00:00:00With three games to go in the EFL, things are getting serious.
00:00:23Luton Town have a huge game here at Kennewath Road in their battle to avoid the drop, but
00:00:28we start at the opposite end of the championship, where automatic promotion could be settled.
00:00:33Leeds and Burnley came into the weekend locked together on 91 points, with Sheffield United
00:00:38five adrift.
00:00:39The leaders hosted Stoke at 3pm, while second and third played each other at Turf Moor in
00:00:44a potentially decisive fixture.
00:00:46Let's do things in chronological order, starting at Elland Road.
00:00:51Victory for Leeds, coupled with the Blades failing to win at Burnley, would be enough
00:00:54to clinch promotion for Daniel Farka's side.
00:00:58It's a challenge that had to be absolutely right from Wouter Berger, from a Stoke perspective
00:01:14and a few other clubs looking on.
00:01:16They've got themselves into a mess here, Stoke, Solomon, Kampani, Stoke, here he does!
00:01:21An outpouring of joy!
00:01:23An outpouring of joy!
00:01:24And they can reach out and touch it now!
00:01:30And they're experiencing it again, Pirou once more!
00:01:37Sheer ecstasy at Elland Road!
00:01:42And it was Pirou's double in the Potteries over Christmas.
00:01:45He's already got a double in the first eight minutes of Easter!
00:01:58Tanaka, back to Nonto.
00:02:01He'll get another chance.
00:02:04Oh, and Pirou's there!
00:02:06And that trick in less than 20 minutes!
00:02:11Quite extraordinary.
00:02:16The team that wants this done and dusted here today, and this game is done and dusted before
00:02:23we're a quarter of the way in.
00:02:25Solomon wants it back, but he'll leave it for Tanaka.
00:02:34Oh, Bogle away from Wilson Esbrand!
00:02:37Oh, Junior Pitbull!
00:02:42Well, everything's going their way!
00:02:44And the mood they're in.
00:02:46Well, this could be anything by the end.
00:02:49It's just getting harder and harder for Stoke City to keep Leeds out,
00:02:52and I just wonder what score this is going to be.
00:02:54Leeds carry on like this, and I don't see them letting up.
00:02:57They'll be looking for five and six.
00:03:01And Padoue.
00:03:03Out to Aronson.
00:03:09Helped on by Junior Firpo.
00:03:12Bogor!
00:03:13And Pirou's there again!
00:03:15It's going to go in!
00:03:17Well, an extraordinary afternoon for Joel Pirou.
00:03:21Leeds full of rampant desire, but Leeds could not do any more to underline their credentials for a Premier League place.
00:03:32Solomon to Curley, Nonto!
00:03:43Well, if you're looking for a flag, but nothing will dampen Willy Nonto's delight.
00:03:47And a player who perhaps needed a lift after a difficult night personally at Oxford has got it.
00:03:59And piling on the agony for a woeful Stoke City.
00:04:02Brendan Aronson leaves the stage, but the spotlight of senior football shines on a new name already very familiar in these parts.
00:04:20I think the emotion on Eddie Gray's face there will be shared by a good number.
00:04:27As emphatic a performance as it is possible to produce.
00:04:34The attitude, the driven nature of this Leeds performance was one well, well worthy of a team challenging for promotion.
00:04:44And that prize is now very much in sight. It may just be a little over a couple of hours away.
00:04:52Just how happy were you with what you got from your team today?
00:04:55Yes, proud of the boys. It's not easy to deliver in this pressure situation.
00:05:00So when it's crunch time, and we've done this game day after game day in the recent weeks.
00:05:05And especially also this quick turnaround. And then against a sight was in red hot form before.
00:05:10Such an emphatic start. And to win this game, 6-9, clean sheet, many goals.
00:05:15Could have scored perhaps even a few more. So, fantastic performance of the Leeds.
00:05:19I'm pretty proud of the boys. The quality, but also the mentality they've shown today.
00:05:24So we deserve to win this game today.
00:05:26So it was all eyes on turf more to see if Burnley could confirm automatic promotion for themselves and Leeds.
00:05:32Sheffield United could only keep their hopes of a top two finish alive if they could avoid defeat.
00:05:39Storm Leeds, United have blown Stoke City away. Promotion within touching distance for them.
00:05:44How about Burnley? How about Sheffield United?
00:05:47Who have to keep themselves alive and keep this going.
00:05:50And they're looking to start on the front foot. It's Kiefer Moore immediately.
00:05:54And it's straight to James Trafford. But that is a signal of the Blades' intent here.
00:06:02Rearson Diaz turns into trouble. Here goes Hannibal.
00:06:07Jayden Anthony.
00:06:11Jack Robinson defending. It's gone to Anthony. It's Ian Fleming.
00:06:14Well, that could have gone anywhere.
00:06:16There's Cullen.
00:06:21Now Edwards.
00:06:25No room for the cross.
00:06:29And it's Cullen to pretend to make the save, but on the follow-up was Josh Brownhill.
00:06:34Of course it was.
00:06:39One swing of a boot.
00:06:41One giant leap towards the Premier League for Burnley and for Leeds United.
00:06:47Ackman Hodzic.
00:06:56Harmer again.
00:06:57Gustavo Harmer and once again Shrappard is behind it.
00:07:02It's a dipping look. He gets his body right behind it. Brilliant hands.
00:07:06First harmer. Through the gap here for Tom Cannon. Bang! Suddenly it changes.
00:07:21Tom Cannon with his first goal for Sheffield United. He thumped it home.
00:07:28Powerful. Into the roof of the net.
00:07:31And it's game on.
00:07:38Harmer ball. He goes down.
00:07:40And there's a penalty.
00:07:42Penalty for Burnley.
00:07:44It's as easy as decisions get for referees.
00:07:47Ahmed Hodzic is so late.
00:07:51Nerves of steel needed.
00:07:57Josh Brownhill.
00:08:01No messing about.
00:08:03This is not the time to mess about.
00:08:06This could be promotion time for Burnley.
00:08:13Fleming looking to attack it. Kiefer Moore gets to it.
00:08:17The header goes straight to Edwards.
00:08:23Burnley not done yet. Hannibal with the touch. Anthony trying to get there.
00:08:27There's Gustavo Harmer who brings the ball.
00:08:30Under his spell beautifully.
00:08:31And he's got it again.
00:08:32He looks to release Cannon.
00:08:34Could be three against two here.
00:08:36In Sheffield United's favour.
00:08:37It's Brereton Diaz.
00:08:40And the former Blackburn Rovers player fires over at Turfmoor.
00:08:44Cannon has got runners left.
00:08:45Harrison Burrows goes for Brereton Diaz.
00:08:48It's just a fraction behind him.
