    Watford have been much better in the second half but they've had to bring top-scorer Mileta Rajovic off the bench to pull level.

    The striker meets a cross from the left and powers a lovely header into the near post.

    He goes straight to pick the ball out of the net as the Hornets seek a winner. There's about 15 minutes left.

    Lewis Dunk has to make an important block at the near post.

    So close! Lyndon Dykes just couldn't get to the ball, right in front of goal, before Max Aarons, who sends the ball out for a corner.

    Joao Pedro (71 mins)

    Brighton are in front again!

    Pascal Gross whips it in from the right and Joao Pedro nods a perfectly-placed header into the left corner.

    Pedro had a lot to do. This has been an entertaining match for sure.

    Stoke 2-2 Brighton

    Still 20 minutes plus stoppage time to go in Stoke. It's been a good game. Both sides have given it a go.

    It was coming!

    QPR play it out from the back and Philip Billing presses hard to regain possession. He play it across the face of goal with Justin Kluivert rushing in to convert an easy tap-in.

    From a Stoke point of view, going 2-1 down, they might have changed their approach to being more defensive but they haven't at all.

    Game over at St. Mary's.

    Ryan Fraser has bagged his second of the afternoon and Southampton are set to extend their unbeaten run to 19 games.

    It is a superb finish from Fraser. There's a little pass out to the left and he curls a first-time effort in to the far corner with aplomb.

    Pascal Gross flicks it on to Jack Hinshelwood but he's offside as he gets ready to shoot from close range.

  14. Postpublished at 16:29 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    QPR 2-2 Bournemouth

    Luis Sinisterra's header nearly creeps in, but there's not enough power and it allows Asmir Begovic to recover and gather it up quickly.

    A moment later and Sinisterra fires another strike just wide. It's all Bournemouth now.

    That second goal has really put the wind back in Southampton's sails.

    Sekou Mara's neat turn and finish punished a miss from Walsall's Jack Earing a few minutes before and has arguably put this one in the books.

    But Saints are not happy with two goals - they are pushing for a third as the home fans urge them. And Che Adams has just been brought off the bench too.

    Blackburn went behind twice in the first half but are now in control at Ewood Park.

    Arnor Sigurdsson has put them 4-2 ahead against League One Cambridge, adding to the first-half hat-trick from Sammie Szmodics.

    He finds the ball on the left and tucks home at the near post. Nice finish.

    Lewis Baker, who has just returned from a lengthy injury, is back in on the goals for Stoke and they are level again at the Bet365.

    He coolly fires it into the bottom left corner, past the fingertips of diving goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

    Gillingham 0-2 Sheff Utd

    Gillingham shout for a penalty for handball. Not given. No VAR here so we know nobody is coming back to review it.

  19. PENALTY - Stokepublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Stoke 1-2 Brighton

    From the corner, it's been given as handball from Lewis Dunk. He jumped up to win the header, it goes over his head, bounces off the player behind him and he doesn't even see it hit his arm, which is hung up in the air. Nothing he can do about it but there we go.

  20. Postpublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    QPR 2-2 Bournemouth

    It was looking so good for QPR at half-time, but they have hardly had a chance after the break.

    Bournemouth have another corner. Alex Scott attempts the same cross in, but Kieffer Moore is nowhere to be found this time around.
