    It's a mess of a penalty, as Carlos Alcaraz sends his Panenka attempt over the bar.

    Still, Southampton remain two goals up with just a few minutes left.

    The teenager scores again!

    Bailey Cadamarteri has his third goal in four games - in the same week he extended his contract with the Owls.

    It's a crisp strike from the in-form 18-year-old.

    Sheff Wed 0-1 QPR

    Reporting for 5 Live Sport

    The much-travelled Ashley Fletcher has come on for Wednesday in their quest for an equaliser.

    The majority of the 24,739 present would love for the Watford loanee to open his account for the home side.

    He’s had spells at New York Red Bulls and Wigan since his most prolific period at Middlesbrough.

    Danny Rohl is kicking every ball in the technical area. Can his team do the same into the opposition goal? Time is running out.

  4. Penalty to Southamptonpublished at 16:45 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2023

    Southampton 2-0 Blackburn

    Sekou Mara is fouled by Hayden Carter in the area, and the hosts have the chance to go 3-0 up...

    Swansea 1-2 Middlesbrough

    Swansea nearly level the game again, but Seny Dieng produces a strong save to keep out Josh Tymon's effort.

    They have just over five minutes of normal time to find an equaliser.

    It's a fifth for Watford!

    And this one is a rocket from Ismael Kone from about 20 yards after he drove forward.

    Leeds 1-1 Coventry

    A brilliant double save from Cov goalkeeper Brad Collins denies Georginio Rutter and stops Leeds going back in front.

    Middlesbrough have retaken the lead in south Wales through Samuel Silvera.

    Swansea keeper Carl Rushworth picked up a back pass leading to an indirect free-kick from just six yards out

    Despite the nine Swansea players on the line, Silvera drilled home through the crowd.

    Vakoun Bayo has his second and Watford's fourth of the day.

    And it's game over, really.

    Edo Kayembe again has a part to play, slipping a defence-splitting pass through for Bayo to finish.

  11. Stockport running amokpublished at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2023

    If you want to follow the conclusion of play from Leagues One and Two then you can do so here.

    Fourth tier leaders Stockport have just made it 6-0 against bottom side Sutton.

    Ouch.

    Millwall 1-0 Huddersfield

    I mentioned there was some controversy about that Millwall opener with Brooke Norton-Cuffy kicking it in as Town keeper Lee Nicholls looked to get the ball in both hands.

    Well, the goal was given but Nicholls has been unable to play on.

    Chris Maxwell is on and he's already made a super save to deny Duncan Watmore.

    Bristol City 1-0 Sunderland

    Sunderland are knocking on the door and once again Max O'Leary has denied the Black Cats an equaliser.

    The Bristol City keeper does extremely well to deny Jobe Bellingham and keep the score at 1-0.

  14. RED CARD: Daniel Ayala (Rotherham)published at 16:29 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2023

    Plymouth 2-1 Rotherham

    Bad has just got worse for Rotherham.

    Three minutes after going 2-1 down against Plymouth, they have Daniel Ayala sent off after he is shown a second yellow card.

    It's not a good look for Ayala, who was also sent off for two bookable offences against Swansea last weekend.

    The away side hit back.

    Bobby Thomas heads in to level the scores from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto's cross.

    Leeds will close the gap on the top two to eight points with a win but they'll need to find another goal now.

    Plymouth have completed a comeback.

    It's a second goal of the game for Finn Azaz, who finds the bottom corner after a lovely dummy from Luke Cundle allowed the ball to come his way.

    Can Rotherham respond?

    This second has been coming for Southampton, even before Blackburn went a man down.

    The hosts exploit space on the right and Stuart Armstrong provides the cool finish.

    Scott Twine loves a free-kick, and he's just fired one into the top corner from 20 yards out in spectacular style.

    The Burnley loanee is loving life in Yorkshire.
