    Kev: Is Mitrovic the best Championship player of all time? He's phenomenal at that level!

    A couple of big goals in the race for promotion.

    At the other end of the country Ryan Broom has doubled Plymouth's advantage over Wimbledon.

    Coventry 0-1 Luton

    Coventry are six points off the play-off places at the moment and it is Luton in that key spot that the Sky Blues want.

    What a crucial next 30 minutes this is for both sides.

    Ian Maatsen cuts inside and shoots over with his right foot.

    Barnsley 0-0 Stoke

    The away side have had the better of it since the break but former Tykes forward Jacob Brown sends his effort over the crossbar.

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough have the ball in the net through Aaron Connolly but the flag is up and it remains 2-0.

    Ben Cabango own goal (53 mins)

    Do Fulham just activate goal mode?

    Another blow for a Swansea defender.

    After Ryan Manning was sent off earlier, the unfortunate Ben Cabango diverts Harrison Reed's cross into his own net.

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Bit of a fracas and yellow cards are shown to Sheffield United forwards Billy Sharp and Morgan Gibbs-White and Middlesbrough defender Lee Peltier.

    Blackburn 0-0 Milwall

    Millwall goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski makes a fine save to deny John Buckley.

    The Lions are yet to have a shot of their own.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Bournemouth 1-1 Peterboroughpublished at 20:56 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March 2022

    Ryan Christie (47 mins)

    Maybe it was Scott Parker's half-time team talk that did it.

    Ryan Christie pulls Bournemouth level with a toe-poked finish and in doing so he puts his team back up to second in the table.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic (46 mins)

    He's at it again.

    Fulham now have a man advantage and a goal advantage.

    Great pressure from the visitors to win back the ball and Harry Wilson squares it to Aleksandar Mitrovic to tap in from close range.

    35 goals for the league's top scorer.

  13. Postpublished at 20:52 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March 2022

    Bournemouth 0-1 Peterborough

    Did Bournemouth turn up tonight expecting an easy win against a side who so far have five league wins to their name?

    Will Scott Parker have injected some urgency into them at the break?

    Let's see.

  14. League One updatepublished at 20:50 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March 2022

    #bbcefl

    There's been a goal in the 20:00 GMT kick-off with Cole Stockton giving lowly Morecambe the lead at Bolton which could see them move out of the relegation zone if Wimbledon lose tonight.

    And, just like that, we're back under way.

    Off we go again.

    #bbcefl

    • Third-placed MK Dons are 2-0 up at home to Cheltenham and looking to finish the night level on points with second-placed Wigan.
    • Plymouth are leading 1-0 at home to Wimbledon. A win would see The Pilgrims move into the play-off places.
    • Sunderland are in danger of dropping points in the race for the top six as they find themselves behind at home to Fleetwood.
    • Another two of the play-off chasers are two goals ahead, Ipswich at home to Lincoln and Portsmouth away to bottom-side Crewe.

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:38 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March 2022

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Sheffield UnitedImage source, Rex Features

    After an even opening 20 minutes the home side scored twice in a couple of minutes to take total control.

    Sander Berge and Billy Sharp with the goals for the Blades, who are up to fifth as it stands.

    Chris Wilder's return to his old side not going quite to plan so far...

  19. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:37 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March 2022

    Coventry 0-1 Luton

    The hosts had the early chances through Matt Godden and Viktor Gyokeres, as always.

    But Luton's Elijah Adebayo was the one who showed composure to finish his opportunity off to score and that means the Hatters are back in the play-off places as it stands.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March 2022

    Swansea 0-0 Fulham

    Swansea started so well and will be gutted to be a man down just before the break through Ryan Manning's red card for a nasty challenge on Harry Wilson.

    Both sides have created chances, with Michael Obafemi's rocket of a shot and Aleksandar Mitrovic's header going over, among the best.
