Eight minutes after Portsmouth had what they thought was an equaliser ruled-out for offside, MK Dons, only off the bottom on goal difference earlier today, don't forget, are 2-0 ahead. Jack Tucker prodded in from close range after the Blues failed to clear a set-piece.
Joel Piroe (68 mins)
Signs of life for Swansea.
They work it well down the left and a drilled cross from Ryan Manning is flicked home by Joel Piroe with the outside of his right boot from inside the six-yard box.
Preston North End 0-1 QPR
What a spell of play we've had at Deepdale Stadium.
North End thread a ball through to Ben Woodburn inside the QPR box.
He's one-on-one with the keeper but his shot is brilliantly saved by Seny Dieng.
Then QPR surge forward in attack only to be repelled.
And breathe ....
Gary Madine (67 mins)
Blackpool are level and it's Gary Madine back at his old club.
Ian Poveda stands a ball up from the by-line on the right and Madine climbs highest and a good header down beats the goalkeeper.

Breakthrough at Brisbane Road. Paul Smythe is the Os hero with the opening goal against Sutton, his ninth of the season, a thunderbolt which could take them seven points clear at the top.

Bristol Rovers are back on level terms at Charlton. John Marquis has pounced on a defensive slip and lashed into the top corner to make it 1-1. Still half-an-hour to go for Rovers to find a winner to continue their play-off push.
Hull City 0-0 Sunderland
Sunderland are reduced to 10 men as Elliot Embleton is sent off as he is stretchered from the field.
The midfielder took out Ryan Woods in an aerial challenge.
Grady Diangana (58 mins)
He'd only just come on!
Grady Diangana makes it 2-0 to the home side with what must be his first touch after coming on for Matt Phillips.
The former West Ham man converts from Jed Wallace's pass.
Manuel Benson (60 mins)
Burnley are level!
Manuel Benson cuts in from the right wing, finds space for a shot on the edge of the area and lashes one at the near post.
Too much pace for Boro keeper Zack Steffen diving to his left.
West Brom 1-0 Rotherham
Rotherham are giving it a good go against the in-form Baggies.
Chiedozie Ogbene forced a decent stop from Alex Palmer in the home goal in the opening minutes of the second half.
Jimmy Dunne (58 mins)
Jimmy Dunne gets on the end of an in-swinging corner that dropped into a crowded box.
It's hard to see exactly how it went in at the moment. But he found the gap and the ball is into the back of the net from close range.
Jacob Brown (57 mins)
Stoke striker Jacob Brown gets on the end of a cross and fires a powerful shot low past the keeper.
Bristol City had led at Ashton Gate but now find themselves behind.
Preston North End 0-0 QPR
QRP with one of the best chances of the game but Chris Willock skies-it over the bar.
The ball fell to him after a poor clearance from the North End defender Greg Cunningham.
But he just couldn't get over it.
Joao Pedro (54 mins)
The Hornets have been struggling for goals but they have one today!
Brazilian forward Joao Pedro breaks the deadlock with a thumping finish from inside the area.
Home goalkeeper Lee Nicholls might think he could do better.
Hull City 0-0 Sunderland
Oh dear.
Oscar Estupinan slides his penalty the wrong side of the post.
In truth, replays suggest it probably shouldn't have been a penalty in the first place.
Viktor Gyokeres (54 mins)
Points sealed for Coventry?
Callum O'Hare slips Viktor Gyokeres into the area, he jinks into space for the shot, clips it past the goalkeeper and over the line via the inside of the right post.
A 10th goal of the season for the Sweden frontman.
Hull City 0-0 Sunderland
The home side have a spot-kick after a foul in the area!
Duncan Watmore (49 mins)
Boro ahead against the league leaders at Turf Moor!
It's a backpass that has nowhere near enough club, Duncan Watmore, on as a substitute at half-time, picks it up, drives to the top of the penalty area and slides home.
Jamie Allen (47 mins)
Coventry quickly have a second after the restart.
A superb finish from Jamie Allen has doubled the lead.
Left foot into the top corner from the top of the area, no chance for Steven Benda in the Swansea goal.