00:08:49But that has to be the order of the day.
00:08:51Look how close.
00:08:52Look, if it is to be the playoffs for Sheffield United,
00:08:56Chris Wilder knows he has to change the mentality around the club
00:08:59about facing playoffs.
00:09:00And the Bremna Suite at Elland Road.
00:09:05The Leeds United players and staff wait.
00:09:08They blew Stoke City away at Elland Road.
00:09:11Basically in 45 first-half minutes today.
00:09:14There's Sariki.
00:09:21Anel Ahmed Hodzic.
00:09:25It's Gustavo Harmer who fires wide.
00:09:28Let's see what he's trying to do.
00:09:29He has to slice across this ball to get it to spin towards the goal.
00:09:34Can't pull it off.
00:09:37Six minutes from the Premier League.
00:09:40The gap year for Burnley is almost over.
00:09:43Burnley will dance with the stars again.
00:09:52They've reached for the stars.
00:09:54And they've reached football's grandest, greatest, richest destination
00:10:00for Premier League.
00:10:02Burnley have done it.
00:10:04Hurt and wounded by Premier League past.
00:10:07But now rebuilt.
00:10:09They are back.
00:10:10A-listers again.
00:10:11Their recovery complete.
00:10:14Burnley promoted to the Premier League.
00:10:20So that result at Turf Moor meant a promotion party back at Elland Road
00:10:24for Daniel Farker and his players.
00:10:34Congratulations to Leeds and Burnley who will be playing Premier League football from next season.
00:10:38But next we focus on events here at Kenilworth Road as relegation battlers Luton Town take on Playoff Chasers Bristol City.
00:10:47Welcome back to Kenilworth Road where Luton and Bristol City are both in search of vital points to help achieve their very different goals.
00:11:02The home start is crucial victory at Derby County with new life into their survival hopes.
00:11:07A repeat could see the Hatters climb out of the relegation zone.
00:11:10And the visitors also secured an important win on Friday.
00:11:13Liam Manninside are closing in on their first second tier top six finish for 17 years.
00:11:19Your match commentators are Darren Ambrose and Stephen Wyeth.
00:11:23Well with two games in quick succession over the Easter weekend changes today.
00:11:28Two of them enforced for Luton.
00:11:30Kai Ney Smith can't face his parent club.
00:11:32And Jordan Clark has a knock so Terin Mengi starts for the first time since recovering from a knee injury.
00:11:38And Liam Walsh returns to the midfield.
00:11:41Well Bristol City also make a pair of changes.
00:11:44Marcus McGuane replaces Joe Williams in midfield.
00:11:47And top scorer Anis Mameti is recalled after a substitute appearance in Friday's victory over Sunderland.
00:11:54Can't argue with the work that either Liam Manning or Matt Bloomfield have done in recent weeks
00:11:59to give their teams a chance of achieving their goals.
00:12:03Still much to be decided through the last three games.
00:12:12Morris.
00:12:14Getting his head up considering his options.
00:12:16Delivering across that has ultimately produced a fine save from O'Leary.
00:12:22What a save.
00:12:24Good run Colton Morris.
00:12:26Gets to the bind.
00:12:27I love a little step over.
00:12:28Good feet in the box.
00:12:29Gets to the bind.
00:12:30And just deflects off Asgard.
00:12:31And that reaction from Max O'Leary.
00:12:33Brilliant save to keep this at 0-0.
00:12:38Liam Walsh.
00:12:41The ball towards Morris who wins the header.
00:12:43Ali's in there.
00:12:44Ali gets there.
00:12:45And it's Roberts who heads the ball clear.
00:12:52Asgard has scored.
00:12:54How big might that goal prove to be for Luton Town.
00:12:59Tilo Asgard taking aim and finding a way through.
00:13:04In the battle for survival at the foot of the championship.
00:13:07Luton Town have just given themselves a massive lift.
00:13:11And a team that went 12 games without a win from Christmas onwards could be on their way to a fifth win in ten.
00:13:24McCrory.
00:13:28Headed away by Mengi.
00:13:29Thumbed back in by Tanner.
00:13:30Tanner.
00:13:33The response from Bristol City.
00:13:35Immediate and emphatic.
00:13:39Goals exchanged in a blink of an eye.
00:13:42It's 1-1.
00:13:44Wow.
00:13:45What a strike.
00:13:46What a strike.
00:13:47George Tanner on the volley.
00:13:54Morris at full stretch controls.
00:13:57Colton Morris.
00:13:58Hapted to go for goal himself.
00:14:02Any sort of touch on the ball might have made things interesting.
00:14:05And it was deflected a couple of times I believe for a corner.
00:14:08Taken by Walsh.
00:14:09Driven in by Walsh.
00:14:11Confusion caused.
00:14:13A chance.
00:14:14And forced in.
00:14:16Carlton Morris with the goal.
00:14:18Might just be a huge one.
00:14:22For Morris the Luton captain and for Luton Town.
00:14:25How strong was he?
00:14:28Holding off McCrory and left foot into the bottom corner.
00:14:32They've just kept the cycle in play.
00:14:34It's a little goal mouth scramble.
00:14:36Colton Morris.
00:14:45Here comes Jones.
00:14:47And Jones is still going.
00:14:49Jones is in.
00:14:51And might just have settled the contest in Luton Town's favour.
00:14:56Isaiah Jones to make it 3-1.
00:15:00What about this for a goal?
00:15:03He does everything right.
00:15:05Drives.
00:15:06He's done that all game.
00:15:08Driving in between the defenders.
00:15:11Isaiah Jones.
00:15:12What a finish.
00:15:13Bristol City needs something soon.
00:15:14Maybe Armstrong can provide it.
00:15:15Armstrong powering away.
00:15:16He's done brilliantly.
00:15:17He's gone to ground.
00:15:18And the decision that Bristol City were expecting has not been made.
00:15:32Oh, initial viewing I think has to be a penalty.
00:15:35Does everything right.
00:15:36Gets in front of him.
00:15:37I think it's a penalty.
00:15:39Certainly the initial contact was outside the penalty area was the subsequent contact also outside the penalty area.
00:15:45It is a six point Easter weekend for Luton Town that may yet allow them to rise from the relegation places.
00:15:58A team that looked down and out just a few weeks ago still has a big chance at survival.
00:16:05Luton Town 3 Bristol City 1.
00:16:11So a huge three points today here at Kenilworth Road and alongside me Matt Bloomfield who I'm sure the primary emotion is relief for you.
00:16:21Yeah, pride I think at the performance.
00:16:23I'm really pleased and proud of the way we played today.
00:16:26We knew it was a big game for us.
00:16:28Coming off the back of the win at Derby on Friday and we wanted to approach it with the same attacking intent.
