    A pretty entertaining Sunday of Championship football, I'm sure you'll agree.

    A ding-dong match between promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough and Sheffield United ends all-square, before Blackburn do enough to beat West Brom and preserve their 100% start to the campaign.

    You can follow Chelsea v Tottenham updates here and we'll be back with more EFL action on Tuesday.

    Three matchdays down in the 2022-23 Championship season.

    But no time to dwell as there's a full programme of fixtures across Tuesday and Wednesday - aside from Coventry and Wigan, whose game is off because of the Sky Blues' unplayable pitch.

    We'll be across those 11 matches - as well as games from League One and League Two.

    You can see what they're giving for the manager, the hard work that has gone in for the manager.

    West Brom are a great team by the way.

    But the hard work, the leadership from Daniel Ayala, Ryan Hedges and Ben Brereton Diaz was enough for the spine of the side to work hard and get the result.

    Rovers go top of the Championship.

    New manager Jon Dahl Tomasson makes it three wins from three as they go two points clear.

    The last time Rovers started a season this well was 1988....

    Two minutes to go.....

    Was that West Brom's final chance?

  6. CLOSE!published at 16:57 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 2-1 West Brom

    West Brom win a corner in the eighth of 11 stoppage time minutes.

    Semi Ajayi heads Jed Wallace's corner wide after Thomas Kaminski came out and failed to gather the ball.

    That was close....

    Man of the match at Ewood Park is given to Ben Brereton Diaz.

    A goal and an assist - you can't really argue with that.

    Daniel Ayala has been good in defence for Blackburn while Grady Diangana and Jed Wallace have looked dangerous for West Brom.

    Five minutes of stoppage time to go.

    It's tense at Ewood Park with around seven minutes of stoppage time still to go.

    Remember if Rovers win they'll go top of the league with three wins from three.

    I'm trying to work out the 11 minutes.

    Two minutes for the water break..

    There has been four substitution breaks, so a minute for each, that's six.

    Can't say there's been five minutes of injuries.....

  10. Postpublished at 16:49 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 2-1 West Brom

    There will be a minimum of 11 (yes, eleven) minutes of stoppage time.

    Where the referee has got 11 minutes from, with no serious injury, I have no idea...

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:49 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 2-1 West brom

    A yellow card for Lewis Travis after a loose pass by a teammate.

    Took one for the team there.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 2-1 West Brom

    Bradley Dack gets a booking in the 89th minute for kicking the ball away.

  13. Postpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 2-1 West Brom

    Rovers' Tyrhys Dolan gives the ball away trying backheel.

    It falls to Grady Diangana who finds Jed Wallace but West Brom cannot take advantage.

    Into the last five minutes plus stoppages, probably at least another five minutes.

    Tyler Morton does well to break up a West Brom counter attack.

    There are some tired legs out there now.....

  15. Postpublished at 16:41 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 2-1 West Brom

    Nail-biting stuff for the home fans now with around eight minutes plus stoppage time to go.

    Can they hold on for a third successive win or will West Brom get back into it?

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:39 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 2-1 West Brom

    Superb save by Rovers' stopper Thomas Kaminski.

    The Belgian makes himself really big to stop Karlan Grant's effort after a great cross from Grady Diangana.

    It should be 2-2.

  17. CLOSE!published at 16:37 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Lovely movement from Rovers substitute Bradley Dack, who has a shot blocked.

    It falls to Tyler Morton whose shot is blasted over. There's 12 minutes left of normal time.

  18. Postpublished at 16:33 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 2-1 West Brom

    West Brom are really taking it to Rovers - Tyler Morton's given the ball away and caused a bit of danger, but the hosts survive.

    It could be a very tense final 15 minutes or so.

    Rovers make another two changes as Sam Gallagher is replaced by Tyrhys Dolan, while Bradley Dack comes on for Sam Szmodics.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:30 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 2-1 West Brom

    Ash Phillips' race is run. He comes off for Tayo Edun.

    Another defensive change for Rovers - can the Baggies take advantage?

  20. Postpublished at 16:27 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Chance for West Brom as Karlan Grant has an effort.

    It's blocked by Ash Phillips, who's left hobbling after the challenge.

    Could be a bit of cramp for the 17-year-old making his full debut.

    And we have a water break with 22 to go on the clock.
