    Phil Jagielka, the former Blade, who did so many good things for Sheffield United, has bitten the hand that used to feed him.

    Stoke go back in front in first-half injury time as Phil Jagielka rises expertly to head home Lewis Baker's corner against his former club.

    Not a bad first half for the 40-year-old defender - an assist for Ben Wilmot's opener and a now a goal too!

    Age is just a number.

    We've reached the midway point in most of the games across the EFL.

    Much to sum up - our half-time headlines will be coming right up...

    Auston Trusty (43 mins)

    "USA, USA, USA" chant the fans at St Andrew's.

    Defender Auston Trusty has his second goal of the game from close range.

    A tumbling free-kick hits the woodwork and he's there to tap-in.

    Oxford's match against Wycombe has been delayed due to a medical situation in the stands. Play is due to resume at 3.50pm with around 30 minutes of the first half left to play.

    Millwall 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Managerless Middlesbrough are still looking for a way back into it at The Den.

    Rodrigo Muniz connects with Paddy McNair's delivery but can't keep his header on target and the opportunity goes begging.

    Can they find a goal before the break?

  12. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 2-0 Sunderlandpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 8 October 2022

    Harry Darling (45+1 mins)

    He was one of four players recalled to the Swansea side this afternoon, and Harry Darling has doubled his side's lead.

    It won't win any beauty competitions - the centre-back bundling in a free-kick - but it's given Sunderland a mountain to climb now.

    Table-topping Plymouth lead at home to Accrington Stanley thanks to Niall Ennis while closest challengers Ipswich have fallen behind at Morecambe through Kieran Phillips.

    The gap in the live table is now four points but Argyle and Stanley have been reduced to 10-men apiece before half-time. Seamus Conneely seeing-red for Accrington after a challenge from Dan Scarr of Plymouth, which saw him dismissed too.

    Forest Green might have lost three in a row, conceding nine goals, but Ian Burchnall’s side lead at home to play-off chasing Bolton thanks to Connor Wickham’s goal.

    Cambridge are back on terms at Bristol Rovers while Shrewsbury are 1-0 up on MK Dons.

    Nathan Tella (39 mins)

    Deadlock broken at the CBS Arena.

    Burnley edge ahead against Coventry as time ticks down to half-time and it comes via Nathan Tella.

    He finds the net with a fine finish having latched onto a great ball from Josh Cullen.

    Stoke 1-1 Sheffield United

    The Potters have reacted well to the equaliser and are inches from going back in front minutes after the Blades' leveller.

    Tariqe Fosu-Henry fires a powerful effort at goal and it rattles Wes Foderingham's crossbar - he caught hold of that one!

    And almost immediately Sheffield United's Iliman N'Diaye rattles the post at the other end!

    Great entertainment!

    Paul Smyth’s goal has put Leyton Orient ahead at Doncaster and also back on top of the table on goal difference from Stevenage.

    The bumper clash between Northampton in third and Salford in fifth remains goalless.

    Bradford are currently down to sixth after Paddy Madden’s penalty put Stockport ahead at Valley Parade.

    Blackburn 1-0 Rotherham

    Ben Brereton Diaz is hunting for his second goal of the afternoon for Blackburn.

    He attempts to strike the ball forward but Lee Peltier is wise to it and deals with the danger.

    Rhian Brewster has lots and lots of potential. He came for a big price tag and you want to see that come to fruition.

    He's done really well in the England set-up, but with that price tag comes pressure.

    But he knows where the back of the net is and I think Paul Heckingbottom is the right type of manager for him.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Blackpool 1-1 Watfordpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 8 October 2022

    Imran Louza (29 mins)

    Watford are back on level terms before the half-hour mark and it's a great free-kick from Imran Louza.

    The dangerous Ismaila Sarr was fouled on the edge of the box, allowing Louza to curl the equaliser into the top corner.

    Not a bad way for Louza to mark his first appearance of the season!

    Burnley having shots from distance now against Coventry.

    Josh Brownhill has a crack from 25 yards out but his effort on goal goes wide.
