    Grimsby are two goals to the good against Crewe at Blundell Park

    Gavan Holohan's opener has been followed by Danilo Orsi's close-range downward header for his second goal in as many home games.

    Elsewhere Omar Bogle has tucked home the equaliser for Newport who are now 2-2 at home to Harrogate, having led and trailed in the opening nine minutes.

  5. 'A sucker-punch'published at 21:27 British Summer Time 25 April 2023

    Blackburn 0-1 Burnley

    Kevin Gallacher
    Former Blackburn striker on BBC Radio Lancashire

    Blackburn haven't been playing bad they just got caught in a sucker-punch.

    Benson has shown right away he's got a left foot. You've got a left-footed left back who shows him inside to let him shoot onto his left foot.

    Blackburn completely got that one wrong but you can't take that away from Benson, what a finish.

  6. 'An absolute beauty'published at 21:25 British Summer Time 25 April 2023

    Blackburn 0-1 Burnley

    Paul Weller
    Former Burnley midfielder on BBC Radio Lancashire

    Unbelievable. He's been magic all season. You know he's going to come on that left foot but he's still got to produce.

    He sticks it into that far corner and the keeper has got no chance.

    What an absolute beauty.

    GOAL: Blackburn 0-1 Burnleypublished at 66 mins

    Manuel Benson

    WHAT A GOAL!

    If this is the goal that seals the Championship title for Burnley at Ewood Park then what a way to do it.

    Manuel Benson picks up the ball after the Clarets break into the Blackburn half, turns onto his left foot and curls a sensational strike into the top corner.

    Magnificent. That is the breakthrough Burnley needed.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 65 mins

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Burnley's Jack Cork is cautioned now for a pretty reckless foul on Tyrhys Dolan as we see another yellow card in this second half.

    There's a bit of needle in this east Lancashire derby. The Blackburn fans did not like that.

    Accrington keeper Lukas Jensen deals with a high ball into his box from Bolton, who have made four changes, including the removal of leading scorer Dion Charles against his former club.

    Accrington haven't won on the road since November but this could be a priceless three points if they can see it through. A spot of revenge for their EFL Trophy semi-final defeat too I suppose.

    At SIncil Bank Burton have taken the lead against Lincoln City thanks to a close-range finish from Gassan Ahadme. They were almost safe as it was, this should just about do it.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 63 mins

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Harry Pickering is booked now as we see yet another yellow card.

    The Blackburn man is cautioned for bringing down the onrushing Manuel Benson.

    I think it's safe to say this game is warming up now.

    Everyone is rising to the occasion.

    Mansfield have been given a boost with half an hour to play against Leyton Orient as Shadrach Ogie has been sent-off for the visitors for bringing down Davis Keillor-Dunn when he was clean through on goal.

    The O's still lead 2-1.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 59 mins

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Burnley boss Vincent Kompany makes some changes.

    Johann Berg Gudmundsson is replaced by Jack Cork while Vitinho comes off with Manuel Benson coming on.

  14. 'The Greens are going up'published at 21:16 British Summer Time 25 April 2023

    Plymouth Argyle 2-0 Bristol Rovers

    Brent Pilnick
    BBC Sport at Home Park

    The Argyle faithful are in full voice now having seen their side go 2-0 ahead.

    With 25 minutes to go it's a case of how many do Argyle want to score against Bristol Rovers, who I'm sure would be happy to end this now.

    If results stay as they are Steven Schumacher's side will need two points from their last two games to go up.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 57 mins

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Another yellow card, this time to Burnley's Ian Maatsen.

    It comes after he makes contact with Ryan Hedges.

    There's some movement in the dugouts, we could be seeing some changes soon.

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Blackburn work the free-kick into the Burnley box but it's cleared away.

    The hosts keep it alive, however, and Joe Rankin-Costello floats a ball into the area which is headed towards the top left-hand corner by Tyrhys Dolan but Clarets keeper Ari Muric easily collects before Ryan Hedges can try to divert it goalbound.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 54 mins

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Josh Cullen is booked for a challenge on Ben Brereton Diaz.

    Blackburn win a free-kick in Burnley's half. Can they take advantage?

    Marcus Browne has surely made the points safe with a double for Oxford who now lead Cheltenham 4-0. The second was a fabulous solo goal. They had scored five goals in their last 11 matches before tonight and haven't won in 17 matches dating back to 21 January.

    Not a great night for fellow strugglers Cambridge and Morecambe with Oxford and Accrington both leading in their games in hand.

    Blackburn 0-0 Burnley

    Burnley send a free-kick into the Blackburn penalty area but it's headed wide of the mark by Charlie Taylor.

    At the other end, Blackburn almost take the lead as Sammie Szmodics tries to flick in at the near post but Clarets keeper Ari Muric deals with the danger.

    There's quite a tempo to the start of this second half.

    After Plymouth doubled their lead against Bristol Rovers, Ipswich have missed the chance to go 3-0 up at Barnsley as Harry Isted has saved a Nathan Broadhead penalty.
