    We've enjoyed goals galore across League One and Two with new leaders at the top of both divisions.

    In the third tier, Cardiff and Barnsley fans will be happy with their sides but followers of Lincoln and Port Vale will be hoping for better next weekend.

    The battle for promotion in League Two also remains tightly contested with Walsall reclaiming their place at the top of the tree but with Swindon and Bromley hot on their heels.

    As ever, thanks for joining us for all the action and there's the small matter of the Steel City derby in the Championship tomorrow.

    With both Sheffield sides struggling this campaign, there's plenty on the line for both Blades and Owls in the high noon showdown.

    We'll be bringing you all the action live - see you then!

    Walsall's lunchtime win over Harrogate sees them return to the top of table as Swindon's later 2-2 draw with Grimsby meant they were unable to re-take the lead over the Saddlers.

    Bromley have leapfrogged MK Dons and Notts County to climb to third after a 2-0 win over Salford.

    Cheltenham have soared out of the relegation zone following their 1-0 victory over Bristol Rovers, with Harrogate Town falling into the dropzone. Crawley's draw with Accrington takes them a point further away from the bottom.

    In the middle of the pack, points for Grimsby, Cambridge, Fleetwood and Colchester see them climb positions, with Salford and Barnet dropping.

    League One has seen three different leaders this afternoon - Lincoln started the day there, Cardiff took over and then Bradford were top for three minutes when Northampton briefly levelled against the Bluebirds.

    Brian Barry-Murphy's men were the only side in the top six to win in this round of fixtures, allowing the likes of Huddersfield, Barnsley and Wycombe - who toppled Lincoln in a thriller at Adams Park - to close the gap.

    It's hotting-up at the bottom too as Wigan pulled away from the drop-zone with a stunning win at AFC Wimbledon while Blackpool snatched a dramatic late point at Leyton Orient to leapfrog Plymouth on goal difference after the Pilgrims' lunchtime win in the basement battle at now rock bottom Port Vale.

    Bromley came out on top in a big game between two sides with promotion ambitions as goals from Omar Sowunmi and Will Hondermarck helped them to a 2-0 victory over Salford City.

    Cheltenham won what could turn out to be a six-pointer in the survival scrap, edging 1-0 past Bristol Rovers. Jonathan Tomkinson got the only goal of the game in the 70th minute and the Gas have now lost seven in a row in League Two.

    Bottom side Newport County were brushed aside at Oldham, losing 3-0, while MK Dons came from 2-0 down with 10 men to draw at Tranmere.

    Cambridge picked up their first win in four games to subject Barrow to their fourth straight match without a victory, winning 2-0 thanks to a double from Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu.

    Crawley and Accrington played out a 1-1 draw and Fleetwood eased to a 3-1 win at home to Shrewsbury.

    This is truly a crazy division.

    Cardiff lead the way at the top after Joel Colwill’s early goal had them 1-0 up at Northampton and though Ethan Wheatley levelled just before the hour he turned into his own net three minutes later and Chris Willock sealed a 3-1 win late-on.

    Sam Bell scored twice as pre-match table-toppers Lincoln trailed 2-0 at Wycombe at half-time and though Justin Obiksu and Freddie Draper made it 2-2 after 76 minutes, Jack Grimmer won it for Wycombe late on.

    Bradford are up to second above the Imps as they battled to a goalless draw at Bolton, while Stevenage are sixth after a stalemate against Doncaster.

    Harrison Bettoni’s late double for Wigan cancelled out Ali Smith’s opener for AFC Wimbledon and secured a precious three points at Plough Lane as the Dons slipped to eighth below Huddersfield, who were 3-0 up inside 16 minutes at Mansfield, with Dion Charles bagging his fourth goal in three games before Will Evans pulled one back

    Reyes Cleary, Patrick Kelly, Luca Connell, a Gideon Kodua own-goal and Davis Keillor-Dunn’s eighth of the season has Barnsley a point back in ninth as they thrashed Luton 5-0 at Oakwell – where the Tykes they had lost the last two games without scoring.

    Charlie Savage earned a point for Reading at home to Rotherham, for whom Josh Benson had the Millers 1-0 up.