00:16:31We obviously at half time we needed a little bit more and the players responded.
00:16:34I thought they were excellent second off.
00:16:36We've been building momentum for a little while.
00:16:37We really believe in the work that we've been doing and we've been really pleased with the way the players have been playing recently.
00:16:42I think that there's been a number of games here where we could have had that big victory that we got today.
00:16:46There's plenty more work to do because of where we are on the table, but we need to turn up against commentary and back up what we did today.
00:16:52It's a must win game proverbial six pointer again like for us.
00:16:55It's a huge picking up points at this end of the season.
00:16:57All the pressure was on us and the pressure was on the lads and to be fair to them they performed.
00:17:01A frustrating afternoon, I'm sure.
00:17:03Probably not the result that you wanted here.
00:17:04What's your assessment of the team's performance?
00:17:06Yeah, I think you assessed it quite accurately with the word frustrating, especially second half.
00:17:11I thought first half wasn't a lot in it.
00:17:12I thought we had a couple of decent chances and unfortunately we, you know, just a few too many errors today, which only cost us.
00:17:18I'm putting all of it on the referee.
00:17:20We weren't, you know, at the level we needed to be today, but at the same point I didn't think him or his staff were.
00:17:24I thought, you know, especially the second half, how he managed it, you know, the occasion.
00:17:28I thought he didn't do a great job of that and ultimately I thought, you know, he got a major decision wrong as well.
00:17:32I take great pride in my job. I love my job. I'm really pleased to be here, really proud to be manager of Luton.
00:17:37And we've been working incredibly hard with the group of players to try and improve our league position.
00:17:42The results have been coming recently and we want to back that out.
00:17:45There's so many contributing factors that have put us in the position we're in right now.
00:17:48And, you know, seeing the way the lads are coming together now and battling tooth and nail to try and get ourselves out of it.
00:17:54I'm so proud of the boys in there, man, because they're taking so much stick.
00:17:58It's a great feeling, but, you know, the job's nowhere near finished yet. So, two more games.
00:18:01We've done nothing yet. There's, there's, obviously, there's plenty more work to be done and we've got to approach the commentary game
00:18:06in exactly the same mindset. And if we can do that, hopefully we'll put on another show for our supporters.
00:18:11Cardiff City have rolled the dice by replacing Omarica with Aaron Ramsey for the final three games of the campaign.
00:18:17With the Bluebirds in the relegation zone, Ramsey could not afford a slow start against Oxford United.
00:18:30Fish. Mansfield.
00:18:33It's a good turn by Robertson, who lays it back, and the shot by Willock. Off target. Found in a good position, Chris Willock. Unable to make the most of the opportunity, though.
00:18:46Nice and wonderful chance. I'm not sure they're going to get much better.
00:18:49It's O'Dowder. Supporters urging him to shoot. Instead, gives it to Willock. And Salic has found the back of the net with his header.
00:19:03It's a huge goal in Cardiff City's season. Yousef Salic breaks the deadlock. Without a goal in six games. But that is a crucial header beyond the dime of Jamie Cumming.
00:19:21What is always going to come about in this manner. The second half, down the left flank again, as it was in the first half.
00:19:27It's been constructed from Cardiff City.
00:19:30Celebrations for Aaron Ramsey. His first goal as a manager.
00:19:37Hellick. Good run with a nice turn. And he was hacked down. And we're going to see another yellow card.
00:19:53And Krempe from Mansvirt. Mansvirt in midfield for Cardiff City has worked hard as the game has gone on.
00:20:01He's had more of an influence. What can Oxford United create from this free kick?
00:20:07Goodrum and Brannigan both over the ball.
00:20:11It's teed up for Brannigan to hit! A stunner from Cameron Brannigan!
00:20:22My word! Picked that one out! And it's a beauty from Cameron Brannigan!
00:20:34My goodness me, where did that come from?
00:20:43And there's the full-time whistle. It's a big blow for Cardiff City. Full-time here at the Cardiff City Stadium.
00:20:51Cardiff City won. Oxford United won.
00:20:56We can take so many positives from that performance. It's just unfortunate, you know. Football's cruel at times.
00:21:02And, you know, when their only shot on target goes in from 35 yards, you know, it's quite tough to take, you know, after the performance. And the players put in, really. They give everything.
00:21:17Derby County's damaging defeat to Luton dragged them back into serious danger. With the Rams only outside the drop zone on goal difference, hosts West Brom found themselves six points adrift of the playoffs.
00:21:29Derby in swinging corner. Right underneath the crossbar. And it's turned in at the near post. And Derby County lead.
00:21:44Derby County lead. Ebu Adams has weighed in with a precious goal inside seven minutes.
00:21:56The flick on at the near. It must be 2-0. It is. It's turned over the line by Gerry Yates.
00:22:03The flick on at the near opening up West Brom. And it was an unmissable tap over the line.
00:22:11Derby really do have to hang on for the win. And they might concede here through Armstrong. And they have.
00:22:19And Armstrong has always had a predatory instinct about his play.
00:22:26And once he was flagged onside, it was about keeping his temperament. And he did.
00:22:32Physical presence of Mendes' line.
00:22:39There he is, hurtling down and getting to the ball and maybe getting a third goal, which he does.
00:22:47And he has just put in a decisive third goal here and given Derby a victory, which may well help keep them in the championship.
00:22:59Shortly after full time, West Brom announced they'd parted company with Tony Mowbray, who only rejoined the club three months ago.
00:23:06He leaves the club six points off the playoffs with two games to play.
00:23:10Randall to take the third corner. Headed away by Ellis Sims.
00:23:20Randall again, past Sims. Pulled back towards Bundu, who rifles Argyle in front. What a huge goal for the home side.
00:23:33Van Evijk's long throw.
00:23:40Hiked away by Tajani.
00:23:44Oh, and Van Evijk caught in possession by the goalscorer.
00:23:48Bundu is away. Can he get his shot away here?
00:23:51He's laid it off to the far side for Harney!
00:23:54Absolutely stunning for Plymouth Argyle. They lead by two goals to nil.
00:24:04What a beautiful breakaway goal. Once again, Coventry City simply out muscled.
00:24:14A corner for Coventry City. To be taken by Grimes.
00:24:20Oh, saved by the goalkeeper! And tucked in by Wright!
00:24:24And they're straight back in it!
00:24:27Yet another Coventry City goal from a corner. They've been lethal from them all season.
00:24:33JB back in. Headed up by Kitching. It's not away! It's not away!
00:24:47It's headed in by Bundu! Incredible!
00:24:52Argyle's two-goal cushion is restored. And Bundu has his second.
00:24:58Well, they may be bottom of the league, but they are alive and kicking.
