00:00:00Hello from the Hawthorns, home to a West Bromwich Albion side looking to make a strong impression
00:00:25this season under their rookie boss. This season is Ryan Mason's first in the managerial hot seat,
00:00:32having worked under the likes of Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte and Ange Postacoglu at Tottenham.
00:00:39The 34-year-old is bidding to become the first Baggies boss to start a league season with three
00:00:44straight wins since Ray Harford did back in 1997. Opponents Portsmouth started their second season
00:00:51back at this level with victory at Oxford. However, they followed that up with a narrow
00:00:56home defeat against Norwich seven days ago. The Baggies blasted five goals past Pompey in this
00:01:03fixture last season, including four before half-time. Will history be repeating itself
00:01:10today or will the visitors exact some revenge on the road? Let's find out in the company of
00:01:16your match commentator, Dan Mason. Campbell. Furlong helps it on. The best of pass is that.
00:01:25Here's Segacic for Pompey, and here's Bianchini. Great save by Josh Griffith, who prevents a certain
00:01:35Portsmouth goal. Pompey had been on the back foot early on here, but that's the chance of the game so far.
00:01:41Phillips looking for the feed of Hagaba, who finds Molumbe. Price will look to get West Brom going again here.
00:01:58He's got Johnston in support. It's Mikey Johnston!
00:02:02What a way to mark your return to the starting eleven.
00:02:11Johnston's played his way back into contention and now delivers a special goal to put the Baggies ahead.
00:02:191-0 West Bromwich Albion.
00:02:26Back to Swift, who was under pressure there. And he has lost it. Pompey exposed here. It's Alex Mowat!
00:02:36It's safely gathered by Schmidt. Portsmouth creating their own problems there.
00:02:44Some good defending to take the sting out of Mowat's eventual shot.
00:02:50Bolumbe now.
00:02:55Les Brom made a good start to last season, too.
00:02:59Five of their first six games. It was the form thereafter that was the problem.
00:03:05Just one win in 13.
00:03:10Here's Mowat. Curling one. Oh, off the post!
00:03:13And Pompey can bring it away.
00:03:21What an unlikely opening goal.
00:03:23In some respects, Pompey far too deep.
00:03:28West Brom invited to shoot, and that is a lucky escape.
00:03:35Shaughnessy.
00:03:36Jacob Murphy fellows is there for West Brom.
00:03:43Oh, that's a good cross.
00:03:45And that is a fantastic header by Colby Bishop.
00:03:51A classic centre forwards goal.
00:03:55That is what you want from your number nine.
00:03:58The cross by Murphy is perfect.
00:04:01Swanson. Oh, poor ball.
00:04:07West Brom have it back.
00:04:09Molumbe lining one up.
00:04:11He slips in.
00:04:12Hagaba who goes down.
00:04:15And nothing is given.
00:04:18Referee Elliot Bell says no penalty.
00:04:23Did Ogilvy get anything on the ball here?
00:04:25Or was it a foul?
00:04:27Ryan Mason obviously thinks so.
00:04:28He's going to get a yellow card for his protests.
00:04:37And Hawthorne's still in disbelief that the penalty wasn't given.
00:04:42And Hagaba's in again here.
00:04:44It's clearly being held.
00:04:46But it keeps going, Hagaba.
00:04:48The shot is blocked by Poole.
00:04:50And once again, no foul is given.
00:04:56He's the last defender, Paul.
00:04:58And tugging at Hagaba all the time.
00:05:01The baggies are incensed about it.
00:05:04Look at Ryan Mason.
00:05:05He's in trouble here, the baggies' boss.
00:05:09It's a red card for Mason.
00:05:11Who falls foul of referee Elliot Bell.
00:05:15The last chance, surely, for West Brom.
00:05:19Now it's corner.
00:05:21Clear by Portsmouth, and that's it.
00:05:23The baggies' 100% record goes in somewhat controversial circumstances.
00:05:35Portsmouth, good value for their point, though.
00:05:38Terrific result for them.
00:05:40It finishes one-all at the Hawthorns.
00:05:42So, Portsmouth battle to a great point here at the Hawthorns.
00:05:52Their manager, John Massigno, joins us now.
00:05:55We spoke to you after this fixture last season in January.
00:05:58It was a 5-1 defeat.
00:05:59Today, you get to send your fans home with a positive feeling.
00:06:03And I think the performance are a mark of how far your team has come in that time as well.
00:06:07Yeah, and we don't want to sort of have to reference last season every time we come to an away ground,
00:06:11because we were poor away from home last year.
00:06:13But certainly in terms of the progress we've made since January,
00:06:17just getting the result first and foremost and also the performance,
00:06:19which I thought in parts was good, in parts we definitely need to improve.
00:06:24But overall, I think we came away and we deserve the point.
00:06:27Well, Alex, it was certainly a battle this afternoon.
00:06:30Do you feel a draw was a fair result?
00:06:32No, I think we've gone in there a bit disappointed, to be honest.
00:06:36You know, we felt like it was a better team, created more chances.
00:06:39But, yeah, it just wouldn't go in the second goal for us.
00:06:43The game obviously hinged on two big contentious decisions in the second half.
00:06:48It felt like you should have had a penalty. Is that how you saw it?
00:06:52Yeah, we're disappointed that we didn't get a penalty, you know.
