Football League results
Some drama in the Championshipâs early games. Leaders West Brom fought back from 2-0 down at Sheffield Wednesday before Anthony Musaba came up with an 86th-minute winner for the hosts. Norwich also won by the odd goal in five at Derby with Borja Sainz the hat-trick hero. That first Norwich goal though! (see 13.43 BST).

The win for Walsall puts them top.
Full-time: Newcastle 1-1 Man City
Itâs a point apiece at St Jamesâ Park thanks to Anthony Gordonâs second-half penalty for the hosts. City stay top but, by my calculations, Pep Guardiolaâs men could end the weekend in fourth if Arsenal hammer Leicester by a four-goal margin, Liverpool beat Wolves and Aston Villa win at Ipswich.
Seven minutes of added time to play at St Jamesâ Park where itâs still Newcastle 1-1 Man City.
Serie A latest: Udinese 0-1 Inter
Itâs been a slightly sticky start to the season for champions Inter but theyâve taken the lead at Udinese today inside the opening minute via Davide Frattesi.
Still 1-1 at St Jamesâ Park with 10 minutes to go. This would be four points dropped in two games for Manchester City. Those âwithout Rodriâ stats will no doubt be flashed up again if they fail to win here.
Goals in the Championship
Second-half strikes in all three games. Blackburn are 2-0 up on QPR after goals from Lewis Travis and Danny Batth; Josh Maja has pulled a goal back for West Brom, who now trail 2-1 at Sheffield Wednesday; and Borja Sainz has scored his second of the day for Norwich to give the Canaries the lead again after Craig Forsyth had levelled for Derby.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Man City (Gordon 58)
Bang! Thereâs no Isak but Gordon steps up and sends Ederson the wrong way. Game on!
Newcastle have a penalty at home to Manchester City. Anthony Gordon bursts through and is tripped by Ederson, who picks up a yellow. VAR says yes, the spot-kick stands.
Oof!! Norwich lead at Derby but, come on, the ball was surely out in the build-up.
Premier League teams news arrives 75 minutes before kick-off these days so weâll have starting XIs very soon.
More early kick-off news
But not great news for Deanoâs former club Bradford, who trail 2-1 at Harrogate in a North v West Yorkshire derby. In the other League Two game that started early, Walsall lead Colchester 1-0. In League One, weâre into the second half of two games and itâs currently Crawley 0-1 Bolton and Reading 1-1 Huddersfield.
Championship half-times
Itâs been a tough first period for leaders West Brom, who are 2-0 down at Sheffield Wednesday following a Darnell Furlong own goal (9) and a strike from Josh Windass (23) for the hosts. I drove past a place in Bradford a couple of days ago and saw an advert for an evening with Dean Windass. Good times for the Windass clan.

Preamble
While the top looks very familiar, thereâs a slightly unusual look to the Premier League table this season due to six teams still having a zero in the âwinâ column. Three of those sides â Leicester, Crystal Palace and Everton â are in action at 3pm. Leicester have it all on to break their duck given that theyâre away at Arsenal while the other two, Everton and Palace, meet at Goodison. Pencil that in for a draw then. Wolves, who are bottom, host Liverpool in the 5.30pm game so thereâs a fair chance we end today with six teams still searching for a first win.
At the other end of the table, Arsenal, Brighton and Nottingham Forest all go into their 3pm games with unbeaten records in the top-flight so far.
Elsewhere, Aberdeen can go top of the SPL for a few hours, with Celtic in action later today. And while itâs not on my watch, note that itâs Bayern v Leverkusen in the Bundesliga at 5.30pm.
These are our featured games, all 3pm kick-offs unless stated.

Half-time: Newcastle 0-1 Manchester City
Itâs been a well-contested first 45 minutes at St Jamesâ Park but City have the advantage after a Josko Gvardiol goal 10 minutes before the break. Nice set-up play from Jack Grealish and a classy finish from the Croatian.
