  1. FULL-TIME

    Middlesbrough 4-0 Preston

    Tommy Conway of Middlesbrough celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal with teammate Dael FryGetty Images

    A rampant Middlesbrough cut the gap to leaders Coventry to three points as they dismantle a Preston side who did all they could to help them with some poor defending.

    Alan Browne and Tommy Conway had put Boro two goals in front before Lewis Gibson fell asleep at the back and had his pocket picked by former Plymouth team-mate Morgan Whittaker for a third just before the break.

    Whatever was said at the interval in the Preston changing room went out of the window as Jordan Storey was caught in possession by Conway and hauled him to the ground to earn a red card.

    Conway helped himself to a second as Jack Walton parried Leo Castledine's free kick into his path.

    It could have been worse for the woeful visitors who suffer a third successive league defeat without scoring and their top-six tenure may well come to an end later this afternoon.

    When you look at and analyse the game there has been some really good performances.

    Luke Ayling, Alan Browne and Tommy Conway have all done particularly well.

  3. goal

    GOAL: Millwall 4-0 Charlton

    Aidomo Emakhu (90 + 3 mins)

    No denying who's got that one! Charlton don't deal with yet another cross and substitute Aidomo Emakhu hits a low piledriver into the far corner.

  4. Middlesbrough 4-0 Preston

    We will have an extra three minutes.

    This has been over as a contest since the 42nd minute when Middlesbrough went 3-0 up.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Millwall 3-0 Charlton

    Luke Cundle (90 + 2 mins)

    What a mess!

    Camiel Neghli and Femi Azeez have a bit of a disagreement over who is going to take the penalty but the number 10 wins out - and sees a tame penalty saved!

    He puts the ball back across and it pingpongs in off Luke Cundle.

  6. PENALTY to MILLWALL

    Millwall 2-0 Charlton

    Femi Azeez has had some game and he now wins a late penalty after turning Reece Burke inside out.

  7. SUBSTITUTION

    Middlesbrough 4-0 Preston

    After that crunching challenge, Adilson Malanda cannot continue.

    Finley Munroe is on.

  8. Millwall 2-0 Charlton

    Ole time at the Den as Millwall pen Charlton in and ping the ball around at will. They have been excellent today.

  9. Middlesbrough 4-0 Preston

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees

    I think his forearm goes into his head, it does not get any better on second viewing.

    I do not know how much intent there was, it will be just a yellow card.

    There is a little bit of blood there, take him off, do not risk anything.

  10. YELLOW CARD

    Middlesbrough 4-0 Preston

    Jordan Thompson flattens Middlesbrough's Adilson Malanda.

    He may be lucky just to get a yellow card.

    Mark Drury
    BBC Tees commentator

    Boro are cementing their grip on second place.

    They will be five points clear of Ipswich when they kick off at Bramall Lane this afternoon.

    Morgan Whittaker is now just two goals behind the top of the leading goalscorers in the division now as well.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Millwall 2-0 Charlton

    Caleb Taylor (81 mins)

    There it is! The second goal Millwall have craved all second half arrives and it's unstoppable.

    Alfie Doughty's corner is pinpoint, Caleb Taylor has the run on the Charlton defence and heads down and in.

    Job. Done.

  13. CLOSE!

    Millwall 1-0 Charlton

    That second goal just won't come! Millwall sub Aidomo Emakhu hits a deflected shot which floats just over the top...

  14. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Middlesbrough 4-0 Preston

    Preston introduce the returning Andrija Vukcevic from a three-month injury lay off.

    Michael Smith is also on.

    Jamal Lewis and Daniel Jebbison make way.

  15. Millwall 1-0 Charlton

    Nathan JonesShutterstock

    Into the last 15 minutes of regular time at The Den. Charlton have not offered much in attack in the second half as Tristan Crama threads another fine cross into the middle for Millwall.

    Again, there's nobody there in blue to finish it off.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Middlesbrough 4-0 Preston

    Off comes Hayden Hackney for Middlesbrough to tumultuous applause.

    Riley McGree gets 16 minutes to show us what he can do.

  17. Middlesbrough 4-0 Preston

    Jack Walton is called into action.

    Alex Gilbert tries to curl in a fifth goal for Middlesbrough and Walton pushes it wide.

  18. Get Involved

    Middlesbrough 4-0 Preston

    Boro shutting a few Coventry and Ipswich fans who are trying to call it a two-horse race. Up the Boro!

    Richard - Horsforth

  19. Millwall 1-0 Charlton

    Another attack, another gem of a cross from Femi Azeez. The Millwall winger has been electric.

  20. Preston 'have offered nothing going forward'

    Middlesbrough 4-0 Preston

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees

    Preston have lacked quality in forward areas.

    I know their centre forward got sent off the other week and they are missing him, but still they have offered nothing going forward.

    He will have missed 20 games in total through suspension mind, that violent conduct, he was absolutely stupid.