00:25:13It's corner into the near post, and it ricochets around,
00:25:16and it was sitting there to be driven home by Lewis Gibson.
00:25:21A goal for Preston North End that is a body blow for Hull City.
00:25:26Amrabat has it for Hull City, and Kamara's onside,
00:25:32clipped back into the middle. Lindsay goes up,
00:25:34and it's still not away from the danger area.
00:25:37Gelhart sticks a boot in, he was caught. Penalty!
00:25:41Brockia raised a boot, and Hull City get a huge call their way.
00:25:47And Gelhart delivers. Cornell was so close, he dived, he got a hand to it.
00:25:57But Hull City have come out at the start of the second half with more purpose,
00:26:02and they are back on level terms.
00:26:04The back heel to Puerta. Everybody's still there,
00:26:10it goes to the edge of the penalty, Aaron McLaughlin, what a save!
00:26:12And still it's there, and the referee points to the spot again.
00:26:16Pulling the shoulder from towards him that the penalty's given for,
00:26:21just drags Joseph back.
00:26:23So Joe Gelhart has scored once from 12 yards. Can he score again?
00:26:31He can! Gelhart with the goal! With a goal that could be absolutely vital for Hull City!
00:26:39We need the three points, and we need to put a performance,
00:26:44especially in the second half, with a lot of passion, intensity, team spirit,
00:26:50and I saw a team that can fight for absolutely everything until the end.
00:26:59Murphy whips it in, it was an awkward one, Bishop's there,
00:27:03and turns it over the line. Murphy's cross slipped through Selvick's grasp.
00:27:08And Bishop's on hand to make it four goals over the Easter weekend.
00:27:13And Pompey move another big step closer to survival.
00:27:21Vata will pick it up in the channel.
00:27:26Kets the right-footed delivery in, it was easy for Ogilvy to head away.
00:27:32Loser can shoot from this kind of range, it's a good effort! Off the bar!
00:27:36What a strike from Imran, loser!
00:27:48Murphy, the former Oxford player, goes down on the edge of the box.
00:27:52This is going to be another Watford red card.
00:27:55As Murphy is brought down, they were shown two on Good Friday.
00:28:03It's their sixth of the season.
00:28:05And another massive boost for Portsmouth.
00:28:08The rest of today's championship action comes next,
00:28:12as Middlesbrough, Millwall and Blackburn aim to keep their playoff hopes alive.
00:28:16Middlesbrough's late victory over Plymouth kept them within three points of the playoff places.
00:28:31Michael Carrick's no more on the road at Sheffield Wednesday side without a win in six.
00:28:36This is Hackney.
00:28:43Fabulous finish! Azaz!
00:28:48Middlesbrough lead!
00:28:50Shouldn't be happening, Marvin Johnson gives it away in a dangerous area.
00:28:53And then a little dink over the keeper, fantastic.
00:28:58This is Hackney injecting a bit of pace and getting himself into the area and then tumbling to the ground.
00:29:04And the referee's given a penalty.
00:29:06Well, it did look messy, very messy.
00:29:11Chance to make it 2-0 to the visitors.
00:29:14Oh, it's saved, but Conway again should score.
00:29:18Brilliant double save.
00:29:19Still not away by Sheffield Wednesday, it is now.
00:29:22And Piers Charles certainly has reason to be congratulated there for a double save.
00:29:32Sheffield Wednesday, who come forward now with Patterson.
00:29:38And the header is off the post from Smith.
00:29:39Eagleson, and that will be turned in on the goal line by Windas.
00:29:50Josh Windas scores Sheffield Wednesday's first goal at Hillsborough since February.
00:30:02Patterson.
00:30:04Oh, what an opportunity for the youngster.
00:30:06I mean, that is an absolute gift.
00:30:12Masaba.
00:30:14There we go.
00:30:16And Patterson into a dangerous area.
00:30:18Will it break for a Wednesday player?
00:30:20It will!
00:30:22Masaba Saman wheeling away, claiming the goal.
00:30:27And Wednesday have pulled it back.
00:30:33Azaz.
00:30:34Mike Ricochet.
00:30:38Bugs-Hawk.
00:30:39Conway!
00:30:40Oh, he's hit the crossbar.
00:30:42And the ball bounces the wrong side of the line.
00:30:46And Conway, who scored in stoppage time in the last game, should have done so again here.
00:30:53Kramer's in support, tries to pick out Ivanovic, falls to Aziz.
00:31:04And he's got it.
00:31:06Didn't know much about it.
00:31:07And it's Ivanovic with the important early goal.
00:31:08Back-to-back for the Serbian.
00:31:09Tanganga!
00:31:10And it was Aziz who got the touch.
00:31:13A death flick from Femi Aziz.
00:31:14And it was Aziz who got the touch.
00:31:16A death flick from Femi Aziz.
00:31:18Duffy!
00:31:19And Norwich are back in the game.
00:31:20A poor minute from Millwall.
00:31:21And Norwich capitalise.
00:31:22And Norwich capitalise.
00:31:23And Norwich are back in the game.
00:31:24And Norwich capitalise.
00:31:25And Norwich capitalise.
00:31:26And it was Aziz who got the touch.
00:31:28And it was Aziz who got the touch.
00:31:30A death flick from Femi Aziz.
00:31:39Duffy!
00:31:41And Norwich are back in the game.
00:31:44A poor minute from Millwall.
00:31:46And Norwich capitalise.
00:31:55That's Ivanovic!
00:31:58And that's superb.
00:32:01Another massive goal in the chase for the playoffs.
00:32:10Brown back for Jones.
00:32:11Who just kept on going.
00:32:12And Isidore hits it.
00:32:13And where's it going to end?
00:32:15In the gloves.
00:32:17Balazzov who was delighted to plunge upon it eventually.
00:32:25Oh!
00:32:28Here's Woodrow.
00:32:29On the spin.
00:32:30Looking for Dolan.
00:32:32Who finds a way through the crowd.
00:32:37And for all of Sunderland's attacking probing.
00:32:40It is Blackburn Rovers.
00:32:42Who hit the front after half an hour.
00:32:47Into Le Fay.
00:32:50Fancied it for a moment.
00:32:55And he goes towards Bellingham.
00:33:00Well he was making the late run.
00:33:02To try and make the difference.
00:33:10Here is Taiman who can bring it forward.
00:33:12And he will deliver.
00:33:13A really wonderful ball into the area.
00:33:16It has found its way through into the corner.
00:33:19Final touch.
00:33:22Looked as though it came off of a QPR player.
00:33:24Although Colin is the one to celebrate.
00:33:33Swansea on the break.
00:33:34In a promising position here.
00:33:36And it's Oumji Sung.
00:33:38And it has been scrambled in on the line by Darling.