00:06:55I think those few decisions just didn't go our way.
00:06:59I was hoping for and we felt like we deserved, but, you know, it's football and that happens.
00:07:04There was one a few moments later as well, clearly your manager wasn't happy with it.
00:07:08Was that emotion shared by the players on the pitch?
00:07:11Yeah, I think I got booked as well for running up to the referee.
00:07:15So, I think everyone on the pitch felt it and everyone in the stadium, but, you know, it just didn't go our way.
00:07:20Early table toppers Stoke City were another side hoping to maintain their 100% start to the season today.
00:07:28Mark Robinside were on the road at Southampton, who drew with Ipswich Town last time out.
00:07:33Good work by Mannhoff, skipping beyond Stephens. Early ball towards Mbama again.
00:07:41Cleared away by Wood.
00:07:43Mbama had a poor challenge, lunging from behind on downs, and that might be a Stoke City yellow card.
00:07:50It is for the Manchester City loanee this time.
00:07:56They hardly have any real complaints.
00:07:59Chris Wells giving it away, Harwood-Bellis with the interception.
00:08:04Now downs raining down the right and it's beyond Seko.
00:08:08Armstrong in the middle, it's cut back to Robinson!
00:08:11Hits the post!
00:08:12And Robinson again! Hits the post again!
00:08:15That is extraordinary!
00:08:19Jay Robinson beat Johansson but couldn't beat the post
00:08:22and then strikes the same portion of the woodwork.
00:08:31Fraser who set up the goal at Ipswich last weekend.
00:08:35And it's nearly another assist!
00:08:38Harwood-Bellis denied by the brilliant Sevier Hansson!
00:08:41Stopping header from Harwood-Bellis! What a save!
00:08:46Fraser's corner was pinpoint.
00:08:50What a piece of goalkeeping!
00:08:52Oh!
00:08:56From downs, can't reach it.
00:08:57Bae Junho out towards Thomas, always in space.
00:09:01And here is Mannhoff!
00:09:02And it hits Stephens!
00:09:03Baker!
00:09:06Drills Stoke City into the lead!
00:09:09Timing that late-run perfection
00:09:11and look at the joy that it's brought the Stoke City supporters!
00:09:16Lewis Baker is mobbed.
00:09:19He is the man of the moment for Stoke City.
00:09:26Thomas with the pullback
00:09:27and it hit Wood, hit Bazunu
00:09:32and fell for Baker
00:09:35who tucked it away very nicely.
00:09:39Mannhoff with a lovely ball.
00:09:41Mbama round the goalkeeper!
00:09:42Was he caught?
00:09:44No!
00:09:46Mbama has been penalised for diving
00:09:48and he could be in trouble here.
00:09:50Mbama is head in his hands
00:09:53and it is a second yellow card.
00:09:55Divine Mbama is sent off.
00:10:00Was there contact from Bazunu?
00:10:04And there looks to be very little, if any, contact there.
00:10:11Fraser.
00:10:15Run by Fraser.
00:10:16Fred Downs has headed it wide!
00:10:19Ghosting in!
00:10:21And he cannot believe that he hasn't brought Southampton level.
00:10:26Great flight to that cross from Ryan Fraser
00:10:29and it's asking to be turned in.
00:10:31Flynn Downs can't even hit the target.
00:10:37Robinson, Manning on the outside.
00:10:38Two Dwaymen in the middle!
00:10:41Stewart!
00:10:43Somehow turns it over the top.
00:10:46But it's two guilt-edged opportunities
00:10:50since going behind for Southampton.
00:10:53What a moment it could have been.
00:10:55And in the end, what a miss it turned into.
00:10:57Actually, everybody back behind the ball.
00:11:02In by Fraser.
00:11:04And that is as straightforward a take for Johansson as he could ask for.
00:11:08And what a throw that is from the goalkeeper.
00:11:10Thomas.
00:11:12Can he get away from Stephens?
00:11:14Thomas could wrap it up here.
00:11:15He does!
00:11:17And Stoke City's start to the season just gets better and better.
00:11:23What an assist from the goalkeeper.
00:11:25And what a finish.
00:11:27Stoke's perfect start to the season will continue.
00:11:31What a brilliant throw from the goalkeeper Johansson.
00:11:35And a super way to top the ball underneath the goalkeeper.
00:11:39And Sorba Thomas with his second goal for Stoke City.
00:11:48Southampton corner.
00:11:50In by Fernandes.
00:11:52Howard Benes!
00:11:54And Southampton have got one back.
00:11:57Thundered into the net.
00:11:59And the Saints are still alive maybe in St Mary's.
00:12:03Howard Benes gets the better of Johansson this time.
00:12:06Southampton one, Stoke City two.
00:12:12And it is a perfect start to the season for Stoke City.
00:12:17Three games, three wins.
00:12:19And the ten men cling on for victory here at St Mary's.
00:12:24Southampton one, Stoke City two.
00:12:29Middlesbrough have started a league season with back-to-back wins
00:12:32for the first time in 31 years.
00:12:35While host Norwich City secured their first victory under Liam Manning last weekend.
00:12:41Whittaker.
00:12:43And Hackney in a bit of space.
00:12:45Zas to the left-hand side.
00:12:47This is Finna Zas.
