Lincoln have also drawn 1-1 at home, but Sky’s cameras show very low-key celebrations there. They obviously don’t know that MK Dons have lost 2-1 at Tranmere and Mansfield have been held at Northampton, and they are therefore up!
It’s all over at Ipswich in every sense, where a 1-1 draw against Birmingham is not enough to save them!
Millwall have equalised against Sheffield United after all! Cooper heads in the loose ball after a save! It’s 1-1 there, in stoppage time.
Brighton 0-4 Bournemouth
Burnley 1-0 Cardiff
Southampton 3-1 Wolves
Only Fulham v Everton remains ongoing – they’re playing eight minutes of stoppage time there.
That Woods goal is the easiest he will ever score. McNeil’s cross-shot comes off Bamba’s toe, loops up off the goalkeeper and Woods heads it over the line from about an inch out!
Updated
Brighton are absolutely all over the place now, and Brooks plays the ball to Stanlislas, who curls in from 15 yards!
Updated
Cardiff have huffed, they have puffed, they have been rebuffed – there was another very decent penalty claim a couple of minutes ago – and now they’re stuffed!
Talking of the Championship promotion race, Sheffield United have just enjoyed a massive let-off, Millwall missing a penalty. The Blades lead 1-0.

Derby are a puzzlingly inconsistent side. They have won two games in the last two months, but today they’re 4-0 up against Bolton and Mason Mount has a hat-trick. Surely he’ll be playing in the Premier League next season, and it could still be with Derby, whose play-off hopes remain alive.

What a weekend this has been for Watford, whose rivals for seventh place – Leicester, Everton and Wolves – are all either losing or have already lost. They need to get something from the visit of Arsenal on Monday before they get too excited, mind.
Another goal at the Stadium of Light, and Coventry are back in the lead! It’s Sunderland 4-5 Coventry! As it stands Barnsley who are 4-2 up against 10-man Fleetwood, will go second with Sunderland dropping out of the automatic promotion places.
Another assist for Fraser, and Brighton’s day just keeps on getting worse. Fraser’s pass wasn’t a great one, but Wilson managed to bring it under control, turn and get a shot away, which a self-respecting defence would probably have done something about.

Cheltenham have equalised against Lincoln, but the Imps still stand to celebrate promotion today because Mansfield and MK Dons aren’t winning.
Mee very nearly rubbed salt into Cardiff’s wounds by heading towards the top corner from a corner, but the keeper tips it round the post.
Luton Town, unbeaten in a gazillion games dating back to 13 October, are 2-1 down at Charlton now! And Sunderland have equalised yet again – it’s 4-4 now between them and Coventry!
A lovely, speedy Bournemouth move takes the ball from the goalkeeper and downfield. Brooks plays a one-two with Fraser which absolutely dismantles the home defence, and passes through the keeper’s legs!
Updated
Shane Long can’t stop scoring! Ward-Prowse takes a corner from the left, which is poorly headed away by Jonny. Yoshida tries an overhead which hits a defender and rebounds to him, and this time – while halfway up and halfway down – he prods it through to Long, who is unmarked and has an easy finish! Jonny’s defensive header there was truly hopeless.
Updated
The ball is passed to Babel, just inside Everton’s half but on the burst. And he just keeps on bursting, outpacing Everton’s way-too-high defence, drawing the keeper and then tucking it away!
Updated
Anthony Knockaert fouls Smith, and that’s wild, crazily late and extremely ugly. The referee agrees, and he’s off!
Updated
Portsmouth have restored their two-goal lead against Rochdale, Gareth Evans making the score 3-1.
At Turf Moor, Cardiff are playing excellently this half, but are being let down by an absolute and total inability to score. Junior Hoilett is the latest culprit, running onto a pull-back and crashing a first-time shot absolutely miles high from the penalty spot.
Sunderland v Coventry is turning into a wild goalfest. Coventry were 1-0 up before Sunderland equalised, 3-1 up before Sunderland equalised, and now they’re 4-3 up!

“As a service to the nation, I can report what happens when you replace experienced, top class players with inexperienced, not yet top-class players and pit them against will-never-be-top-class players in the league’s bottom team,” writes Charles Antaki. “Huesca v Barcelona second XI is absolutely dire.”
It’s goalless there at half-time.
“Please don’t let your loyal readers forget about where the day’s real action is: League One, both at the top and the bottom,” pleads Matt Loten. “Sunderland and Coventry have scored three apiece in the first half at the Stadium of Light, and with the mighty Portsmouth and Barnsley both two up in their respective games, it looks like the race to join Luton in the Championship will go right to the wire. It’s no less exciting at the bottom of the table, where Walsall, Wimbledon, Rochdale and Southend are among seven or eight teams who could end the day in the relegations places. Very few upsets at the moment, but everything could change between now and 4.45.”
A quick update to all that: Rochdale have just pulled a goal back at Portsmouth, whose lead is now 2-1.
That’s a lovely finish! Wilson bursts into the Brighton half from the right and passes across to Fraser, who collects and then sends a shot dipping over the keeper and into the top left corner! His left foot slipped just as he was swinging his right, which probably helped to add a bit of dip, curve and random direction to the ball.

“Mike Dean got that right,” says Roy Allen. “Neither incident was a handball. The officials got there in the end. Of course, under VAR it would have been a penalty but then every hand/ball contact is.” I agree. The ball definitely hit Mee’s hand twice in 30 seconds, but neither was in any way deliberate.
Cardiff don’t have a penalty! The referee goes to talk to his linesman, and is persuaded to change his mind! There was a shot that hit Mee’s arm, but it was not in an unnatural position and there was no move towards the ball. Then it’s crossed back in, Mee heads it into his right hand, and this one the referee spots – but Burnley get away with it!
Updated
Cardiff City have a penalty! The referee thinks Mee has handled the ball, and points to the spot!
A matter of seconds into the second half, and Fulham have the lead!
Updated
“The Burnley v Cardiff game is a very nice bad-tempered affair,” reports JR. “There’s a whole bunch of red-ass players on display doing all sorts. I feel that Mike Dean should have handed out his 101st red card to Ashley Barnes who got in Joe Bennett’s grille and kissed him twice. Yes, you heard me right. Anyway, Deano only dished out a yellow but I think surely someone will walk in the second half.”

SPAL have indeed beaten Juventus 2-1. Juve need one more win to become champions, but will do so if Napoli fail to beat Chievo tomorrow.
And that’s half-time. The big scores you need to know:
Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 Zorya Luhansk (Dynamo Kyiv won 1-0 earlier today)
Huesca 0-0 Barcelona (not quite half-time there)
SPAL 2-1 Juventus (almost finished there)
Mornar 0-1 Buducnost Podgorica
Sutjeska 1-0 Lovcen
SPAL are 2-1 up against Juventus now, and the title Champagne might have to go on ice for a week or so.

Ashley Westwood could have scored twice for Burnley, but doesn’t seem inclined to convert one-on-ones today. Also, Southampton should have scored a third against Wolves but Sims puts a simple chance wide!
A decent spell of Brighton attacking ends with Bournemouth running down the other end and scoring! They totally befuddle the Brighton defence, finding Wilson in space on the right of the area and instead of shooting he squares to Gosling, who could have passed again to players either right or left, but instead spins and scores himself!