00:33:41And Swansea have a second.
00:33:43QPR just couldn't deal with the threats.
00:33:45QPR on the attack.
00:33:52And they are in behind.
00:33:55And it is Dembele.
00:33:57Who has given QPR a fighting chance in the game.
00:34:01The substitute with a flash of inspiration.
00:34:04That has been missing for QPR.
00:34:06All afternoon.
00:34:09Congratulations to both Leeds and Burnley.
00:34:11Who have been promoted today.
00:34:12Sheffield United will face the challenge of the playoffs.
00:34:15Which they never won.
00:34:17Bristol City and Coventry were both beaten.
00:34:19Which means Middlesbrough and Millwall.
00:34:21Are within three points of the top six.
00:34:23With two to go.
00:34:25An incredible day in the lower half.
00:34:26With none of the bottom seven going into today losing.
00:34:28And five of those winning.
00:34:30Pymoth Argyle and Cardiff.
00:34:32And now both three points from safety.
00:34:34Six points separate the bottom seven.
00:34:36With six points left to play for.
00:34:38We head to League One after the break.
00:34:40Where Wickham Wanderers and Wrexham.
00:34:42Continue to squabble over the final automatic promotion spot.
00:34:44It's advantage Wickham in the fight to finish second in League One.
00:34:59Mike Dodds' side were a point clear of Wrexham heading into today's action.
00:35:02Almost hung up nicely for Gillespie.
00:35:11This is Doherty.
00:35:15Oh, put it nicely for Jones.
00:35:18And Lloyd-Jones has scored.
00:35:20Well, he had a lot to do from there, didn't he?
00:35:24Jerry Smalls ball, he's put it into the right area as well.
00:35:36And Gillespie was almost there.
00:35:38Oh, that's a rocket.
00:35:40A complete pole driver from Luke Barry.
00:35:44And look at Chartered Athletic.
00:35:48Still waiting for that shot on target at the home side.
00:35:50How much he can do without one of those?
00:35:55Oh, what's he done?
00:35:57He's lost it.
00:35:58And it's in from Godin.
00:36:00Oh, how valuable that is.
00:36:02Nice.
00:36:09Thierry Smalls.
00:36:15Trying to bend one in.
00:36:17And there's the fourth, it's Karai Anderson.
00:36:21And Charlton must be dreaming.
00:36:23Oh, what's gone up here?
00:36:37Oh, that drama all the way through this game.
00:36:39Physicality as well.
00:36:40Anike and Leahy down.
00:36:42Leahy and Anike.
00:36:44A little bit of afters off the ball.
00:36:47Seems rather silly, doesn't it?
00:36:49The scoreline as it is.
00:36:50And here's our red card.
00:36:52Charlton Lake has been sent up.
00:36:54The final score.
00:36:56Rican Wanderers nil.
00:36:58Charlton Athletic forward.
00:37:00Well, look, all we do is take a game as you can.
00:37:02We're not looking at the playoffs.
00:37:03We're not looking at Burton at home on the final game.
00:37:06We're looking at now, the finish.
00:37:08We'll debrief.
00:37:09We'll breathe a little bit.
00:37:11And then we'll move forward with Wrexham.
00:37:14It's a bumper game.
00:37:16We have to go to the circus and see what we can get.
00:37:20It's a fabulous first touch from Rathbuck.
00:37:21Here is Rodriguez.
00:37:22Smith may get there.
00:37:23And into the path of James McLean.
00:37:24And McLean is in.
00:37:25What a save.
00:37:26Somehow kept out by Harry Tyra.
00:37:27Clarence is a tame one.
00:37:28Dobson.
00:37:29That's a fine ball to pick out McLean.
00:37:30Well, run at Evans.
00:37:31McLean whips it in.
00:37:32And all the way through.
00:37:33James McLean has the last laugh once again.
00:37:34And he will take the ball to pick out McLean.
00:37:36Here is Rodriguez.
00:37:37Smith may get there.
00:37:38And into the path of James McLean.
00:37:39And McLean is in.
00:37:40What a save.
00:37:41Somehow kept out by Harry Tyra.
00:37:44Clarence is a tame one.
00:37:46Dobson.
00:37:47That's a fine ball to pick out McLean.
00:37:49A little run at Evans.
00:37:52McLean whips it in.
00:37:54And all the way through.
00:37:55James McLean has the last laugh once again.

00:38:19and right at the death
00:38:20Blackpool have one back
00:38:22Wrexham's clean sheet goes up in smoke
00:38:25it may be too little too late
00:38:28but the hosts have something to show for their efforts
00:38:31Nathan Orient climbed back into the top six on Good Friday at Reading's expense
00:38:35Ritchie Welling's side were hunting a fourth win on the spin
00:38:38at relegation threatened Cambridge United
00:38:43Kaikai shifting into top gear on the left-hand side
00:38:46Beckles is across
00:38:48Zoli Kaikai, can he deliver the cross? He can, it's a good one as well
00:38:51nodded back across the face of goal
00:38:53and in!
00:38:56wonderfully worked by Cambridge
00:39:01Ajay backing away from Dan Ajay to call towards the third post and it goes in brilliantly
00:39:06you know who, he cannot stop scoring
00:39:09Charlie Kelman
00:39:11back come Donnelly with a shot on the turn, wonderful! How about that for a goal?
