    That just about does it for us today but there has been drama at both ends of the Championship as well as across the English Football League.

    We have new leaders in Fulham, while Derby miraculously move off the bottom of the table having put their off-the-field issues aside once again.

    We've got more action to bring you tomorrow as Hull take on Stoke in tomorrow's early kick-off, so until then, thank you for joining us.

  2. Meanwhile at the other end

    #bbcefl

    Is the great escape on?

    Derby, for all their off-the-field issues, look in fine form under Wayne Rooney at the minute and are now just eight points off safety.

    They also move off the bottom of the table at the expense of Barnsley.

  8. Post update

    Well, a little later than usual, we'll round up all the afternoon's main events in our full-time headlines shortly....

  9. FULL-TIME

    Fulham 6-2 Bristol City

    Some week for Fulham!

    Thirteen goals in two matches and other results going their way sees them go top of the table.

  10. FULL-TIME

    Millwall 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    A last-gasp Lewis Grabban strike seals victory for Nottingham Forest.

    That ends Forest's run of being unbeaten in six home league games against Forest, stretching back to 2013.

  11. GOAL: Millwall 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    Lewis Grabban (90+2 mins)

    Late drama at The Den!

    After twice going close to a winner in the second half, Lewis Grabban at last gets the ball into the back of the net from close range.

  12. INJURY TIME

    Fulham 6-2 Bristol City

    Three additional minutes in this one...

  13. Post update

    Fulham 6-2 Bristol City

    Just over five minutes still to play and Fulham have put the handbrake on it appears in this second half.

  14. Post update

    Millwall 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    We are still playing at Millwall due to kick-off being delayed earlier.

    Lewis Grabban has - not for the first time this afternoon - gone within inches of opening the scoring for the visitors.

    The Lions scramble the ball out for a corner, then go on the counter-attack and Benik Afobe's shot is saved at the other end.

  15. FULL-TIME

    QPR 1-0 West Brom

    Charlie Austin with the header with a minute of normal time to play hands QPR the win.

    A great result for the hosts to underline their promotion credentials.

    West Brom winless in four now.

  16. FULL-TIME

    Huddersfield 1-1 Swansea

    Swansea pushed and pushed and eventually found a late leveller through Flynn Downes to cancel out a great early showing from play-off chasing Huddersfield.

  17. Post update

    Huddersfield 1-1 Swansea

    So close!

    Joel Piroe flicks a header just wide in added time for Swansea.

  18. FULL-TIME

    Middlesbrough 2-1 Reading

    Late, late win for Boro who came from behind.

    Matt Crooks' brace steals the points for them after Andy Carroll had put Reading ahead.

    The Royals' poor run goes on.

  19. FULL-TIME

    Peterborough 1-4 Coventry

    Peterborough pulled a goal back before the break to give themselves hope, but in reality there was only ever one winner in this match.

  20. FULL-TIME

    Preston 1-1 Birmingham City
