The bottom side have, against the odds, toppled Boro, who could have moved within a point of the play-offs.

Michael Carrick's men missed so many chances and were thwarted by Millers keeper Viktor Johnasson and the woodwork twice and it was Cohen Bramall's incredible left-wing blast into the roof of the net, either a sliced cross or the reincarnation of Roberto Carlos, which settled the points and gave Leam Richardson his first win in charge.

Jack Clarke's late cracker gives Sunderland all three points and moves them up to sixth at the expense of Hull City, who drop to seventh.

A first win for Michael Beale as Black Cats boss.

Saints go third in the table and are 16 unbeaten after another comprehensive win.

A seventh win in eight home games, a fourth straight clean sheet and Russell Martin heaps more woe on his old side.

Joe Aribo and Sam Edozie put them two-up before Ryan Fraser came off the bench to net a sublime double then set up a fifth for Che Adams.

Festive cracker after festive cracker involving Plymouth Argyle of late.

The Bluebirds flew out of the traps after the interval, taking the lead thanks to a Karlan Grant screamer - some contrast between that and their first-half goal (one to watch back on your footy bloopers source...)

But Argyle bounced back through Morgan Whittaker's 12th of the season, the former Swansea man earning a key brace at the other south Wales Championship ground.

Maybe Argyle don't need a new manager...Neil Dewsnip and Kevin Nancekivell have provided two thrilling draws against bigger clubs in the past few days.

A manic minute between 49-50 saw Watford get back in it, then get plunged further behind as Mark Sykes restored City's two-goal half-time lead.

Substitute Andreas Weimann then wrapped up the three points against his former club.

Bristol City had lost their past five away Boxing Day league games – their last away win on Boxing Day was at Vicarage Road against Watford back in 2008 under now-Torquay boss Gary Johnson....

I do love a quirky Boxing Day stat...

It is still giving the BBC commentators heart palpitations in south Wales.

Chances for both sides, but Argyle more in the ascendancy, their substitutes have been terrific, can they steal a bonus two points late on?

Boro are clearly desperate to avoid a fourth defeat in Yorkshire in five games, and two this month, but Riley McGree has seen an effort deflected onto the upright by Millers keeper Viktor Johansson.

Nope. The other end. Ui-jo Hwang swivels to meet a low cross from close range after a Norwich corner was only half-cleared but Alex Palmer produces an instinctive fingertip save to his left to deny his angled header and the 10-man visitors an unlikely leveller.

Final Score

Order has been restored by Peterborough, but for a moment there this game had turned on its head.

Reading scored from nowhere through Sam Smith, then hit the bar through Femi Azeez - having done absolutely nothing in the game before that.

But Ephron Mason-Clark's 11th of the season has brought the festive joy back to London Road. The Posh are keeping up the heat on Portsmouth.

Teenage striker Bailey Cadamarteri is in great form for Sheffield Wednesday.

Brad Collins in the Coventry goal stops him from adding to his growing goals tally and reputation though this time.

Could have been a hat-trick for Morgan Whittaker, he wins a corner with his weak shot.

All out attack from Argyle, Finn Azaz has been a very positive substitution for the visitors.

Both teams looking for what you'd have to imaging would be the winner.

Matt Ingram makes a great save from Sunderland forward Jack Clarke and moments later opposite number Anthony Patterson keeps out a Liam Delap effort.

John Swift has come inches away from doubling the lead with a goal which would immediately go down as a classic.

He picked the ball up on the edge of the box and *without looking* spins to dink a superb chip across goal and narrowly past the top of the far upright with Angus Gunn beaten.