00:39:20out of nothing
00:39:22Jamie Donnelly delivers
00:39:25good delivery
00:39:27it's level
00:39:28and it's the man who's facing his hometown club who squares the score
00:39:31at Edgley Park
00:39:48Edgley Park
00:39:59Norwood
00:40:01bending it on towards Andreessen who goes down has a look at the referee
00:40:04he's shown a yellow card to Matty Pearson
00:40:07he's shown a yellow card to Matty Pearson
00:40:09and it looks as though he has given the penalty here
00:40:11Norwood against Nicholls
00:40:15and he scores
00:40:17that will do to seal Stockcourt a playoff place
00:40:23and there's a red card here
00:40:33for Callum Marshall
00:40:34for an apparent elbow
00:40:36on Fraser Horsfall
00:40:39and it goes from bad to worse for Huddersfield
00:40:46another Reading move
00:40:47comes and goes without too much concern
00:40:50but they've given the ball away there
00:40:52Ehe Bajeman
00:40:53Wareham
00:40:54Reading lead
00:40:56it's their first shot on target
00:40:58and it's a super finish from Jadon Wareham
00:41:04forward it goes towards Wareham
00:41:06Savage picks it up
00:41:07Savage picks it up
00:41:08Wareham
00:41:09well he knew where his teammate was
00:41:10give it back to Savage
00:41:12big save
00:41:13oh it's a disaster
00:41:15Reading gifts it a second
00:41:18had to slow down
00:41:22not to avoid hurtling into the first row there
00:41:24but he's back on the pitch to win it back
00:41:27and here is Wing
00:41:28Wing encouraged to shoot
00:41:30oh it's absolutely glorious
00:41:32Lewis Wing with a cracker
00:41:35what a cracker
00:41:43Vickers wanted it
00:41:44I think he chose the wrong pass
00:41:46here is Bacus
00:41:48though
00:41:49and Mansfield have one back
00:41:53Savage has picked that up as a poor clearance
00:41:59poor clearance
00:42:00Wareham
00:42:01back to Savage
00:42:02picks out Nibs
00:42:04and the effort again off the post
00:42:08comes back shortly for Wareham

00:42:13given away this is a gift for Nibs
00:42:23to make it five
00:42:25Billy Bowden completes the scoring
00:42:28Reading have put on a serious show
00:42:31they've decided to take it short though here
00:42:46now they'll get the ball in it's a dangerous ball in as well
00:42:49and all the way through and into the back of the net
00:42:52well the big question is
00:42:53did anyone get a touch
00:42:54I don't think they did
00:42:55and it's Ring who is celebrating
00:43:02it's a third corner already for Lincoln
00:43:04and again Baxter didn't come for it
00:43:06and it's not fully cleared
00:43:07and it will be a penalty
00:43:09well he was caught late
00:43:11shake of the head from the referee
00:43:13it's Collins against Baxter
00:43:20it's four in four for James Collins
00:43:28Jones
00:43:30Dakres Coghle
00:43:32who was actually heavily linked with a move to Lincoln City
00:43:35a couple of seasons ago
00:43:36and he's done well there to find Thomason
00:43:39moves it on to Murphy
00:43:40Thomason
00:43:41it's Mitete with the effort
00:43:42they've got one back
00:43:45Bolton back in it

00:43:53good ball in
00:43:54towards the far post
00:43:55and it's 2-2
00:43:56the Trotters fight back
00:44:04up to this near side
00:44:05Ring
00:44:06likes to cut in on his right foot
00:44:08and it's nearly
00:44:09sneaks past two defenders there
00:44:10Dakres Coghle
00:44:12did well
00:44:13he just can't stop scoring right now
00:44:15James Collins
00:44:20thought about giving it to Deriqua
00:44:21instead it's going to be Hacker
00:44:22he goes for goal
00:44:23what a goal it is
00:44:24catches Baxter by surprise
00:44:27and Lincoln lead 4-2

00:44:43who's caught Hamilton late
00:44:44and it's a second yellow
00:44:46and that just rubs salt into the wound for Bolton Wanderers
00:44:50Burton Albion remain a place above the drop zone on goal difference
00:44:57the Brewers were hoping to keep it that way but faced a visit from champions Birmingham City
00:45:02poor header by Chowke fed in by Dowell
00:45:14and in to the back of the net from Samstead what a hit from Alphonse Samstead
00:45:19Philipson lovely leave this is Dowell and Stansfield 2-0
00:45:32that is the move and the quality of champions
00:45:35that is Birmingham City all over
00:45:44might be one late chance here though for Burton and there is
00:45:47what a fine finish that is
00:45:50Fabio Tavares the Coventry loanee
00:45:53it's an absolute delight
00:46:03now a chance here
00:46:04Reid
00:46:06in towards the box still going
00:46:07what a run this is
00:46:08what an individual goal this could be
00:46:11somehow it's slotted in by Jamie Reid
00:46:13Harvey White with his left foot will deliver this
00:46:19he'll step over it
00:46:20he'll deliver it over the wall
00:46:21it hits the post
00:46:24Ward beaten
00:46:25White slams the woodwork

00:46:36Crawley send it into the mix
00:46:37there's the header it comes backwards
00:46:38great save
00:46:41and it's gone through the goalkeepers hands
00:46:43and Crawley have the goal they so need
00:46:45Russian Hepburn Murphy
00:46:51Kamara
00:46:52Russian Hepburn Murphy
00:46:53Kamara's opening space
00:46:55a chance for two
00:46:57it is two
00:46:59Panuce Kamara
00:47:01with the precision
00:47:03Radcliffe with no one challenging for the ball
00:47:05Kelly flicks around the corner
00:47:07Hepburn Murphy leaves it for Kamara
00:47:08it's back for Kelly
00:47:09it's back for Kelly

00:47:16once again
00:47:17Russian Hepburn Murphy
00:47:21Elmari Miscannon
00:47:22the fin down the right hand side
00:47:25cuts it back
00:47:26they need to get one back soon
00:47:27as it's floated in
00:47:28there's a header by Watts

00:47:41to the back post it goes
00:47:42Dean though

00:47:44and that will be a free kick
00:47:45for Crawley Town
00:47:46in their own six yard box
00:47:48well
00:47:50the reason why
00:47:52Ed Francis is
00:47:53jogging down the tunnel
00:47:54is he's just been shown
00:47:55a second yellow card
00:47:56by the referee
00:47:57Mr. Toner

00:47:59there was an ironic clap
00:48:00clap
00:48:09it's good from
00:48:10Davis Keeler Dunn
00:48:11he's found Phillips
00:48:12who hits it

00:48:25at Peterborough United
00:48:26he's left the ball

00:49:55Costello strikes

00:50:04and hoping that their captain
00:50:05needs to do no more
00:50:06bodies down inside the area
00:50:08Blackman doesn't collect
00:50:09and it's turned in

00:50:46for Northampton today
00:50:51Wrexham and Wickham exchange places at the top
00:50:53Charlton's win against the Chairboys
00:50:55leaves them four points
00:50:56off the automatic promotion places
00:50:58the Addicts travel to Phil Parkinson's side next
00:51:01Stockport book their playoff place
00:51:03Leighton Orient keep hold of sixth place
00:51:05on goal difference from Reading
00:51:06after both picked up wins
00:51:08Cambridge and Crawley survive another week
00:51:10without relegation
00:51:12however the used defeat
00:51:13leaves them five points from safety
00:51:15with six left to play for
00:51:17the Red Devils were the only side in the bottom
00:51:19five to win
00:51:20and are now three points from safety themselves
00:51:22Burton who remain above the dreaded dotted line
00:51:25on goal difference also have a game in hand
00:51:29League 2 continues to baffle with only one of the top seven victorious on Good Friday
00:51:34the fourth tier's rollercoaster promotion race comes next
00:51:37Time to focus now on the remarkable race to get out of League 2
00:51:50despite eleven games without a win
00:51:52Walsall still had a chance to return to the top
00:51:54if they could beat Newport County in the lunchtime kickoff
00:51:57heavy touch from Allen and the challenge
00:52:03a strong one from Brennan who's in trouble
00:52:06real trouble
00:52:07he's been sent off Newport are down to ten
00:52:10big moments in the game
00:52:12and there was little hesitation from the referee Sam Perkis
00:52:16feels like so much of the game now
00:52:18is being played in the Newport half
00:52:20of course they are down to ten players after the red card to Brennan
00:52:23possession given away though
00:52:25how costly could this prove to be
00:52:27Kamwa helps it on
00:52:28and a chance here for Martin denied by Simkin
00:52:31and that one scrambled away
00:52:37the Simway
00:52:38across comes Thomas
00:52:39Simway turns inside
00:52:43sends in the cross
00:52:44and it's in
00:52:45they've done it
00:52:47in the nick of time
00:52:49a massive moment
00:52:53in Walsall's dream of playing in League One next season
00:52:58Newport field
00:52:59there was a handball in there
00:53:01and if there was handball
00:53:03why wasn't it flagged and identified
00:53:05no goal
00:53:09Walsall's moment
00:53:11Walsall's winner ripped away from them
00:53:15So how would the rest of the title contenders fare today?
