That's as far as we go in here today.

It was a tremendous day for Championship leaders Burnley and their Southampton loanee Nathan Tella.

The 23-year-old scored a first-ever career hat-trick to give his side a club-record equalling 10th successive league win at the expense of Preston.

There were also comfortable wins for second-placed Sheffield United and third-placed Middlesbrough, while Wigan claimed a vital win at the bottom of the table.

In League One, Plymouth went back to the top with a 3-1 win over Portsmouth and out-of sorts Leyton Orient remain top of League Two despite continuing their poor run with a 1-1 draw with Walsall.

We're back with more EFL live text action on Tuesday with a smorgasbord of games from across the leagues.

Thanks for your company today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Cheers!

Just a single point separates the bottom four sides after an absorbing afternoon at the foot of the table.

Jack Whatmough’s header ensured Wigan moved off the bottom and leapfrog Blackpool and Huddersfield.

Mick McCarthy’s Tangerines slipped to the foot of the table despite a point in a stalemate at home to Rotherham.

Cardiff are only out of the drop-zone on goal difference after their home defeat by Middlesbrough while Stoke have a five-point cushion after their 0-0 draw with Hull.

Another Saturday, another great weekend for the top two.

Both Burnley and Sheffield United cruised to 3-0 home wins and it seems just a matter of when, not if, they secure returns to the Premier League for 2023-24.

In-form Millwall moved up to fifth with a 2-1 win at a QPR side who are anything but in-form and Sunderland are now just a point off the top six.

Successive defeats mean Norwich are four points off the play-offs.

• Carlisle earned a point at AFC Wimbledon to stay third, four points behind Stevenage.
• Northampton stayed fourth after grabbing a late equaliser and denying bottom side Rochdale just a second win in 13 matches.
• Fifth-placed Salford City also dropped points in a defeat at Tranmere, meaning Mansfield were the only one of the top six to win, beating second-bottom Gillingham.
• In-form Stockport, in seventh, moved within seven points of the top three with a routine 3-1 win at Harrogate.

• A goal from defender Jack Whatmough gives Shaun Maloney his first win as Wigan gaffer against fellow strugglers Huddersfield.

Give this post a thumbs up if you're pleased with your side's result today and hit the thumbs down if you're not.

Shaun Maloney's first home match ends with a win. The Latics are off the foot of the table.

Jack Whatmough's booming header from a corner in the closing stages was enough to seal victory in a nervy game against the managerless Terriers.

Wigan were winless in 10 dating back to November and have now kept back-to-back clean sheets for the first time this season.

Chris Martin's first Hoops goal was a mere consolation as goals in either half from Duncan Watmore, his first for Millwall, and Oliver Burke, were enough to secure a historic win for the visitors.

Their last triumph at the Rs came in February 1989 and they climb to fifth in the table. The Hoops are 16th after one win in 15.

Coventry hold in-form Luton to a 1-1 draw despite going down to 10 men late on.

It was an afternoon of hard graft for the hosts, having gone a goal down after 38 seconds!

Middlesbrough put three past strugglers Cardiff, but it was far from comfortable for the promotion hopefuls.

The win keeps Boro within 10 points of Sheffield United in the second automatic promotion place. They face the Blades next on Wednesday.

Defeat leaves Cardiff winless under boss Sabri Lamouchi.

What a finish.

Millers keeper Viktor Johansson denies Jerry Yates the winner in the dying seconds before Chiedozie Ogbene strides down the pitch and rattles the bar for Rotherham from distance.

Blackpool are winless in 13 matches, seven straight at home, and slip to the bottom of the table... the Millers are now four points clear of the bottom-three.

Wesley Hoedt marks his Watford debut with a goal against Blackburn to keep the Hornets in the play-off spots.

The draw in Blackburn's third in as many leagues games, and sees them slip one spot to eighth in the table.

It end's goalless in Stoke.

A point and clean sheet for both sides in a stalemate that failed to hit any any sort of heights.

Mark Sykes' first-half goal was enough to ensure the hosts a first win in 12 matches against the Canaries - their last success was at Carrow Road in February 2009.

David Wagner has now lost all three games he has managed at Ashton Gate, without scoring a goal, while the Robins remain unbeaten in 2023.

Three goals and three points for the second-placed Blades.

Middlesbrough visit Bramall Lane on Wednesday and should they overcome third-placed Boro it would be very hard to see anyone other than Paul Heckingbottom's men taking the second automatic promotion spot.

Patrick Roberts' brilliant late winner gives Tony Mowbray's side a victory that moves them up to seventh in the table.

Could the Black Cats be on for successive promotions?

More good news for leaders Leyton Orient.

Just moments after they level at Walsall, nearest rivals Stevenage fall behind again to Bradford.

Jamie Walker has put the Bantams 3-2 up.

For the first time since 1913 Burnley have 10 league wins in a row.

Nathan Tella is the hero as his hat-trick helps the league leaders saunter to victory over their Lancashire rivals.

A win over Watford on Tuesday will see Vincent Kompany's men set a new club record in this superb season.
