  1. GREAT SAVE!

    Leeds 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Another chance for the hosts, as Stuart Dallas' cross is headed into the path of Jack Harrison, but Boro keeper Aynsley Pears is equal to his effort.

    It's five star Robins at Ashton Gate.

    Andreas Weimann rounds Huddersfield keeper Kamil Grabara and slots home from a narrow angle for the fifth.

  3. Brentford 5-0 Luton

    Luton boss Graeme Jones makes a double change at the break, as Brendan Galloway and Luke Bolton on for Andrew Shinnie and Harry Cornick.

    Will it make a difference? The Hatters have a mountain to climb.

  4. SUBSTITUTION

    Bristol City 4-1 Huddersfield

    One change at Ashton Gate during the break for Huddersfield, Josh Koroma comes on for Adama Diakhaby who replaced Fraizer Campbell early in the game who limped off injured.

  5. CLOSE!

    Stoke 0-1 Blackburn

    Early chance after the break for the home side as Tom Ince has a strike from range which is not too far away from the top-left corner but flies just over the bar.

  6. Nottm Forest 0-1 Cardiff

    Cardiff are looking to keep up their unbeaten start under Neil Harris.

    Hold on at the City Ground and the Bluebirds will also have their first away league win of the season at the 10th attempt.

  7. KICK-OFF

    The second halves are kicking off around the country.

    Will the goals keep flying in?

    Birmingham's match against Millwall was the only game in the Championship goalless at the break.

  9. Phew! The half-time whistles have gone across the Championship.

    Just the 18 goals across the nine games so far...

  10. goal

    GOAL: Brentford 5-0 Luton

    Josh Dasilva (45+3 mins)

    I told you this could get ugly, and for Luton it has as Brentford make it five before the break.

    Said Benrahma dinks a ball over the top to Josh Dasilva who jinks past his man and then rolls home under James Shea from a tight angle

    That's his second of the afternoon and the least that Brentford deserve. They have been utterly dominant.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Leeds 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Mateusz Klich (45+ 3 mins)

    Mateusz Klich scoresRex Features

    Leeds double their lead just before the break and get a cushion.

    After a quick transition forward, Mateusz Klich sends the ball into the Boro net with the help of a deflection.

    The Whites are heading for a fifth win in a row and going top of the league.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Derby 1-1 QPR

    Ebere Eze pen (45+4 mins)

    Ebere Eze makes no mistake from the spot to grab his seventh goal of the season and level things up at Pride Park.

  13. PENALTY TO QPR

    Derby 1-0 QPR

    Goalscorer Martyn Waghorn trips Bright Osayi-Samuel, and Rangers have a chance to level things up before half-time!

  14. Stoke 0-1 Blackburn

    Rovers still lead in this one, not much really to report other than Stoke really have not got going.

    On you go.

  15. Leeds 1-0 Middlesbrough

    At Elland Road, goalscorer Patrick Bamford gets onto the end of a ball in from Jack Harrison.

    But his header is straight at Boro keeper Aynsley Pears.

    The visitors have had to soak up a lot of pressure since that early goal.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Brentford 4-0 Luton

    Josh Dasilva (40 mins)

    It's far too easy for the Bees.

    Josh Dasilva is in acres of space on the edge of the area and curls a left-footed shot past Luton keeper James Shea.

    Hatters boss Graeme Jones will surely give his side both barrels at the break.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Bristol 4-1 Huddersfield

    Ashley Williams (40 mins)

    What a game at Ashton Gate, five goals in the first-half and four of them scored by Bristol City.

    Niclas Eliasson scorer of the Robins' third turns provider crossing in for Ashley Williams who heads home.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Bristol City 3-1 Huddersfield

    Niclas Eliasson (36 mins)

    Straight from the re-start Bristol City restore their two-goal lead.

    Niclas Eliasson, so often a provider for the Robins this season, scores with a bullet header from Josh Brownhill's cross.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Wigan 1-0 Reading

    Joe Garner (34 mins)

    Reading might have been on top... but now they're behind.

    From Anthony Pilkington's corner, Joe Garner sees his initial effort saved but he is on hand to slot home the rebound from close range.

  20. goal

    GOAL: Brentford 3-0 Luton

    Mathias Jensen (33 mins)

    Two in the space of four minutes for the Bees.

    This time it is Mathias Jensen who gets on the scoresheet, sweeping home from 10 yards out after a slick team move cut through the Luton defence.

    Brenford were beaten at Blackburn in midweek but are well set for a sixth win in eight now.