00:12:48Going for goal and scoring.
00:12:50Well, the man who's been linked with a move away from Middlesbrough recall to the starting line-up today.
00:12:57And that is why.
00:12:59So much space for Hackney.
00:13:02Isolated the big full-back, Medic.
00:13:05And it was relatively simple for the Irish international to give Borough the lead on the stroke of half-time.
00:13:12And it's another error from Norwich City who've gifted up possession as Middlesbrough go looking for a second goal before half-time.
00:13:25And they've got it from Conway.
00:13:27Oh, this game has turned on its head.
00:13:28Who saw Middlesbrough 2-0 up at half-time just a few minutes ago?
00:13:35Possession won so easily.
00:13:38And Conway completely unmarked in the six-yard box.
00:13:42But just have a look at Conway.
00:13:43No one's marking him.
00:13:45Literally in front of the goalkeeper.
00:13:47Where do you want to put it?
00:13:48Right.
00:13:58Oh, it was a little bit late there.
00:14:01Now the referee might have a decision to make.
00:14:04Right was stretching.
00:14:06And right picks up a red card.
00:14:11Just lost control of the ball.
00:14:13And in his desperation to win it back, he lunged into Aidan Morris.
00:14:19Forward it goes.
00:14:23Hansen's through there.
00:14:25Opportunity for a third goal.
00:14:28Oh, they've messed it up completely.
00:14:33Well, that should have been game, set and match for Middlesbrough.
00:14:43Over the top it goes.
00:14:44And Sargent's in here.
00:14:46Oh, my words.
00:14:4720 seconds.
00:14:48The game turns on its head.
00:14:51Middlesbrough should be 3-0 up.
00:14:53But now suddenly there's only a goal between the two sides.
00:14:57Josh Sargent, 4-4 now.
00:15:00And Josh Sargent just waited and waited to the optimum moment.
00:15:04Oh, Middlesbrough to be kicking themselves after missing that opportunity
00:15:10to score a third goal.
00:15:12Incredible, isn't it, football?
00:15:16Middlesbrough so close they can touch it, but not yet.
00:15:20Kovacevic is out of his goal.
00:15:23And Hackney with an open goal!
00:15:25Oh, wide!
00:15:27Well, they have had the opportunities this afternoon, Middlesbrough, to put this game to bed full-time at Carrow Road.
00:15:35It's Norwich City 1, Middlesbrough 2.
00:15:40As I say, two away wins in a row is difficult to do.
00:15:44We've come to two really difficult places in different ways and managed to find a way.
00:15:49There was a celebratory mood at Coventry City today after the club announced the purchase of their stadium.
00:15:56The Sky Blues have played at the Coventry Building Society Arena for 20 years
00:16:01and said today's news safeguards the future of the club.
00:16:05Visitors QPR were next to sample some of their hospitality.
00:16:11Feels like a special day.
00:16:13New home, new future, but will it be three points?
00:16:17Let's see.
00:16:18His talk.
00:16:20Now Van Eywijk.
00:16:21This time he takes the pass to perfection!
00:16:25And swept home by Haji Wright.
00:16:29Coventry have the lead on their special day.
00:16:42He's given away again and Rodoni has options.
00:16:45Thomas Esante!
00:16:46What a start to their big day.
00:16:50Given away, seized upon, and thrashed into the top corner.
00:17:03Into Dembele, but he's dispossessed easily by Grimes.
00:17:07Now it's Rodoni.
00:17:10Goes on his own this time!
00:17:12And makes it count!
00:17:14Big deflection along the way, but it's Jack Rodoni's goal all right.
00:17:18Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!
00:17:31Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal
00:18:01right. Torp. Rodoni once more! To make it five! A fabulous first half five for Frank Lampard
00:18:17and his Coventry City side. Coventry in the mood right from the start. Mason Clarke,
00:18:29De Silva in support. And then shoveled in for number six. Victor Torp in the right place to roll that into the far corner. And if Queen's Far Rangers were hoping for a quieter second half, well, they may be in for a shock.
00:18:54Hoisted in by Van Eywijk.
00:19:01And Torp to call one in! And score the goal of the day! The goal of an extraordinary day!
00:19:16He gets his second! And commentary lead by seven goals to nil! How good was that?
00:19:29Delivery goes deep and it wasn't a bad one! And it's turned in and they do have a consolation!
00:19:44Richard Kone ends his goal-scoring drought!
00:19:50Now Torp.
00:19:53What an afternoon that was! A day that started with Coventry finally owning this place. And they owned it in a different way.
00:20:07The news is that Frank Lampard has got Coventry playing all right. That's twelve goals in two weeks. And they won here on this memorable day for fans of Coventry City by seven goals to one.
00:20:22It's a great day for the club because the anniversary, 20 years anniversary of being here officially becomes our home as of today. So congratulations to the owner, to Doug.
00:20:35And then the players just performed at an incredible level today for 70 plus minutes of the game. And that's obviously great too.
00:20:42After the break we'll shift our focus to the six clubs yet to pick up a point. Two of them met at the race course as Sheffield Wednesday and Wrexham went in search of that winning feeling.
00:20:55To a big game at the race course next with Wrexham and Sheffield Wednesday both yet to get off the mark in the new campaign.