00:53:23Port Vale had the slim chance of confirming promotion
00:53:25if they beat Grimsby
00:53:27but needed a number of other results to go their way
00:53:30taken quickly
00:53:36by Hugh
00:53:37and there's the effort that Amos needs to save
00:53:39and Danny Rose finds a way through
00:53:41Grimsby's brilliant track record over Port Vale continues
00:53:50Port Vale
00:53:51who might have given away a penalty and they have
00:53:54his best ever scoring season
00:53:58is 14 goals
00:53:59in the league
00:54:00Danny Rose
00:54:01he stands on 13
00:54:03for this campaign
00:54:04and this will be the biggest one of the lot
00:54:06it's Danny Rose
00:54:08makes no mistake
00:54:14for Grimsby this season is Corey
00:54:15in comes that corner
00:54:16goalkeeper couldn't get past that
00:54:19barrage of players
00:54:21and then Richards arrives
00:54:22and this is still not clear
00:54:25it comes to Tola
00:54:26it's one back
00:54:27it's game on
00:54:29big goal for Port Vale
00:54:32Grimsby had exited the box
00:54:33now they've got to set themselves again
00:54:35but the footwork's got to be better from Headley than that
00:54:37he can clip it up
00:54:38in towards Stockley
00:54:40it's in
00:54:41Jesse Debra
00:54:44a massive moment for Port Vale
00:54:47Sterey coming in field beyond Edwards
00:54:54now Molyneux
00:54:56and the cross-in is dangerous
00:54:58and Doncaster have the opening goal
00:55:00Harry Clifton arriving
00:55:02Elusive running from Luke Molyneux once again
00:55:09able to cut inside
00:55:11and he's got support
00:55:12and it's 2-0
00:55:13scored by Jordan Gibson
00:55:14but made once again
00:55:15by the trickery and craft of Luke Molyneux
00:55:19there
00:55:20and it's a yellow card for Awara Edwards
00:55:29he's already been booked
00:55:30and Edwards now receives the red card
00:55:33Molyneux
00:55:37Molyneux
00:55:38Westbrook
00:55:39Ennis
00:55:40cleared off the line by Egbo
00:55:42but the rebound
00:55:43in from Kelly
00:55:44and Doncaster Rovers
00:55:46go top of League 2
00:55:48in style
00:55:56Kavanagh
00:55:57flicking it on
00:55:58and it opens up here for Bobby Poinson
00:56:01to find the finish
00:56:03and to put Bradford City in front early on
00:56:06Poinson inside 10 minutes
00:56:08Sarsevic the promotion specialist
00:56:12he's made his way into the middle
00:56:14Poinson sends it in that direction
00:56:17and then they appeal penalty
00:56:19there are few more experienced at this level
00:56:24than Sarsevic
00:56:25steps up and scores from the spot
00:56:27thumps it in
00:56:28and doubles to Bradford City
00:56:30and doubles to Bradford City lead
00:56:35last minute of the additional period
00:56:37for Chesterfield to restore some hope
00:56:39on a kick bay
00:56:40he's unselfish
00:56:41brilliant goal
00:56:42Jenson Metcalf
00:56:44comes up with a crucial contribution
00:56:46for Chesterfield
00:56:47to get them right back in it
00:56:49that's neatly done
00:56:52Kavanagh
00:56:54the target
00:56:55slipped into his path
00:56:56gets there ahead of McFadgin
00:56:57support from Adaromola
00:56:59who delivers the cross
00:57:01brilliant
00:57:02Alec Paterson on the end of it

00:57:05Mandeville
00:57:09nailer
00:57:11Greg here is the target
00:57:14he's going to reach it first
00:57:15ahead of the goalkeeper
00:57:16and finds the finish
00:57:18Chesterfield will not lie down
00:57:20they will not give this up
00:57:22wider here for Dylan Duffy
00:57:26he will swing it in
00:57:27looking for Ola
00:57:28kick bay far side
00:57:29it comes for Naylor
00:57:30everybody's still to A-Man
00:57:32he's picked the pass for Mandeville
00:57:33little fortunate
00:57:34maybe to get another go
00:57:35oh
00:57:36but how he makes the most of it
00:57:38Thumpton in stoppage time
00:57:40and it's 3-3
00:57:46there's a two-man wall
00:57:47just
00:57:48thinking about the shot
00:57:50will it be a cross instead
00:57:51it will
00:57:52and the head is a free one
00:57:53it's over the top from Lewis
00:57:54presentable opportunity
00:57:56for the visitors
00:58:00AFC Wimbledon needing a win here
00:58:02to keep their hopes alive
00:58:03but they are
00:58:04on the back foot
00:58:05as the shot comes in
00:58:06and it's brilliant from Boney
00:58:09Dak fed him
00:58:10and Boney smashed home
00:58:15Traore
00:58:16got a bit too tight
00:58:17far side
00:58:22that's too short
00:58:23is this the moment
00:58:24yes
00:58:25Jata rolls it in
00:58:27the pressure is released
00:58:28Notts County have gone in front
00:58:33Dulcet crossing
00:58:34oh it's a great ball
00:58:35that
00:58:36Platt did really well with it
00:58:37but it's still not clear
00:58:38Taylor
00:58:39it's in
00:58:40Thomas has got the touch
00:58:42and Cheltenham have levelled it
00:58:49onto the crossbar
00:58:50what a hit it was
00:58:51can McGoldrick find the net
00:58:54on he goes
00:58:55there he goes
00:58:56but Cheltenham survive again
00:59:04Archer
00:59:06let's go
00:59:07unbelievable goal from Archer
00:59:09a cruel and cutting blow indeed
00:59:12for Notts County
00:59:13so how would the rest of the title contenders fare today
00:59:18Port Vale had the slim chance of confirming promotion
00:59:21if they beat Grimsby
00:59:22but needed a number of other results to go their way
00:59:25despite a hat-trick of wins
00:59:37Carlyle United could still find themselves relegated today
00:59:40defeat against Accrington
00:59:42coupled with victory for Tranmere at Barrow
00:59:44would consign the Cumbrians to the National League
00:59:46however another amazing victory
00:59:48would keep them alive for another week
00:59:50more than a thousand Carlyle fans were at the WAM stadium
00:59:56hopeful of taking another step towards safety
00:59:59they saw their side have the better of things
01:00:01with Georgie Kelly a post width away
01:00:04from recording a fifth goal in four matches
01:00:07for Accrington simply avoiding defeat
01:00:09would put them on the brink of safety
01:00:11with two games still to play
01:00:13and they maximised their chances of survival
01:00:16with 21 minutes left in the 90
01:00:18Sonny Aljofri on target
01:00:20as Stanley took the lead against the run of play
01:00:23it wasn't until the 93rd minute that Carlyle fans were given hope
01:00:28Callum Whelam's coolly taken second goal for the club
01:00:32was rapturously received
01:00:34but would the draw be enough?
