    GOAL: Stoke 2-0 Middlesbroughpublished at 16:30 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March

    Lewis Baker (71 mins)

    Middlesbrough are caught out from a corner that is played low to the front post.

    The ball is played back to Lewis Baker, who makes the most of being unmarked on the edge of the box.

    His shot takes a big deflection on the way home, but it's another huge goal for the relegation-threatened Potters.

    Swansea 2-1 Blackburn

    Dafydd Pritchard

    Those Swansea nerves we were talking about earlier today? They're back.

    Blackburn are back in this game and no surprise it's the Championship's top scorer, Sammie Szmodics, who has delivered again.

    It was a soft goal to concede from a Swans perspective, with Szmodics allowed the freedom of the penalty area to volley in from a free-kick.

    Sammie Szmodics (67 mins)

    What was that we were saying earlier about always having hope with Sammie Szmodics on the pitch?

    Well the Championship top scorer has just helped himself to a 19th league goal, and 25th in all competitions, to halve the deficit.

    Now it really will be nervy times for Swansea who have won just four home league games all season.

    Luke Williams has lost his opening four home league games as Swans boss.

    Norwich 0-0 Sunderland

    Norwich are turning the screw as they push for the opener.

    Christian Fassnacht and Gabriel Sara are the latest to go close for the Canaries but Sunderland are holding on.

    Norwich have won seven of their last nine home league games, including the last four in a row.

  5. 'Cruel for Plymouth'published at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March

    Plymouth 0-1 Ipswich

    Alan Seabrook
    BBC Radio Devon commentator

    That's a really tough one to take, especially because Brendan Galloway has played so well this afternoon.

    Plymouth's effort deserves a point but it isn't clear where a goal will come from.

    Cruel.

    Big, BIG goal for struggling Sheffield Wednesday!

    The away side have had the better of this and they have the goal their dominance has merited.

    Ike Ugbo bags his fifth goal in six games from close range.

    Birmingham 2-3 Southampton

    Che Adams hits double figures for the first time since he last played for Birmingham.

    There are absolute limbs to my right hand side

    Buckle up and hold on tight...

    Crazy scenes as Southampton take the lead for the first time today.

    Will Smallbone finds Che Adams at the back post, and the forward fires low to make it 3-2.

    Saints were two goals down only five minutes ago. Amazing.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Plymouth 0-1 Ipswichpublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March

    Brendan Galloway (own goal) (63 mins)

    NOW THEN!

    Ipswich going back up to second and, as it stands, within three points of leaders Leicester.

    Conor Chaplin's shot takes a big old deflection off Brendan Galloway and hits the back of the net.

    Preston 0-0 Hull City

    Hull City forward Jaden Philogene drives across the face of goal and then hits a firm shot that draws an excellent save from Preston keeper Freddie Woodman.

    Rotherham 0-0 Sheff Wed

    The home side go close for the first time today.

    Sam Nombe has a crack from range and the ball flies just wide of the post.

    Leicester 1-2 QPR

    Matt Piper
    Former Foxes winger on BBC Radio Leicester

    Scoring your first goal for Leicester is a big deal, but Ben Nelson didn't milk it at all.

    He just walked back to his half to get the game going again.

    If Vardy equalises this place will erupt.

    David Brooks (55 mins)

    Southampton level for a second time today.

    And it is a super curled finish from David Brooks that has the Saints marched back into the contest.

    He cuts in from the left, manages to beat a few defenders then is on the money with his effort from outside the box.

    Ben Nelson (60 mins)

    Championship leaders Leicester have a goal back!

    Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall initially tests QPR goalkeeper Asmir Begovic with a effort from a short free-kick.

    Ben Nelson is quickest to follow up and latches onto the loose ball for his first Leicester goal

    Swansea 2-0 Blackburn

    No sign of a Blackburn comeback so far.

    Rovers are still yet to win under John Eustace (D4 L1) and of course exited the FA Cup against Newcastle on penalties on Tuesday.

    I wonder if the exertions there are catching up with them.

    With Championship top scorer Sammie Szmodics in their ranks there's always hope.

    Plymouth 0-0 Ipswich

    Well, well, well.

    Leicester's league blip looks to be continuing then.

    Can Ipswich capitalise?

    A win today will move them up to second and, potentially, within three points of the table-topping Foxes.

    Leif Davis crosses in for Kieffer Moore but his header lacks power and Conor Hazard makes a routine stop in the Pilgrims goal.

  17. 'Armstrong milking celebrations'published at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March

    Leicester 0-2 QPR

    Matt Piper
    Former Foxes winger on BBC Radio Leicester

    Where are all the Leicester players?

    Sinclair [Armstrong] is milking the celebrations, as he should... he's only just come on!

    There's no urgency or aggression from the home side.

    Bad has just got a whole lot worse for Championship leaders Leicester.

    Sinclair Armstrong has just come off the bench as part of a double change for QPR, and smashes home a second for the visitors.

    A free-kick is floated into the box, and the substitute makes the most of Leicester's inability to clear the ball when it was knocked down.

    Preston 0-0 Hull City

    Preston are on top now.

    Ryan Allsop makes a decent save to deny Emil Riis a goal in a fifth successive match.

  20. Postpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March

    Leicester 0-1 QPR

    The first few minutes of the second half have been all Leicester City's.

    Foxes boss Enzo Maresca demands possession and control above all else.

    QPR will be poked and prodded from all angles as Leicester try to find a way back into this game as they look to bounce back from two successive defeats in the league.

    As it stands, their lead at the summit is down to five points.