00:21:13Ahead of the match Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney confirmed that all profits from the sale of last season's golden away shirt would be donated to the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust.
00:21:23Owls fans thank their host for the show of solidarity as they continue to protest against owner Dave Von Chancery.
00:21:30It's Lewis O'Brien who'll take this free kick from the left-hand side.
00:21:36As we approach the 15-minute mark in this game.
00:21:40This time it's a better-looking delivery might fall to Kiefer Moore and it does.
00:21:46Wales International is off the mark for Wrexham and from the set-piece they take the lead.
00:21:58O'Brien.
00:22:07Good football this in the build-up from Wrexham.
00:22:10It opens up to shoot.
00:22:11Dobson obliges.
00:22:12It's spilled and it's turned in for number two.
00:22:15And it's a second of the game for Kiefer Moore.
00:22:20And Horvath spills the effort from Dobson on his debut.
00:22:24And Moore was there to double the advantage.
00:22:30Lewis O'Brien stands over this corner.
00:22:35He's produced a set-piece for one of the goals.
00:22:38It's played over the top.
00:22:39Downward header off the line from Moore.
00:22:42So close.
00:22:45Lewith may well have prevented it from going in there actually.
00:22:55It wasn't that long ago that Wrexham had to raise £100,000 to save their club from going out of business.
00:23:04So they know better than anybody what it's like to be in Sheffield Wednesday's situation.
00:23:10Sheffield Wednesday's supporters.
00:23:15They get into the box as well.
00:23:17Desperate defending getting themselves into trouble here.
00:23:20Oh, what a chance for E.K. Ugbo.
00:23:24Hits it straight to the goalkeeper.
00:23:27That was the chance for Sheffield Wednesday to get back into this game.
00:23:34Played off to Bannon.
00:23:37Looks a little late in the challenge there.
00:23:41Going forward with Palmer.
00:23:45Nice ball from O'Neill.
00:23:46Bannon does get him back into the game.
00:23:49The goal had been coming.
00:23:51And Sheffield Wednesday have a lifeline.
00:23:54And it's come from their go-to man on so many occasions.
00:24:00It's Wrexham 2, Sheffield Wednesday 1.
00:24:0333 to Bannon.
00:24:09Kowalski.
00:24:12Marlowe finds McNeely.
00:24:15Lowe's cross and it's in.
00:24:17It is the equaliser.
00:24:19And it's Bailey Kadematry.
00:24:22It seemed a totally unlikely comeback for Sheffield Wednesday at half-time.
00:24:31But they have turned it around.
00:24:34With Jamal Lowe back there helping out.
00:24:37The cross comes in and Smith goes down.
00:24:39Appeals for a penalty.
00:24:40Nothing given.
00:24:41Laid off by McLean.
00:24:43And a heroic challenge to take it away from Dobson.
00:24:47And suddenly Sheffield Wednesday at three on two.
00:24:51And it's a great ball play through as well.
00:24:54What a chance to win it.
00:24:58Right on the whistle.
00:25:00Danny Ward to the rescue.
00:25:02To keep out.
00:25:03Charlie McNeil.
00:25:05Sheffield Wednesday.
00:25:07With a golden chance.
00:25:09In the final seconds.
00:25:11In the break we changed formation.
00:25:16And we spoke about their belief to go out in the second half.
00:25:20To play with a back four.
00:25:22And we spoke about the discipline.
00:25:24And the courage to play the second half.
00:25:26Because there was still something in.
00:25:28And how the boys did.
00:25:29It was a great, great performance for the boys.
00:25:34Let's see if it would be third time lucky for some of the championship's other winless clubs.
00:25:40Starting at Bramall Lane.
00:25:41Where Ruben Seyes was hoping to alleviate some pressure.
00:25:45Is Leonard.
00:25:54Oh!
00:25:59Cooper reacted well.
00:26:04Cundell.
00:26:10Another effort from range.
00:26:11This time it's blocked.
