    That's as far as we go in here this evening.

    Sheffield United missed the chance to go top of the Championship table as they fell to defeat by Rotherham, while, at the opposite end of the table, bottom side Huddersfield won 2-1 at QPR for their first away win of the season.

    We'll be back with more EFL live text action on Friday when Birmingham City host Sunderland.

    Hope you can join us then and thanks for your company this evening.

    Cheers!

    Watford 2-0 Reading

    The Hornets have stung Reading into submission.

    A convincing win for the home side in the end.

    More disappointment from the Royals who desperately need to find something (anything) as quickly as possible to stop this skid.

  3. Sky Blues offer hope to every Championship sidepublished at 21:56 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2022

    Coventry 2-0 Wigan

    It is now 19 points out of a possible 24 for Coventry. When they started this run, they were bottom and six points shy of safety.

    Now they are only five points off the play-offs and they still have two games in hand.

    That is what keeps every team in the Championship interested. Every club's fans can think 'What if we hit top form?'

    League Two results

    AFC Wimbledon have beaten league leaders Leyton Orient 2-0 - it's only Orient's second defeat of the season.

    An injury-time equaliser has secured a point for Carlisle United in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Harrogate Town.

    Bradford City have held-on for a 2-1 win over Mansfield Town in the battle of the promotion chasers.

    And Rochdale found the back of the net late on to beat Salford City 1-0.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Watford 2-0 Readingpublished at 21:49 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2022

    Joao Pedro (87 mins)

    A bouncing cross from the nearside is pushed away by a diving Dean Bouzanis, but not far enough.

    It lands for Joao Pedro on the far side of the box and the Brazilian makes no mistake and volleys into the back of the net, for his second of the game.

    Reading may as well start warming up the team bus now.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Rotherham

    Sheffield United would have gone top with a win but it's Rotherham who take the South Yorkshire derby day spoils.

    Ben Wiles' calm first half finish was enough for the Millers to end their run of three successive defeats.

    It's Rotherham's first win at Bramall Lane in 42 years.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Rotherham

    Into five minutes of time added on.

    What a win this would be for the Millers.

    Birmingham City 2-2 Swansea City

    A round of applause for Blues who scrapped so hard in that second half and they deserved that last minute equaliser.

    Swansea are a good side and proved it again tonight but their failure to close out games and secure wins is becoming a bit of a trend.

    Coventry 2-0 Wigan

    A third straight win for the Sky Blues. They are now in the top half of the Championship.

    Wigan cannot end this miserable run. It's one point out of a possible 21 for them.

    QPR 1-2 Huddersfield

    HUGE win for Huddersfield Town!

    The division's bottom side claim their first away win of the season thanks to a double from Josh Ruffels, his first goals for the club since joining in the summer of 2021.

    It's not enough to lift the Terriers off the foot of the table but it brings them back into the mix.

    QPR have now lost three of their past four games.

    Stoke 2-0 Luton

    This was all done and dusted after 13 minutes. A reassuring win for Stoke.

    Not what Luton boss Nathan Jones would have wanted whether he is off to Premier League Southampton or not.

    Cardiff 2-3 Hull City

    First win under Liam Rosenior for Hull City.

    Two goals in a couple of minutes from Tigers midfielder Regan Slater were enough to ensure the points will be going back to East Yorkshire.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Rotherham

    Blades skipper Billy Sharp heads just wide as the home side search for a leveller.

    Still no goals this season for the veteran striker.

    Birmingham City 2-2 Swansea City

    Blues have their 12th corner of the game - Swansea have only earned one.

    This is an exciting finish.

  15. goal

    GOAL Coventry 2-0 Wiganpublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2022

    Viktor Gyokeres (90+5 mins)

    Game over.

    What a way to seal the points from Viktor Gyokeres. He takes the ball down just inside his own half and no Wigan defender can stop him as he gets into the box and flashes it into the far corner.

    A seventh of the season for Coventry's super Swede.

    Blackpool 0-3 Middlesbrough

    A thumping win for Middlesbrough, a second victory for Michael Carrick in his four games.

    A third straight defeat for Blackpool. A worrying week for the Seasiders.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Birmingham City 2-2 Swansea Citypublished at 21:37 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2022

    Troy Deeney (89 mins)

    Never say die!

    Troy Deeney collects a header off a corner. Kills the ball with one foot and blasts it into the back of the net with the other.

  18. INJURY TIMEpublished at 21:37 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2022

    Coventry 1-0 Wigan

    The Latics have half a dozen minutes of injury time to try and find an equaliser.

    QPR 1-2 Huddersfield

    Into five minutes of time added on at Loftus Road.

    Can Huddersfield hold on for a crucial, crucial first away win of the season?

    Watford 1-0 Reading

    This is frustrating for Reading.

    They just can't create anything going forward and spend so much time having to defend.
