    Jake Clarke-Salter (45+1 mins)

    The away side are back in it before the break!

    Andre Dozell sends a corner over and Jake Clarke-Salter powers in a header.

    VERY timely goal for the strugglers.

  2. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Blackburn 0-0 Cardiff

    The Bluebirds have the ball in the net, but it does not stand!

  3. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 2-0 Leedspublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Gabriel Sara (43 mins)

    The home side double their money before the break!

    Super, super goal from the Canaries.

    Onel Hernandez plays it to Gabriel Sara and the Brazilian shows great close control and then slams it in.

    Portsmouth 0-0 Carlisle

    Goodness me! How are Pompey not ahead?!

    Colby Bishop has just blazed over the bar from six yards from another testing Jack Sparkes cross. In fact, as I write this, he’s just had another chance inside the box!

    The eight-goal man has already had two near-identical headers that should have beaten Tomas Holy.

    Their attackers continue to have a lot of joy from all sides. The Carlisle fans behind that goal are doing their best to rally their side as the rain teems down here. They are seeing a lot the ball down that end!

    Macauley Longstaff has put Notts County 1-0 up in their 5,000th league game, away at Gillingham. That's his ninth of the season.

    They are trying to cling onto the coat tails of Stockport and are back within two points in the live table.

    Swansea 1-0 Leicester

    Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is keen to make amends for his part in the Swansea goal.

    He has one header saved by Swansea goalkeeper Carl Rushworth and then is off target with a shot as he shoots wide of the far post.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Birmingham

    Ian Clarkson
    Ex-Birmingham captain on BBC Radio WM

    Birmingham look like a team in transition and a team trying to play in a different way. That's just an observation.

    They look like they have been working on something for four or five days and haven't quite got it yet.

    People aren't sure who is tracking who and Middlesbrough have been getting in time and time again.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Birmingham

    A chance for the home side to go in front but young striker Josh Coburn drags his shot wide.

    The 20-year-old only has one goal to his name this season and big boots to fill after the departure of Chuba Akpom to AJax.

  9. League One updatepublished at 15:41 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    #bbcefl

    Greg Leigh has given Oxford the lead at home to Blackpool to take the Us top of the live league table, with Portsmouth still goalless at home to Carlisle.

    Brandon Hanlon has put Wycombe 1-0 to the good in a big game at Peterborough, who have won three straight at home. Wanderers are seeking a sixth win in eight league games, however.

  10. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:38 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Bristol City 0-0 Coventry

    Coventry's Ben Wilson denies Bristol City's Andreas Weimann and it remains goalless at Ashton Gate.

    It was a two-on-two situation after calls for a foul at midfield were waved off by the referee who said 'play on.'

    The hosts are growing into this game a little now.

  11. League Two updatepublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    MK Dons might have a new manager but no sign of new fortunes just yet.

    Shaun Whalley has put Accrington Stanley 1-0 up against Mike Williamson's new side who are winless in their past eight league games.

    Blackburn 0-0 Cardiff

    No shots on target yet in East Lancashire. Who can break out of this stalemate?

  13. League One updatepublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    #bbcefl

    Barnsley are 1-0 down at Leyton Orient, who are playing in their white away strip.

    The Tykes are in red as their away kit was destroyed in the bus fire a couple of weeks back.

    The kit doesn't matter to Joe Pigott who has put the Os ahead from the spot just before the half-hour.

    Beryly Lubala has levelled for Burton at home to Bristol Rovers, who took an early lead through Antony Evans.

    Watford 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Sheffield Wednesday can't afford to pass up too many opportunities like this!

    Josh Windass heads over from close range for the Championship's bottom side, who are still without a win this season.

    Norwich 1-0 Leeds

    The home side are forced into a change in goal as Angus Gunn goes off and George Long comes on.

    Shane Duffy has the ball in the net for the hosts for the second time today but the referee had already blown for a foul.

    Huddersfield 2-0 QPR

    Long, LONG way back for QPR you feel.

    Kenneth Paal sees a shot deflect over as they look to try and find a way back into this.

  17. League Two updatepublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Ronan Darcy has put Crawley 2-1 up at home to Crewe.

    At the other end of the table basement-boys Sutton are 1-0 down at home to Morecambe who lead through Michael Mellon's penalty on 31 minutes.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Birmingham

    Middlesbrough have had the ball in the net but Isaiah Jones was flagged for offside.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Hull 1-1 Southamptonpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Liam Delap (25 mins)

    Hull are back on level terms.

    A messy equaliser but they all count.

    The ball was played into the area and deflected into the path of Liam Delap who slots it home.

    Not the best defending from Saints.

  20. Unfamiliar territory for Leicesterpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Swansea 1-0 Leicester

    Gareth Vincent
    BBC Sport Wales at the Swansea.com Stadium

    Leicester trail in the Championship for the first time since their solitary league defeat of the season, against Hull City on 2 September.

    There have been six straight league wins for the Foxes since then, but a comeback is required if they are to triumph once more today.

    In truth, Leicester have been the more menacing side so far, but they trail to Matt Grimes' third goal of the season.

    The home crowd are making plenty of noise for the moment, though Leicester are being well-backed, too, with the away end at the Swansea.com Stadium sold out.
