    Huddersfield 2-1 Wycombe

    Bottom side Wycombe are putting pressure on their hosts.

    Huddersfield keeper Ryan Schofield is stranded but Daryl Horgan can only put the ball wide, when he really ought to have scored a leveller.

    Derby 2-1 Middlesbrough

    I tell you what, Lee Gregory and Colin Kazim-Richards are forging a decent strike partnership for Derby - which will please manager Wayne Rooney.

    This time Gregory crosses for Kazim-Richards, who heads just over the Boro bar.

    Not much to smile about for Neil Warnock on the Boro touchline.

    Dimitris Giannoulis makes up for the goal he's just gifted to Nick Powell minutes earlier, as he produces a pass to Emiliano Buendia who makes it 3-1 to Norwich!

    Surely they're going back to the top of the Championship now?

    Cardiff 3-0 Coventry

    It's taken them going three down to start playing, but Coventry are certainly knocking on the door now.

    Michael Rose flicks on a high ball towards striker Max Biamou but the Cardiff backline manage to scramble the ball behind.

    At the other end Josh Murphy goes around Sky Blues keeper Marko Marosi but see an effort cleared off the line.

    Ismaila Sarr (55 mins)

    Easy as you like, Watford are five goals up against Bristol City and they're coasting.

    Ismaila Sarr scores his eighth goal of the season and second this afternoon to compound the visitors' misery.

    It comes as he fires a low shot from outside the box and Dean Holden's side look like they've given up.

    Reading 1-0 Millwall

    Can Reading maintain their slender one-goal lead against Millwall as the second half ticks down?

    Well the Royals are putting plenty of pressure on in the opening stages of the second half as Lewis Gibson's cross to Lucas Joao is cleared away by the visitors.

  9. Four goals for Wykepublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February 2021

    League One latest

    This is incredible.

    Moments after Doncaster pull a goal back at Sunderland through an own goal from the keeper, Charlie Wyke makes it 4-1 to the Black Cats with his fourth of the afternoon.

    It's another header, and another Aiden McGeady assist! Four goals, four headers, four McGeady crosses. Madness.

    Elsewhere, Charlton have just made it 2-2 against Gillingham through Jayden Stockley.

    Birmingham 0-1 Luton

    Every home team is winning in the Championship so far, except for Birmingham.

    Nothing by way of chances for the home side as they chase an equaliser.

    Watford 4-0 Bristol City

    Watford aren't holding back despite their four-goal lead.

    Will Hughes, who has already hit the target with an audacious strike this afternoon, tries his luck again from outside the box but fires wide.

    Cardiff 3-0 Coventry

    Coventry centre-back Leo Ostigard heads against the bar as the visitors try to find a way back into this one.

    He's an aerial beast, the on-loan Brighton defender, but Cardiff remain comfortable for now.

  13. CLOSE!published at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February 2021

    Norwich 2-0 Stoke

    An early penalty call for Stoke as Nathan Collins goes tumbling but referee Jeremy Simpson isn't having any of it.

    Minutes later, Kenny McLean almost had an absolute nightmare as he tries a back pass, but Steven Fletcher is in on goal, rounds Tim Krul and gets a shot away but Grant Hanley is there to save the day and clear the effort.

    Josh Murphy (46 mins)

    Cardiff pick up where they left off and have a third.

    The impressive Perry Ng takes a quick free-kick to play in Josh Murphy, who shoots low across Marko Marosi into the far corner.

    It's going to need something very special from Coventry now.

    16 first-half goals in seven Championship games. Hugely enjoyable after the snoozefest between Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth earlier!

  19. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February 2021

    Huddersfield 2-1 Wycombe

    Many will have written bottom side Wycombe off when they fell behind to goals from Huddersfield's Juninho Bacuna and Isaac Mbenza.

    But right on the stroke of half-time Anis Mehmeti showed some quality to halve their deficit, and it's game on.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February 2021

    Lee Gregory has a had a full debut to remember for Derby - scoring one and setting up the other for Colin Kazim-Richards, who thumped home from long range.

    Boro have been poor but are still in this thanks to a Neeskens Kebano goal.
