chances of getting back into this contest are all the slimmer after Michael Obafemi's goal right at the start of the second half.

    Huge goal in the Championship as Bournemouth keep up their top two form with the opener.

    Cherries winger Jaidon Anthony fires in a great pass and nobody is tracking Jamal Lowe who meets the cross with a soft touch, before sliding the ball into the net.

    Game back on?

    Simple as you like as Jay Dasilva's cross beats everyone but Alex Scott who taps the ball home at the back post.

    The home fans are bouncing.

    Another chance for Lucas Joao as the Reading man curls a shot just over the bar after a good ball in from John Swift.

    Reading 0-1 Millwall

    Brief opening for Reading's Lucas Joao who twists and turns in the box, but he holds on to the ball for too long and is eventually smothered by a wall of Millwall defenders.

    That could be a massive result for Derby. They have had a tough time of it of late, with three straight defeats, but they could be giving themselves a chance of staying up against the odds.

    WOW.

    You know what they say, you wait eight years for one and then two come along at once.

    Tom Lawrence smashes a shot against the crossbar and there is goal machine Ravel Morrison to score his second goal of the game and second in the league since April 2014.
