    That's where we leave you as we bring to an end a jam-packed midweek set of fixtures across the English Football League.

    There's been dropped points at the top of the Championship and misery at the bottom as West Brom drop into the bottom three.

    Next up, we've got QPR v Reading to bring you. That's to come on Friday.

    For now though, thank you for joining us.

    Joe Gibney: A long night ahead for the West Bromwich Albion board.

    Can Steve Bruce hold on to his job? The Baggies are now in the relegation zone, with 10 points from 12 games...

    Watford 1-2 Swansea

    The decision was no penalty!

    Swansea will be pleased with that result.

    Watford had more quality but the visitors were resilient and made the most of their chances when they came.

    In only his second game in charge of the Hornets, manager Slaven Bilic, will be disappointed with the way his side conceded that second goal.

    Ben Cabango was left unmarked and unchallenged as he headed home for victory.

    Penalty? We're not quite sure. We thought the referee pointed to the penalty spot after seeing the replay. This is going on FOREVER! What is happening?

  5. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:57 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Watford 1-2 Swansea

    Handball??? Late drama at Vicarage Road.

    Watford players surround the referee who is speaking to his linesman.

    Burnley 1-1 Stoke

    Burnley concede another late goal to deny them a win.

    Stoke weathered the storm and Harry Clarke's header on the 87th minute ensured the points were shared at Turf Moor.

    Disappointing for the Clarets. Elation for the Potters who just a few days a go suffered their worst defeat since returning tot he Championship.

    A miserable night for West Brom comes to an end.

    They slip into the bottom three after Emil Riis' first half goal gives Preston all three points.

    Nathan Albon: Forget the ‘new manager bounce’, it’s all about the NO manager bounce in the Championship right now.

    Managerless Hull and Middlesbrough have won, while Rotherham boss Matt Taylor has drawn his first game in charge and new Slaven Bilic's Watford are now behind against Swansea...

    As it stands, unless they can find two late goals, they're headed for the Championship bottom three.

    Rotherham United 1-1 Millwall

    Matt Taylor's Rotherham go away with a point after his first match in charge ends in a 1-1 draw with Millwall.

    Dan Barlaser's penalty put the Millers ahead inside 10 minutes before Zian Flemming equalised just before half-time.

    Hull 2-1 Wigan

    All over at the MKM Stadium and Hull's five-game winless run comes to an end.

    They've come from behind to beat Wigan with boss-in-waiting Pedro Martins watching from the stands.

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Birmingham City

    That feels like a big win for managerless Middlesbrough, who take only their third victory of the season 1-0 against Birmingham.

    Chuba Akpom's first-half goal was enough to give Boro all three points and move them out of the bottom three in the process.

    A beautiful cross from Manning just floats into an unmarked Ben Cabango who heads home from inside the six yard area.

    The keeper didn't want any part of it and didn't come for the cross. Easy for the Swansea defender to head home.

  14. CHANCEpublished at 21:41 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Watford 1-1 Swansea

    Oh what a chance for Swansea striker Joel Piroe!

    From close range he hits it straight at the keeper. If he tucks it an inch to the left or right for the corner it's a goal.

    He may well get another chance because following that lengthy stoppage we have 17 minutes added on!

  15. CLOSE!published at 21:41 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Birmingham City

    Jordan Graham saved his Birmingham team from going 2-0 down putting in a goal-saving block deep in stoppage time, to deny Marcus Forss.

    Hull 2-1 Wigan

    Wigan could have nicked a late point against Hull, here.

    Ashley Fletcher heads over the crossbar from Max Power's free-kick into the box.

    Rotherham United 1-1 Millwall

    Still all square in South Yorkshire with nothing really between the two sides this last 20 minutes.

    We have got six minutes of added time coming though, so ample chance for someone to bag a winner.

    Big disruption there. Who knows what was going on.

    But we're back under way and we're going to have at least 10 or 15 minutes stoppage time.

    Boro v BluesImage source, Getty Images

    Middlesbrough's Duncan Watmore breaks from midfield from Hannibal Mejbri and has options on both sides as he races towards the box, but he chooses to shoot himself and his effort is blocked.

    Riley McGree is not happy with his team-mate.

    Harry Clarke (87 minutes)

    Stoke defender Harry Clarke with a great header from a cross, under pressure from the defender, and drills the ball into the back of the net.

    Well, well, well... just a few minutes left now and Burnley will need to put the turbo on if they're going to claim these three points tonight.