    Aaron Connelly had Leyton Orient 1-0 up against Blackpool but the O's were reduced to 10-men and Ashley Fletcher bagged a 94th-minute leveller for the Tangerines who climbed to third bottom, above Plymouth who won 1-0 at Port Vale at lunchtime.

    Just a reminder, Exeter v Burton was postponed due to fire damage at St James Park.

    Notts County 1-3 Colchester

    A big, big result for Colchester away at promotion-chasing Notts County, who see their six-game unbeaten run ended by a resilient U's side.

    Danny Cowley's side had to come from behind to earn all three points in very impressive fashion.

    And whisper it quietly, but Colchester are closing in on the play-off places.

    Crewe 3-3 Chesterfield

    It probably seems fair that neither side has come out on the losing side in such a brilliant game of football.

    Chesterfield might feel the most disappointed having led 2-0 and then 3-2 only to be pegged back twice.

    Can't complain about a lack of entertainment in that one though.

    Wycombe 3-2 Lincoln

    Stunning game.

    Lincoln were top of the pile this morning but have suffered a third defeat in four away games in dramatic fashion.

    Sam Bell's first-half double had the Chairboys cruising but subs Justin Obikwu and Freddie Draper hauled the Imps back level with 14 minutes to go, only for Jack Grimmer to win it two minutes from time.

    Wycombe are unbeaten in seven and Michael Duff's men are closing on the play-offs while Michael Skubala's Imps are out of the automatic promotion places.

    GOAL: Notts County 1-3 Colchesterpublished at 16:58 GMT 22 November 2025

    Will Goodwin (90+5 mins)

    That does seal it late on for Colchester. What a performance from Danny Cowley's side.

    John-Kymani Gordon bursts down the line and sets it back for Will Goodwin to hammer home.

    Swindon 2-2 Grimsby

    After a thriller of a first half, neither side could grab a winner in the second and the points are shared.

    Swindon miss out on the chance to reclaim their top spot in League Two and Grimsby remain outside of the play-off places.

    Ollie Palmer and Billy Bodin gave the hosts a lead early in the first half before Kieran Green and a penalty from Danny Rose levelled things up for the visitors.

    Both sides will rue missed chances to take the win but emergency loan keeper Richard O'Donnell deserves a lot of credit for keeping his side in it in the second-half.

    Crewe 3-3 Chesterfield

    A chance for Chesterfield to win it deep into stoppage time... but Emre Tezgel has blazed it over from close range. That was the moment to take all three points.

    Bolton 0-0 Bradford

    Jamie Raynor
    BBC Radio Leeds' Bradford City commentator

    Pretty much all of the outfield for Bradford are on their haunches, it's been an absolute humdinger.

    Neither team have been able to produce the quality, a draw will be a fair result.

    Bolton 0-0 Bradford

    Somehow, somehow, it ends 0-0.

    Bolton's winning streak is over. Bradford, and keeper Sam Walker, have earned a precious point infront of a packed Toughsheet to stay above the Trotters in the table, and climb into the automatic promotion places.

    Stevenage 0-0 Doncaster

    There was A LOT of goals in the EFL today but the Lamex Stadium wasn't invited to the party.

    A bore draw from Stevenage and Doncaster here.

    Cardiff are going top of the table, they lead 3-1 at Northampton through Chris WIllock's late goal.

    Blackpool look to have snatched a late, late leveller at 10-man Leyton Orient through Ashley Fletcher.

    Notts County 1-2 Colchester

    Will Jarvis cuts in on his left foot on the edge of the box and let's fly but his shot hits Matthew Dennis and flies over the bar.

  17. INJURY TIMEpublished at 16:54 GMT 22 November 2025

    There will be SIX added minutes at Meadow Lane. Still time for County. Can they find an equaliser?

    Crewe 3-3 Chesterfield

    This ding-dong game will be blessed with six more additional minutes.

    Doncaster's Luke Molyneux picks up a late booking.

  20. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:51 GMT 22 November 2025

    Notts County 1-2 Colchester

    That should seal it for Colchester! But hang on... the flag is up...

    The U's were convinced they'd made it 3-1 but it's not going to stand.

    Will Goodwin turned it home from Ellis Iandolo's strike - but after a check with the assistant the referee disallows it.

    Still a chance for Notts County to find a late leveller.
