  1. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 3-0 Huddersfield

    Lewis Baker (penalty) (90 mins)

    The icing on the cake.

    Lewis Baker scores form the spot after Jacob Brown was felled in the area.

    Stoke going seven points clear of the bottom three.

  2. FULL-TIME

    Swansea 2-1 Blackpool

    Another defeat for the division's bottom side.

    Matthew Sorinola gave the home side the lead and tings got worse for the away side when Charlie Patino was sent off after the break.

    Sonny Carey levelled things up but Callum Connolly scored in his own goal to put the Swans back in front.

    The Tangerines, without a league win since October, remain bottom.

  3. Preston 1-1 Luton

    Into five minutes of added time at Deepdale.

    Can either side grab a winner?

  4. RED CARD: Paul Heckingbottom (Sheff Utd)

    Sheff Utd 1-3 Middlesbrough

    Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom is sent off.

    Not quite sure what happened but it was in the aftermath of that third Boro goal.

    The home side felt the referee should have given them a free-kick rather than an advantage moments before they lost the ball prior to conceding.

  5. West Brom 1-0 Blackburn

    Tony Brown
    West Brom's all-time record goalscorer on BBC Radio WM

    It was brilliant from Okay Yokuslu to win the header and Jayson Molumby threw himself into the six-yard box.

    Albion can't ease off the pace now and take it for granted that will be enough. They still have a job to do.

  6. goal

    GOAL: West Brom 1-0 Blackburn

    Jayson Molumby (73 mins)

    The Baggies take the lead.

    Okay Yokuslu climbs highest to head a cross from the right back across goal and Aynsley Pears manages to get a hand to it.

    However, Jayson Molumby is on hand to nod in the rebound from close range.

    The Baggies could be taking a big step back into the play-off places.

  7. Bristol City 1-1 Wigan

    Tom Naylor puts in a crucial block to deny Bristol City's Cameron Pring inside the box.

    Almost into stoppage time at Ashton Gate.

  8. Sheff Utd 1-3 Middlesbrough

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Radio Tees

    What a sight, it is bouncing. Middlesbrough have been the better side and they are red-hot at this moment in time.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Sheff Utd 1-3 Middlesbrough

    Cameron Archer (74 mins)

    WOOF.

    Middlesbrough nick the ball back on the halfway line and Hayden Hackney runs forward before sliding Cameron Archer in.

    The Aston Villa loanee keeps his cool to slot home his second of the evening and Boro's third.

  10. West Brom 0-0 Blackburn

    Back to The Hawthorns, and West Brom midfielder John Swift whistles a free-kick just wide of the Rovers goal.

    Grady Diangana is on for Marc Albrighton for the hosts, and they're into the final 20 minutes.

  11. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Swansea 2-1 Blackpool

    How many times has the woodwork been hit this evening?!

    Blackpool goalscorer Sonny Carey comes so close to levelling up for the 10 men but his shot comes back off the post.

  12. CLOSE!

    Preston 1-1 Luton

    Brilliant chance for Tom Cannon to give 10-man Preston the lead, but he fires across goal and narrowly wide of the right-hand post.

  13. Bristol City 1-1 Wigan

    Callum Lang drives forward for WiganPA Media

    Wigan pushing for a winner but Robins keeper Max O'Leary smothers at the feet of Callum Lang.

  14. Sheff Utd 1-2 Middlesbrough

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Radio Tees

    Sheffield United have changed shape, they've gone two up top and they're putting Middlesbrough under pressure.

    Boro have started giving the ball away as well and the presure is building.

    They need to manage the game.

  15. Sheff Utd 1-2 Middlesbrough

    Blades sub Daniel Jebbison is straight into the action!

    First he sees a shot saved by Zac Steffen in the Boro goal and then another shot is blocked by a defender.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Preston 1-1 Luton

    Troy Parrott pen (81 mins)

    Confident run-up, smashed high down the middle.

    No keeper was saving that from Troy Parrott.

    Can the 10 men hang on for a point now?

  17. PENALTY TO PRESTON

    Preston 0-1 Luton

    Handball in the Luton box as the ball hits the arm of Tom Lockyer.

    The 10 men of Preston have a glorious chance to equalise...

  18. Sheff Utd 1-2 Middlesbrough

    Sheffield United decide to switch things up.

    Defender Anel Ahmedhodzic is off and striker Daniel Jebbison is on.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Preston 0-1 Luton

    Carlton Morris (73 mins)

    Carlton Morris scores for LutonPA Media

    Luton hit the front against the 10 men of Preston.

    A few minutes after hitting the bar from a corner, Carlton Morris heads in from close range for his 12th goal of the season.

    Amari'i Bell's cross from the left is deflected high into the box and Morris is on hand at the back post to nod in, with Freddie Woodman unable to keep that one out.

    It could be six straight home defeats for the Lilywhites at Deepdale...

  20. Sheff Utd 1-2 Middlesbrough

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Radio Tees

    This game has had everything - good football, excitement, the tackles flying in.
