    GOAL: Bristol City 1-1 Rotherhampublished at 16:26 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Jordan Hugill (pen) (67 mins)

    The Millers level!

    Jordan Hugill, who was fouled by Zak Vyner for the penalty, dusts himself down (as is the fashion) and converts from the spot.

    Can they hold on now for what could be a precious point?

  2. National League latestpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Jim O'Brien's second has made it 3-0 to Notts County against Maidstone.

    They are doing their best to make sure Wrexham can't slip up later on against Boreham Wood.

    At the bottom, Torquay are keeping their survival hopes alive after Asa Hall's equaliser against Altrincham.

  3. PENALTY: Rotherhampublished at 16:24 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Bristol City 1-0 Rotherham

    And now the Millers have a penalty at Ashton Gate!

    Can they do what Cardiff couldn't?

    GOAL: Norwich 0-3 Swanseapublished at 16:24 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Oliver Ntcham (54 mins)

    If there's was any lingering hope that Norwich might mount a revival from nowhere, it's surely been ended now.

    Another lovely Swansea move as Luke Cundle finds Oliver Ntcham, who glides into the area and finishes with the outside of his right boot.

    Blimey..

    QPR take the lead through Sam Field with a volley inside the box and that could be a seismic goal at both ends of the table.

    Firstly, that goal makes this even more bleak for Wigan as it stands as it will definitely relegate them.

    However, not only will Burnley be forced to wait a little longer to lift the Championship trophy if it stays like this, their unbeaten home record will also come to an end!

    Cardiff 1-1 Stoke

    It's all go now!

    Straight after Jack Bonham had saved Sory Kaba's penalty the away side broke down the other end of pitch and Dwight Gayle is so close to putting the Potters in front.

    Ipswich are the real deal in League One. I really like what Kieran McKenna has done with youth and experience in there. They keep clean sheets week in, week out,.

    It looks like they will go up and I think they will be alright next year.

    Norwich 0-2 Swansea

    The home fans celebrating simply when they've got the ball here.

    But it remains all Swansea.

    Jamie Patterson fires a shot straight at Angus Gunn in the Norwich goal.

    Ryan Manning sends a free kick into the wall and Liam Cullen almost gets his head to a cross at the back post.

  9. League One latestpublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    The news gets worse for Sheffield Wednesday and much better for Plymouth and Ipswich.

    Joe Edwards has put the Pilgims ahead at home to Cambridge - that puts them back on top of the table.

    And shortly afterwards Ipswich top scorer Conor Chaplin grabs his 23rd of the season to double his side's advantage against Peterborough.

    Defining moments?

    WOW!

    How big could this prove to be?!

    Stoke keeper Jack Bonham saves Sory Kaba's penalty and the scores remain level.

    With how other games are going a win for Cardiff today would be huge for their survival bid!

    Burnley 0-0 QPR

    Things are pretty even at Turf Moor in the second half.

    A reminder that as things stand, if this result stays the same, Burnley won't win the Championship title today.

    Also, because QPR would avoid defeat, that would mean Wigan would be relegated as the Latics are currently drawing against Millwall.

  12. PENALTY: Cardiff Citypublished at 16:19 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Cardiff 1-1 Stoke

    Jaden Philogene is felled in the area and the home side have a penalty.

    Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool

    Massive moment in this game.

    Jordan Thorniley clears off the line as Birmingham come within inches of taking the lead against Blackpool.

    How important will that goal be as they look to stave off relegation?

  14. League One latestpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Big blow for the Owls!

    Josh Key has put Exeter ahead at Hillsborough!

    That's great news for the top two, Plymouth and Ipswich, but Sheffield Wednesday badly need a reaction now to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive.

    A key intervention in the promotion race no doubt.

    Oh, that didn't last long.

    The Sky Blues hit straight back to re-take the lead.

    Gustavo Hamer finishes calmly and the Sky Blues are back up to fifth as it stands.

    Leyton Orient 1-0 Crewe

    Joe Thompson
    Former Rochdale and Tranmere midfielder on Squad Goals

    Leyton Orient are definitely partying but they are not on the beach. They were promoted on Tuesday and want to win the championship, and they are one step closer to being crowned champions as Stevenage are also losing at Mansfield.

  17. Postpublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool

    Blackpool need a goal and they need one soon.

    They do well to put a bit of build-up play together as Morgan Rogers pings in a ball towards the box but CJ Hamilton can't get on the end of it and Birmingham deal with the danger.

  18. League Two latestpublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Bradford are back on level terms against Gillingham and it’s who else but the league’s top scorer Andy Cook – he has 25 goals now.

    George Moncur's penalty has put promoted Leyton Orient ahead at home to Crewe.

    Tranmere are now leading Grimsby 2-0.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Coventry 1-1 Readingpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Lucas Joao (52 mins)

    MASSIVE GOAL!

    The struggling Royals took a bit of a pasting in the first half at Coventry but they kept them down to one goal and now they're level.

    Lucas Joao smashes in his seventh of the season and, as it stands, they are level on points with 21st-placed Huddersfield.

    Coventry would still be in the top six but only on goal difference.

    Wigan 1-1 Millwall

    James McClean has just come close to giving Wigan the lead once more.

    He sends a powerful strike towards the Millwall goal which is blocked by Billy Mitchell.
