Read Barney Ronay on Jack Grealish

What kind of footballer is Grealish anyway? A creative one? Another blank here made it 36 games without a goal and three assists in a season and a half. His best times at City have come as a dead pocket on the left wing to rest on the ball for a bit. Otherwise Grealish has been reduced to a kind of tactical void. The maverick parts have been sanded off. What has replaced them?

West Ham 1-1 Brighton Pervis Estupinan is booked for a studs-up tackle on Max Kilman. Apparently it could easily have been a red card.

Championship: Plymouth 3-3 Middlesbrough Scratch that, Boro have equalised again! Emmanuel Latte Lath was the man this time.

Championship: Plymouth 3-2 Middlesbrough

Plymouth’s match with Middlesbrough (aka Wayne Rooney v Michael Carrick) in the Championship has been a cracker. Plymouth, who have already been pegged back twice, have just gone ahead for the third time through Mustapha Bundu.

Rangers 1-0 Dundee Hamza Igamane has hit the bar for Rangers, a desperate miss according to Kris Boyd on Sky Soccer Saturday.

GOAL! Leeds 4-0 Oxford (Solomon 73) Manor Solomon made the first and third goals; now he’s scored the fourth.

GOAL! Cardiff 0-2 Sheff Utd (Moore 73) Two goals for Kieffer Moore against his old club; that should seal the deal for Sheffield United.

GOAL! Sunderland 2-1 Norwich (Bellingham 72) Sunderland are a man up and now a goal up thanks to Jobe Bellingham. He sat a defender down on the left side of the six-yard box and curled the ball into the far corner; that’s a really good finish.

Sunderland 1-1 Norwich There’s been a lot of needle in this game, by all accounts, and Norwich’s Jose Cordoba has just been given a second yellow card. Meanwhile…

GOAL! Leeds 3-0 Oxford (Aaronson 67) It sounds like a very comfortable afternoon for Leeds, who now lead Oxford 3-0. Brenden Aaronson scored after a good from Manor Solomon.

The team news is in for Crystal Palace v Arsenal, which kicks off at 5.30pm, and Scott Murray has it all.

GOAL! Cardiff 0-1 Sheff Utd (65) The Championship leaders are also in front thanks to a terrific finish from Kieffer Moore. With third-place Burnley 2-0 up at home to Watford, it’s as you were at the top.

GOAL! West Ham 1-1 Brighton (Kudus 58)

Mohammed Kudus heads West Ham level after Jarrod Bowen’s shot is pushed away. Terrific play by Bowen and a smart finish from Kudus.

GOAL! Leeds 2-0 Oxford (Bogle 57) Jayden Bogle has put Leeds 2-0 up at Elland Road, where they are set to win their ninth consecutive game.

GOAL! Ipswich 0-4 Newcastle (Isak 54; Isak hat-trick)

Alexander Isak is damn hot right now. He’s just completed a hat-trick at Portman Road, which makes it six goals in the last four league games for him. It was a clever little finish, stabbed quickly past Muric after an ingenious backheel from Jacob Murphy.

GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Brighton (Wieffer 51)

Brighton have also been on a poor run but Mats Wieffer has put them ahead at West Ham with his first goal for the club. It was nicely taken, volleyed into an emptyish net after Fabianski came off his line to challenge Lewis Dunk for a cross.

GOAL! Aberdeen 1-3 Hibernian (Boyle 49) Aberdeen’s woes continues. Their winless run is surely going to stretch to six games, and that Vaclav Cerny goal means they are on course to drop below Rangers into third.

GOAL! Brentford 0-2 Nottm Forest (Elanga 51)

Forest are doing it again! Anthony Elanga has taken advantage of a mistake from Keane Lewis-Potter to double their lead at the Gtech Stadium. Lovely finish too, shaped into the far corner as he made an angled run into the area.

GOAL! Rangers 1-0 Dundee (Cerny 47) And at Ibrox. Vaclav Cerny runs onto Danilo’s pass and strolls round the keeper to score.

GOAL! Sunderland 1-1 Norwich (Ballard 47) A fast start to the second half at the Stadium of Light, where Dan Ballard has headed a cracking equaliser for the home side.

“In three months, Forest has become a very good football team.” says Mark Turner. “It might not be the full Ranieri fairytale scenario, but this is no-flash-in-the-pan side. Balanced, patient, dangerous attack. Morgan Gibbs-White is destined for greatness. Murillo will be sorely missed when he’s snapped up by Real Madrid. Applause for Nuno.”

Why does he receive so little credit? Is it because his teams are best on the counter-attack? Or a lack of charisma in interviews? For the most part he did a brilliant job at Wolves and you can’t really judge anyone on four months at Spurs.
