    Bournemouth 2-1 Bristol City

    Chances at both ends.

    Bournemouth could have opened up a two-goal cushion when Jaidon Anthony was denied by quick reactions from an onrushing Dan Bentley.

    Then City saw Jay Dasilva get a shot away from Chris Martin's clever touch, but it's blocked.

    Barnsley 1-0 Reading

    The home side still hold the slender advantage in this one.

    Few bookings starting to mount up.

    Barnsley will close the gap on the Royals to two points if they hold out.

    Luton 1-1 Millwall

    Millwall are denied by some last-ditch defending this time, as Henri Lansbury puts his foot in to halt a chance for Tom Bradshaw.

    Scott Malone then bends a chance wide with Luton on the back foot from a corner.

    QPR 0-1 Fulham

    Aleksandar Mitrovic wants his 37th league goal of the season.

    First he sees a header tipped over by Keiren Westwood in the R's goal and then has a header cleared off the line.

    QPR still in this but I'm not really sure how.

    They don't give up, the Posh.

  9. Postpublished at 16:17 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Luton 1-1 Millwall

    Bartosz Bialkowski is a big old unit in the Millwall goal and makes a telling save to stop Harry Cornick.

    Cornick was denied one-on-one, as the Hatters sniffed a chance for the lead.

    Oh my.

    Swansea double their money in the south Wales derby and they could be on for a first EVER league double over Cardiff.

    Defender Ben Cabango fires in a crisp finish.

  11. RED CARD: Max Bird (Derby)published at 16:15 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Max Bird sent offImage source, PA Media

    Remember that man advantage Derby were looking to take advantage of?

    Well that's a distant memory now as Max Bird heads into the changing rooms after being dismissed for a foul on Ben Whiteman.

    A big blow for Wayne Rooney's side who had gone close a couple of times early in the second period.

  12. Postpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    QPR 0-1 Fulham

    Harry Wilson sends a shot just over the bar from long range as Fulham look to add a second.

    Bournemouth celebrateImage source, PA Media

    Lewis Cook only scores screamers.

    His last goal was a thunderous strike to help Bournemouth to a comeback win over Reading back in November 2020.

    This one is just as good. Cook gets the ball about 25 yards out after a short-corner build-up, and whistles a rocket past Dan Bentley.

    Cue bedlam in Boscombe.

    Welcome back Bradley Dack!

    Big goal for a man who's had a tough time with injuries, attacking a Ryan Nyambe ball to get the Rovers back on track.

    Parity. Is that the catalyst for Rovers?

    GOAL: Peterborough 0-2 Middlesbroughpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Folarin Balogun (49 mins)

    Game over perhaps, and a crushing blow to Peterborough in their bid to stay in the Championship.

    Folarin Balogun is the hero for the Boro, who keeps their play-off hopes alive, nips in to meet a back-post ball from Jonny Howson.

    Bournemouth 1-1 Bristol City

    Rob Atkinson gave Bristol City the lead and he's just kept his side level with an early swipe off the line.

    Jefferson Lerma lifted the initial shot over Dan Bentley, but Dominic Solanke's effort was denied.