01:00:36their EFL status now hinges entirely on Tranmere's remaining results
01:00:41the quest for three EFL safety guaranteed points
01:00:47inspired 784 members of the Super White Army to travel north to Barrow
01:00:51so imagine their relief when Luke McGee made a key intervention
01:00:54to keep out Carl Cameron after just 10 minutes
01:00:57Friday's heavy home defeat by Doncaster needed to be forgotten ASAP
01:01:02and the longer Carlyle stayed goal is at Accrington
01:01:05the more encouragement there was for Rovers to snatch a winner
01:01:08and substitute Connor Jennings could have ended relegation fears
01:01:11midway through the second half
01:01:12could have would have should have
01:01:14no matter
01:01:15Tranmere remained four points clear of the drop
01:01:16their fate still in their own hands
01:01:18eight points short of safety at the start of the day
01:01:22Morecambe had to beat Salford to have any chance of avoiding relegation
01:01:27and the portents were not good for the shrimps
01:01:30once they fell behind inside the opening three minutes
01:01:33Salford's Osama Ashley scoring his first senior goal
01:01:41almost all of Salford's wins in 2025 have come away from home
01:01:45they put themselves firmly in charge of this match
01:01:49once Cole Stockton made it 2-0
01:01:51by half-time relegation for Morecambe was all but certain
01:01:59after the break
01:02:01captain Jan Songo led a brief show of defiance
01:02:04when he hard the Salford lead
01:02:08but after 18 years in the EFL
01:02:11Morecambe's time was running out
01:02:13all hope was extinguished once Kelly and Meyer restored Salford's two-goal cushion late on
01:02:19that confirmed a fourth consecutive defeat for Morecambe
01:02:23who can no longer prevent their return to National League level
01:02:27Ian Holloway never does things by halves
01:02:33you're always reaching for the stars
01:02:35he said pre-match contemplating five straight wins for his revived Swindon team
01:02:39and how much would home fans have banked on form player Kabongo Shimanga
01:02:42scoring from five yards midway through the first half
01:02:45no worries town were dominating and surely it was only a matter of time before they were celebrating
01:02:50a breakthrough looked to have arrived just before half-time
01:02:53when Paul Glatzel went down under a tackle by Adam Meyer
01:02:57take two for Shimanga in front of Grant Smith's goal
01:03:03the keeper took the plaudits once more causing the striker to miss his first spot kick this season
01:03:08unlike their hosts who had an outside sniff of the playoffs
01:03:11Bromley were merely hoping to gild their achievement of securing a second season in the EFL
01:03:15and Omar Suwami nearly gave them a shock lead early in the second half
01:03:19with Michael Cheek not far away with a rebound
01:03:22and Bromley's top scorer then got involved almost heading into his own net
01:03:25as Swindon stepped up in search of three more points for their late charge up the table
01:03:29Ollie Clark eventually forced Wider Smith's goal
01:03:32and as the shadows lengthened over the county ground
01:03:35the match turned decisively despite Holloway's best laid plans
01:03:39Danny Imre's quick feet created the opening
01:03:41Will Wright got his intended clearance all wrong
01:03:44an own goal to give the points to the visitors
01:03:46so the stars will have to wait for Swindon
01:03:52Beating Fleetwood at home would always guarantee EFL survival for Harrogate
01:03:56but anxiety increased on Weatherby Road once Kobe Moore put the away side ahead
01:04:01that 51st minute goal would come against the run of play
01:04:07and to Harrogate's credit they soon shrugged it off
01:04:10Jasper Moon with a swift equaliser after Ellis Taylor's free kick had been saved
01:04:15Taylor then got on the score sheet himself as Harrogate turned things around with two goals inside five second half minutes
01:04:26and this one went in the Sulfurites could at last start to relax
01:04:32a three game unbeaten run has put sufficient space between them and the bottom two results elsewhere went their way also
01:04:42by the time Tom Cursons added a third in stoppage time Harrogate's EFL status was already secured
01:04:49from 2nd in January to 11th in April
01:04:54crew have been losing momentum at the most punishing time of the season
01:04:57and just when they thought it couldn't get any worse
01:04:59keeper Philip Marshall insured it did
01:05:01helpless as he allowed Scott Hogan to rebuild belief under new manager Paul Warne
01:05:05on his first away day with the Dons
01:05:07for all their dominance in possession the damage to crews crumbling hopes for promotion
01:05:12could have been doubled by substitute Daniel Orsi in the closing minutes
01:05:15even with the head of steam making up five points on the top seven with two to play
01:05:19looks a tall order for the rail women
01:05:22another crazy day in the league two promotion race
01:05:25Doncaster take over as leaders and host third place Bradford next weekend
01:05:29Donny were the only side in the top eight to win
01:05:32despite no win in 12
01:05:34Walsall remain a point off the top three
01:05:36Grimsby replaced Colchester in the playoff spots
01:05:39commiserations to Morecambe who were relegated today after 18 seasons in the EFL
01:05:45Carlisle's late equaliser at Accrington means they are now four points behind Tranmere with six to play for
01:05:51we'll be back on Saturday for the penultimate weekend of the EFL season
01:05:55watch all of the action unfold from 9pm on ITV4
01:05:59so it's all smiles here at Kenilworth Road as Luton secured a massive victory in their bid to beat the drop
01:06:06but it's also party time for Leeds and Burnley as they confirmed automatic promotion to the Premier League
