Burnley are like the proverbial marathon leader who just kicks into another gear almost to spite their trailing chasers.

Four goals, dominant display, with four different scorers too as Vincent Kompany's side maintain their gap on the likes of Sheffield United and Middlesbrough.

Huddersfield were seemingly never in it, being razed in the first-half by a relentless attack and then being kept at arms length by a cruising Clarets before they got that killer fourth.

Neil Warnock now knows the job that lies ahead. But they won't face this class every week, that's some consolation.

Luton almost sneak a second, Cauley Woodrow having a pop from distance which John Ruddy saves but then allows to skitter from his grasp.

It's a panicky but vital reaction to stop it rolling over the line. Keeps Birmingham's hopes alive a bit but they've lost momentum in terms of the flow of the game.

You can sense the importance of this one as Robbie Brady and Danel Sinani are booked for an altercation off the ball.

The points are so vital for different reasons for these North West rivals.

Millwall have been defending for most of the second half, and have managed to hang on despite Stoke dominating the ball...

Birmingham have woken up finally and are giving Luton a few problems.

Scott Hogan plants a header off the bar following a dangerous cross. Was a clean connection and gives the home side a bit of momentum from the stands.

Boro boss Michael Carrick has been at pains to say that Matt Crooks is not a 'super-sub' of late.

However, he's just sent him on, and I'm sure he'll happily take any such tags if he blasts a couple of goals to level in the last few moments.

Wigan are close to levelling things up, but North End goalkeeper Freddie Woodman makes a super save to deny Danel Sinani.

With the teams around them losing comfortably, a point would still be precious for Wigan.

Almost a third for Norwich as Teemu Pukki is denied by Ryan Allsop.

Pukki was only a substitute in this game, but his team-mates appear to have got this game won before he was introduced.

Luton's impending win looks like it's coming at a cost following their trip to the second city.

Goalscorer Carlton Morris has had to come off injured. Cauley Woodrow is on in his place. Second injury of the day for the Hatters.

George Moncur has leaders Leyton Orient level again at Grimsby - 2-2 the score now.

Second-placed Stevenage are a goal down at home to Tranmere - a Josh Hawkes penalty.

The visitors come so close to an immediate response, but Benjamin Tetteh sees his header hit the Bristol City post.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for Birmingham fans, but your team appear no closer to scoring here than they have at any time this afternoon.

Still they have the big 'duck egg' against their name. Carlton Morris' goal is the difference at the minute for Luton.

Double save from Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann, first parrying a Tommy Doyle shot then saving Ben Osborn's follow-up effort.

Into the final third of the game...

Yakou Meite is brought down in the area by Curtis Nelson and it is a penalty to the Royals.
