14m ago 16.43 CET West Brom 3-0 Preston: Josh Maja strokes home his second goal of the game from five yards out after some dogged work by Darnell Furlong, who would almost certainly have won his side a penalty if the ball hadn?t broken to his teammate after he was fouled. Share
15m ago 16.41 CET Leeds United 0-0 Blackburn Rovers: It remains scoreless in what is arguably the Championship game of the afternoon, where Blackburn have restricted their hosts to just one shot on target. Share

37m ago 16.20 CET League Two: In the big game in the fourth division, Notts County?s Alassana Jatta has been denied what looked a certain goal by a quite astonishing and entirely intentional backheeled goalline clearance by - I think - Walsall?s Evan Weir. Seek it out, if you can ? Share

1h ago 15.27 CET Result: Plymouth 2-2 Bristol City It?s finished all square at Home Park, where managerless Plymouth came from behind twice to earn a precious point in their fight against relegation.

2h ago 14.30 CET Today?s action so far: QPR have taken advantage of some slack defending from the visitors to lead Watford 2-0 at half-time courtesy of a couple of goals that came on the back of set-pieces. Swiss striker Michael Frey fired home from a Kieran Morgan pull-back to bag his fifth of the season, while Jimmy Dunne nodded a second from an Ilias Chair cross. At Home Park, Plymouth?s Ryan Hardie fired over the bar with the goal gaping before his side went behind to a strike from Bristol City?s Anis Mehmeti. It?s currently all square at the Den between Millwall and Oxford United, but the home side are in the ascendency, should be in front and have also had a decent penalty appeal turned down.