00:26:12it's blocked Ivanovic flicks it on the deadlock is broken by Luke Kundal Millwall
00:26:21ramp the pressure on to Sheffield United cool cool finish from Kundal
00:26:32and it's worked to Barry
00:26:36Louis Barry well saved by Bender
00:26:41Barry now Hummer what a save Stephen Bender stretching out to Big Hand to turn the ball past his post
00:27:06here's Hummer
00:27:09tees it up for the captain who hits the post
00:27:18One
00:27:23Sirike and it's cleared off the line Campbell's header
00:27:27my message is that we're going to keep working we're going to keep working hard persisting and
00:27:36we're going to go again from our next training and then we're going to go in the next game just
00:27:40to try to get the three points
00:27:44back in the West Midlands Gary Rawerts craves his side's first league points some defending for
00:27:50Oxford United to do here though
00:27:52Kyogo slides it wide with the goal gaping
00:27:57chance for Damari Gray now stands on the ball pauses delays waits for reinforcements delivers the cross
00:28:07Kyogo again a glorious chance once more for the Japanese international
00:28:13Birmingham with a stranglehold here goes Ethan Laird cut back pigs on
00:28:25deadlock broken in the West Midlands
00:28:28and it's the South Korean who punches it past coming
00:28:33space for Stansfield to roam into to run into opportunity from the angle bright
00:28:44oh side Samuel tonight from making it to
00:28:47I'll have a corner and it's whipped in it's a fine header it was
00:29:00McBurnie who was leaping and talked it ever so well to get across with the block
00:29:04and here's an opportunity and a lovely dink finish Ryan Hedges
00:29:20calmly done expertly done Blackburn Rovers are in front
00:29:27it's a free kick for Blackburn
00:29:28well has been all these free kicks the new club captain and this one is a change of direction and
00:29:36put across and in and Blackburn Rovers are two to the good
00:29:41it's a deflection actually isn't it it's a hashy it's a hashy and I think I'm not sure how
00:29:45intentional it was so as she gets his first of the season he scored 10 in all competitions last year
00:29:52here's Alibi Osu into the penalty area won the challenge and here's Cantwell with a chance and it's in the
00:29:57back of the net it's three to Blackburn Rovers
00:30:03and surely they are heading to their first victory of the season what a start to the second half
00:30:13Cantwell's corner whipped it and headed against the crossbar and then Tavares with it
00:30:18and it's over the top I am so close
00:30:21Hull City nil Blackburn Rovers three
00:30:35oh and it's opened up and Twine has taken the chance and Bristol City have taken the lead
00:30:40their growing grip on the game is rewarded and Gerhard Struber's side are piling on the pain at Pride Park
00:30:53Ward arriving with purpose here and Ward gets there and so does Pitek
00:30:57but not the second time Carlton Morris
00:31:05and how the atmosphere has changed and suddenly they feel that Pride again
00:31:12they may just have dug out a point that could be mightily significant for Derby County this season
00:31:18it's going to be Twine and it's clawed out by Wetterstrand
00:31:28and Derby get their first point on the board the final score here Derby County one Bristol City one
00:31:37neither Ipswich or Leicester have really caught a spark since their return to the second tier
00:31:42we'll see if the relegated duo could ignite their season after the break
00:31:56an 85th minute winner from Militon Ozmaic handed Leicester City their first league defeat of the season
00:32:03at Preston last weekend it was another away assignment for the foxes today with unbeaten Charlton Athletic their destination
00:32:12so many committed challenges going in it's fast and furious Leicester City can't spin the ball away it's
00:32:26Coventry will hit it well that looked for a fair while like it was going to be special it's a sensational
00:32:33strike it's a wonderful save
00:32:44towards Jones again and Ramsey's there
00:32:47and Stalace clung on for dear life well he can't have seen that until really late the goalkeeper reacts so quickly
00:32:53and Sumari
00:32:58neither manager making a change in personnel at the break
00:33:03it's Fatahou trying to bend it oh look at that
00:33:11in a flash the game tilts in Leicester's direction a goal scored with a swagger
00:33:18it's controlled it's with the instep it's moving back on target it's like a whipped fast pass towards that far post
00:33:25it's precise it's quite brilliant
00:33:27in from Coventry Lloyd-Jones is after it's not going to count
00:33:35the whistle had gone for a misdemeanor in the area
00:33:40it's not going to count on the door but it just wouldn't settle down for them that is a
00:33:59really good opportunity just seems to mistime it what an opportunity to equalize
00:34:04what i value the most today and i think it's most important more important than
00:34:07sometimes just identities is how we how we perform as a team it was a real togetherness a real commitment
00:34:13everybody work hard for each other and that's the foundation to to do what we want to do here
00:34:19Preston with four points from their first two games
00:34:22valentine's been impressive in a pna shirt smith's header in towards osmaic
00:34:29who falls to the turf and it's a penalty kick
00:34:32matt donoghue points to the spot jacob greaves somewhat perplexed
00:34:40it was all rather messy
00:34:43osmaic has picked himself up and he nets with confidence
00:34:48he scored in each of his first three league games
00:34:52a fast start for him to the season and a fast start for preston north end he was never going to miss
00:34:59this concern for kieran mckenna have not been particularly convincing on their return to the championship
00:35:07good control there from clark flapped away by daniel everson
00:35:16poor hacking bottom will be encouraged with what he's seen
00:35:20fine hold up play from hurst matasiwa how about this for a pass for smoddix it'll break for
00:35:29mcatea no debut goal for the new signing
00:35:39kayembe trying to get the ball on the deck for watford he does really well
00:35:42kayembe comes away with it iran kunda to his left hand side here's bola
00:35:50kirim gord making a run towards the far post it is towards the striker a brilliant save from vigorous
00:36:01defending to do then for the home side comes all the way through and that's somehow hooked off the line
00:36:07and swansea survive wonderful acrobatic defending the whistle's gone relief for the home side
