Full-time: West Ham 4-0 Doncaster Rovers

The Hammers led from the second minute and didn’t let up. Not a fun day out for the South Yorkshiremen.

Gary Rowett’s team are not on form, and the Robins made short work of them.

A second consecutive win for the first time in a long time for Graham Potter’s team.

Full-time: Barnsley 1-0 Norwich

A good win for the Tykes against the league leaders.

Full-time: Rangers 5-0 Ross County. And Steven, one of the few football men known by his first-name (Brendan is another, as is Rafa. And Kenny. It’s Liverpool, isn’t it?), is sitting pretty.

Goal! Swansea 5-1 Nottingham Forest (Cooper, 84)

Forest have been hopeless and concede on the counter. Swansea were queueing up to score and it’s Oliver Cooper who gets it.

Derby are still leading at QPR, and Wayne Rooney is on course to claim his first away win of his managerial career. Into the last five minutes of that game now.

Blackpool are pushing on against Brighton but Maupay has gone close and really should have scored. All he could do was hit the goalkeeper. Two matches that may go to extra time are this one and the game at Bramall Lane. And between Barnsley and Norwich.

Goal! Sheffield United 2-1 Plymouth Argyle (Camara, 75)

Nice move from the Pilgrims as the ball is cut back. Camara’s finish is a little soft and Aaron Ramsdale will be very disappointed with that. Game on at Bramall Lane!

Goal! Millwall 0-3 Bristol City (Semenyo, 72)

A driving run, and a lovely cool finish from Antoine Semenyo. Millwall have been bad but Bristol City have been very good at the Den.

In League One, Ipswich’s Paul Lambert purgatory continues, with Peterborough leading 1-0 at Portman Road thanks to a Mark McGuinness OG.

Goal! Swansea 4-1 Nottingham Forest (Cullen, 67)

Another Cullen goal, another move from the left and he slots home. Nice and easy for Steve Cooper’s men, more trouble for Chris Hughton.

Goal! Swansea 3-1 Nottingham Forest (Grimes, 61 pen)

That was a soft penalty, one born of simulation as Joe Worrall wafts a leg at Ryan Manning and referee Kevin Friend gives it. Grimes steps up and scores from the spot.

Mac Allister’s long-range shot is deflected and Graham Potter’s team have a lead they perhaps do not deserve.

Goal! Millwall 0-2 Bristol City (Wells, 58)

Goal! West Ham 3-0 Doncaster (Butler, 54 own-goal)

Doncaster’s day is not going well. It’s a an unfortunate own-goal by Andy Butler.

Goal! Sheffield United 2-0 Plymouth (Sharp, 47)
