    The celebrations from Barnsley's players and supporters tell you what a significant goal that could be in their battle to avoid relegation.

    Claudio Gomes' strike is the least the Tykes deserve after creating a hatful of first-half chances.

    They just need Sheffield United to do them a favour now.

    Peterborough are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Blackburn at the minute.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Swansea City 0-1 Barnsleypublished at 16:17 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Claudio Gomes (54 mins)

    Well, well, well. If Barnsley are going to go down they are going to do it fighting.

    Amine Bassi picks out Claudio Gomes on the right edge of the box. He takes one touch and sends it straight past Andy Fisher with his second.

    That's the on-loan striker's first goal for the club and could see them on their way to only their second away win of the season.

  7. goal

    GOAL: West Brom 1-1 Blackpoolpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Marvin Ekpiteta (53 mins)

    Blackpool have started the second half strongly and they've been rewarded for their efforts.

    Marvin Ekpiteta makes no mistake at the far post from a free-kick into the box as he fires in from close range.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:15 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Bournemouth 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Bournemouth hit the crossbar!

    It comes via a corner to the Cherries into the Middlesbrough box and Jefferson Lerma gets onto the end of it.

    He heads from point blank range but his effort rattles off the bar.

  9. Postpublished at 16:15 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Sheffield United 0-1 Reading

    Paul Heckingbottom clearly had a stern word with his team at half-time as they have come out with more intensity after the break. But while they win a corner it goes over everyone in the box and comes to nothing.

    Crucially, we're 54 minutes in and they've yet to have a shot on target.

    Peterborough 0-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn withdrew Sam Gallagher at the break in favour of Bradley Dack but will 10-man Rovers be able to make their change count?

    So far Peterborough are holding firm, which is doing nothing for Rovers' play-off hopes.

  11. Postpublished at 16:06 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Bournemouth 0-0 Middlesbrough

    A better start to the second half for Middlesbrough.

    Marc Bola sends in a cross from the left and into the path of Marcus Tavernier who heads wide of the Bournemouth goal.

    After waiting 66 games to score his first goal for Coventry, Ben Sheaf has got two in 10 minutes and also got Coventry right back in this on half-time.

    Another set piece, this time a corner from Gustavo Hamer and again Sheaf is there waiting at the back post to head it home.

    That's just the reaction that Coventry needed.

    No sooner had Birmingham gone 2-0 up and Ben Sheaf pulls one back for the Sky Blues.

    A free kick comes into the box, which Michael Rose heads across the face of goal. Ben Sheaf is there waiting all on his own and has a simple tap-in for his first Coventry goal.