00:36:14we'll probably see this cabango defensively this is outstanding it is outstanding defending
00:36:24kayembe and iran kunda are over it it is iran kunda and it is beautiful
00:36:30it couldn't be any better the pace the depth the movement on the ball what a free kick that is
00:36:38and as soon as it left his foot he is running outstanding finish from iran kunda
00:36:49galbraith joins in neat one two time and across the face of goal so so close to an equaliser
00:37:00and the immediate impact from the substitute and with 10 minutes to go it is all square
00:37:22in the back
00:37:25stoke and middlesbrough are the only clubs with a 100 winning record after their opening three games
00:37:32this is the potters best start in 27 years and borough's best in 31 years seven clubs remain
00:37:39unbeaten including coventry who have now scored 12 goals in their last two games sheffield united and
00:37:45oxford are the only teams yet to pick up a point seven clubs remain winless including highly fancied
00:37:51ipswich and wrexham it's reed astonishing a late jamie reed double ensured that stevenage maintained
00:38:03their perfect start to the season in midweek alex revel side face another of league one's early pace
00:38:09setters in huddersfield town after the break
00:38:21for the first time in their history stevenage have started an efl season with four consecutive victories
00:38:28the league one leaders were hoping to extend their 100 record at huddersfield town who themselves have
00:38:34made a strong start
00:38:39beginning to motor here and sorensen it's mindful for kane who strikes it it's a great effort just over
00:38:49excellent strike from herbie kane
00:38:52three wins from four so far this season looking to break the deadlock here midway through the second half
00:38:59lovely down the left it's left by taylor and it's alfie may surely
00:39:04at the second attempt it is may and it is deadlock broken
00:39:16oh misplaced and robinson goes to the spectacular spotting keely off his line
00:39:21and he had to pass it around the post wow that would have been some goal wouldn't it
00:39:34ruben colwell's header out there oh and trot gets a glove on it what a save what a stop from trot
00:39:41long fake throat naismith swings it over a good leap and another fabulous save from trot
00:39:54mark mcginnis denied colwell
00:40:02copacchio a lot of traffic between him and the goal and luton have done their job at least only briefly
00:40:08it's willock lovely control and finish relegation may have been them but it did not break them
00:40:17chris willock for cardiff and a goal all of his own making
00:40:25afc wimbledon certainly seem at ease after their elevation to this level perhaps third place barnsley
00:40:31would pose a challenge to their league one credentials the now 37 year old david mcgoldrick could perhaps
00:40:37should have given the yorkshire side the lead despite two bites of the cherry he couldn't
00:40:44indeed perhaps spurred on by that shot across their bows wimbledon it was who broke the deadlock
00:40:50matt stevens on his toes to bully the home side ahead just inside the first half hour
00:40:57barnsley enjoyed the lion's share of possession but with a little over 20 minutes left the don's lead was
00:41:03doubled and in some style antoine hackford sweeping in his first league goal for the club to put the
00:41:10home side firmly in control at the other end mcgoldrick was eager to make up for that earlier double miss
00:41:16and keen to add to his two goal tally so far this season but he came up just short again as wimbledon
00:41:23rode their luck then after being summoned from the wimbledon bench omar bugil almost put the ice
00:41:31on the wimbledon cake it was close but not quite close enough however johnny jackson's newly promoted
00:41:38side do have some momentum
00:41:40after four straight defeats peterborough sat bottom of the pile in league one not the best
00:41:51backdrop for a meeting with unbeaten bradford city who'd taken promotion in their stride
00:41:55aiden baldwin's first half volley tested for senti reyes with city looking to maintain that momentum
00:42:01their appetite for the challenge evident too after the break when alex patterson pounced
00:42:06and george lapsley found will swan fast becoming a crowd favorite with three goals in his five
00:42:13appearances for bradford who were on track for a fourth successive win in all competitions until
00:42:18stoppage time when declan frith gave baldwin the slip superbly and set up peterborough's first goal
00:42:24from open play this season kian hayes quickest to react to the cross and take the credit as posh finally
00:42:31put a point on the board
00:42:38the imps had been limp at this stadium losing on every past visit but lincoln were at it right from
00:42:44the opening whistle today chasing a third straight efl maximum from rico hackett's tee-up it was a case of
00:42:51ready freddy goal draper continuing his scoring start to the campaign bolton didn't roll over from the
00:42:59earliest excitement we fast forward to the latest of drama just when it looked like a tough sheet clean
00:43:04sheet for michael scubala's men a mario cosier dubry's cross was put into his own net by the
00:43:10unfortunate tom hamer well you wouldn't call him a plonker it was a lovely jubbly moment for the trotters
00:43:16their third successive 1-1 league scoreline
00:43:19there was quite some game at stockport who hosted a burton albion side winless in five away league
00:43:28matches
00:43:29nadoka godwin malife gave the brewers an unexpected lead midway through the first half and burton
00:43:35prospects would improve even further in the minutes ahead some route one football saw tyrese shade get
00:43:41in behind stockport for whom brad hills felt obliged to take one for the team a 31st minute red card but
00:43:49would it be a heroic self-sacrifice or a futile gesture the resulting free kick suggested that stockport's
00:43:59lap was in sebastian riven denied a goal by the whip for the post and there would be further first half
00:44:07frustration for burton the frame of the goal also preventing shade from making the score sheet
00:44:16afterwards dave challoner accepted that stockport had ridden their luck at times but he was also
00:44:21thrilled with the grit passion and quality his players showed in the second half a 69th minute
00:44:27equaliser from jack diamond is an absolute gem and yet it wasn't even the goal of the game
00:44:36eight minutes later oliver norwood crashed in the most spectacular of free kicks
00:44:41and the 10 men were on their way to a very hard earned victory
00:44:49plymouth argyle were booed off on tuesday following a fourth straight league defeat
00:44:55so tom cleverly was desperate to change the mood around home park against blackpool
00:45:00in a bid to get their season up and running plymouth argyle pitched friday's highly rated new
00:45:08signing straight into the starting lineup forward lauren tolli must have fancied his chances against
00:45:12league one's leakiest defense but after barley mumble was denied somehow spurned the chance to make an
00:45:18immediate impact it's believed to have taken a seven figure sum to land tolli from port vale not much more
00:45:26than blackpool spent to sign nottingham forest dow taylor on this occasion neither lived up to their reputations
00:45:35instead argyle's malachi boating stole the show early in the second half
00:45:40an eye-catching way for the devon club to get off the mark and divert the spotlight from tom cleverly
00:45:46towards steve bruce as it's now four defeats from five for blackpool too
00:45:53on a day when vale park celebrated its 75th anniversary a ground once nicknamed the wembley
00:45:58of the north was hoping to stage a game worthy of it cameron humphrey's header certainly offered promise
00:46:05fresh from midweek defeat here were two sides eager to show their bounce back ability
00:46:10sympathy low tutala certainly had a spring in his step in the rover's goal he was a big factor in
00:46:17ensuring a goalless first half but doncaster changed the narrative soon after the restart
00:46:24their skipper owen bailey on the end of a swift counter-attack with his third goal of the season
00:46:30all of them away from home enough to win this one it's now 10 points from five games so far for grant mccann's side
00:46:40spoiler alert goal of the day coming up scored by mansfield's reagan hendry who showed strength in
00:46:47the challenge and finesse in the most outrageous of finishes quite some way to score your first goal
00:46:54for your new club that early setback seemed to stun leighton orient who were soon further behind
00:47:01hendry on target again this time from much closer range as the stags led by two inside 30 minutes
00:47:10that was quite some start against an orient side who had lost just one of their previous 11 league games
00:47:16and sure enough the o's were soon back in it josh karoma backing his third goal of the campaign
00:47:22but it seems that when orient do get beat it's not by half measures they lost by three on opening day
00:47:28at huddersfield and when will evans rifled mansfield's third in this one the game looked up for the east
00:47:35londoners the damage was compounded moments later when idris el mizuni back at orient this season
00:47:42collected the second of two yellow cards to give mansfield the extra man for the final half hour
00:47:47it's been almost a year since the stags won three league matches on the spin what's more this was a
00:47:54fourth straight victory in all competitions mansfield added one more goal before the end luke bolton on
00:48:01on target in stoppage time after earlier efforts from him and evans were kept out
00:48:07that completed the stags best performance and biggest win of the season so far
00:48:16with just one point on the ball before kickoff northampton needed a boost and they got one 57
00:48:22seconds in manchester united low knee ethan weakly wonderfully whacked in his first senior league
00:48:28goal kevin nolan's cobbler's were well and truly putting the boot in on exeter exasperation for the
00:48:34grecians who failed to follow up an impressive midweek win at wickham with another good result
00:48:39max dice hadn't netted in the efl for the host since april 2023 but his strike proved the match clincher
00:48:50wickham's former owner rob kuhig is now the man running reading so there was an extra layer of tension
00:48:56surrounding their league one meeting at adams park attention broken on 10 minutes when fred onya
00:49:02dinma notched for the first time in 36 games the former wickham owner left suppressing a wry smile no
00:49:09doubt but that would have turned into a big beaming grin before the break as the royals were drawn level
00:49:16via a majestic header another rare sight mamadi kamara hadn't scored since december last year
00:49:22and a couple of minutes later a further reading roar lewis wing who'd signed from wickham and who
00:49:29only seems to score special goals let fly once more lifting spirits still further to see his team into
00:49:37the break with the advantage but just when reading thought they'd done the job wickham pinched a point
00:49:43at the very end from taylor allen's cross james tilly headed home his first wickham goal
00:49:50enough to earn his side a very welcome point
00:50:01credit to the referee he has allowed the game to flow oliver langford
00:50:05here comes murray oh and clever ball as well and in it's found its way in from the boots of ryan trevitt
00:50:19james's cross atete might shoot and can only find the body of fox but that's it
00:50:28and roll on the level and it's sean mcwilliams james
00:50:33and then chasing an equalizer oh they've got one well mullin turned it home and they were looking
00:50:53towards the assistant referee rotherham for a flag that never came paul mullen with the final say
00:50:58cardiff are the new leaders and one of two sides left unbeaten alongside bradford stevenich and
00:51:06barnesley both suffered their first losses three points separate the top eight peterborough picked
00:51:12up their first point of the season but stay at the foot of the table plymouth argyle also secured
00:51:17their first points under tom cleverly the pilgrims win sees them jump to 19. the bottom four remain winless
00:51:24the rotherham united community trust provides vital support to individuals living with abdominal
00:51:32aortic aneurysms so we went along to one of their weekly golf sessions to find out more about the
00:51:39condition so this actually came from a partnership with problem united and we run an exercise session
00:51:45with them on a friday um once a week for the men that we have um that we know got aortic aneurysm
00:51:51because we know exercise is a very good thing for proving their overall health and making their
00:51:54surgery better triple a stands for abdominal aortic aneurysm it's a condition that can affect anybody
00:52:00um not something that causes symptoms um but can be potentially fatal what we do is screening to look
00:52:07at men over the age of 65 to do an ultrasound scan make sure there's no signs of an aneurysm because
00:52:12that's something we can treat if there is a problem there so the idea of the project is around community
00:52:17engagement and it's what people want to see so it's not us putting a session on because we think it's
00:52:23what people want it's going out saying what do you want and then golf for the local area working
00:52:28in partnership with peter cowan who's allowed us to do the session they've donated golf clubs so
00:52:33taking away the barrier so people can come and take heart i i have health problems i've had a heart
00:52:39bypass i have aneurysm and it's really important for me to stay healthy and this gives me more exercise
00:52:47it's really important when you've got health issues that you try to take responsibility for
00:52:53your own health and get some exercise really good for my mental health and everybody else we chat and
00:52:59have a laugh if you're invited for a screening have the screening and then afterwards come and join our
00:53:07sessions would be really good for you be aware that when men turn 65 they are going to get that letter
00:53:13through the door don't ignore it all we need to do is sign up for the appointment it's free it's
00:53:17painless it's quick and it could save your life into league two we go next including a meeting between
00:53:24two clubs that won big during the week crew alexandra and gillingham
00:53:28crew alexandra walloped fleetwood town on tuesday to make it four wins from four in league two host
00:53:45gillingham also won big in the week to extend their unbeaten run under gareth ainsworth to 13 league games
00:53:51micky dimitriou said during the week that crew won't be resting on early laurels his early header
00:53:59nearly gave the management something to salivate over in what looked a melt-watering clash on paper
00:54:05on the green grass of priestfield the men of lee bell look to give hell to their hosts alexandra with
00:54:10a great month to date seeking to continue an awesome august only for another bar hit that one for max
00:54:16sanders gareth ainsworth biting his nails here but he's been talking of his total pride at seeing his
00:54:22team develop still unbeaten as boss of the gills they were really riding their luck this time the post
00:54:28denied sub mray tesgill would they rue those missed chances well here's your answer a hundred percenters
00:54:34no more the wind taken out of their sails by sam gale's first efl goal the fans of gillingham
00:54:41their players are thrilling them that's three wins out of three on home turf
00:54:48accrington were looking to build on their solid early home foundations snooping around at the far
00:54:54post charlie brown almost struck gold freddie sass well wide of the mark on the follow-up grimsby had hit
00:55:01the ground running this season though and sure enough midway through the first half jay's cabier
00:55:06continued his rich vein of scoring form celebrations for his fourth of the campaign already early in
00:55:14the second half after farron rawson brought down harvey rogers cabier was given the chance to grab his
00:55:21second of the game this time from the penalty spot instead ollie wright guessed right
00:55:29and the home side would have particular reason to thank their keeper that save was to prove critical
00:55:39in unusual circumstances midway through the second half direct from a dropped ball alex henderson found
00:55:45tyler walton who guided home his third of the season they couldn't build on it but it did ensure honors
00:55:52were even grimsby still unbeaten
00:55:57unbeaten harrogate against chesterfield who in the week lost their 100 winning start to the league
00:56:02two season but that clearly did not dent the spywright's confidence ronan darcy's six minute opener was a
00:56:09work of ice cool genius
00:56:11not that this game was without challenges for paul cook's men they were pegged back early in the second
00:56:22half goalkeeper zach hemming will have been disappointed not to have kept out stephen duke mckenna's shot
00:56:31chesterfield were forced to dig deep and with nine minutes left in the 90 they found a way to win it
00:56:39che dunkley heading home and denying harrogate a club record equaling six games unbeaten in the efl
00:56:47knots county's new boss martin patterson picked up his first victory against shrewsbury in midweek
00:56:52a resounding 4-1 success matt dennis struck early and emphatically to suggest the goals would be
00:56:58flowing again at meadow lane
00:57:03but the next was for bromley who wasted little time leveling things up
00:57:07though mitch pinnock made a hash of the cross the miss kick simply calls more chaos
00:57:12ben thompson in position to profit and off the mark for the campaign
00:57:18in recent seasons that would have been that the last three meetings on this ground finished 1-1
00:57:24but dennis is in no mood to be denied right now heading his second of the match and fourth goal in
00:57:29the space of eight days to restore notts county's lead
00:57:34still behind with eight minutes to go bromley's undefeated start was under serious threat pinnock
00:57:39couldn't avoid the wall with the free kick but his second effort took a decisive deflection
00:57:43off idris odeteo one of those late draws that for the ravens loyal followers felt almost as good as a win
00:57:50and a huge error from the goalkeeper who's palmed the ball into the back of his own net
00:58:07and newport county lead
00:58:14power on the ball and a big decision that's been made by the referee moorland
00:58:19who's pointed straight to the spot
00:58:24mendez lang steps up and then level nathaniel mendez lang converting from the spot
00:58:31liam kelly has one arm raised floating ball delivered nicely there it is
00:58:41callum patterson right place right time mk don's lead by two goals to one
00:58:47can tell everybody headed away
00:58:54and they're back in by davies and they want a penalty and they'll get it
00:59:00it will be camera scored a hat-trick against mk don's in december in that nine goal thriller
00:59:07to equalize for the home side who took the lead early on camera steps up
00:59:13oh it's off the post and a scramble to get it cleared away
00:59:19and it remains newport one milton keynes two
00:59:27and it will be all eyes on aiden flint bustling around trying to escape turton everybody watching flint
