    What is it they say about buses?

    Portsmouth's Terry Devlin hadn't scored since 28 October 2023 before today.

    He's on a hat-trick now!

  3. 'Stuffing knocked out of Rovers'published at 13:23 GMT 8 November 2025

    HT: Blackburn 0-2 Derby

    Ian Barton
    BBC Radio Lancashire summariser

    Rovers were looking good towards the end of the half, but that second goal has knocked the stuffing out of them.

  4. 'Murphy's cross was so good'published at 13:20 GMT 8 November 2025

    Hull City 2-2 Portsmouth

    Guy Whittingham
    Former Portsmouth manager on BBC Radio Solent

    That delivery from Josh Murphy was so good and Devlin was there for the open goal. All he had to do was guide it in.

    That is a boost for Pompey, going into the break.

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:20 GMT 8 November 2025

    Hull City 2-2 Portsmouth

    Brilliant opening 45 minutes!

    Terry Devlin ended the away side's three-match goalless run with a deflected effort before the Tigers took control themselves with goals from Enis Destan and Kyle Joseph.

    However, Pompey levelled in time added on when Devlin headed home from Josh Murphy's sumptuous left wing cross.

    More of the same after the break please lads!

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:18 GMT 8 November 2025

    Millwall 1-1 Preston

    A tale of two mistakes in the first half.

    Michael Smith latched on to a loose pass from Camiel Neghli to give the visitors an early lead.

    Millwall cranked up the pressure and levelled the score through bizarre circumstances.

    Daniel Iversen's slip under no pressure put it on a plate for Mihailo Ivanovic, with the Serbian striker slotting away to make it 1-1.

    Millwall keeper Max Crocombe was almost punished for dallying on the ball late in the half but was relieved to see his clearance ricochet behind for a goal kick after he'd been closed down by Mads Frokjaer.

    All to play for after the break.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:18 GMT 8 November 2025

    Blackburn 0-2 Derby

    Carlton Morris and Patrick Agyemang have Derby half-way to a fifth straight Championship win.

    Morris' 10th goal of the Championship season, and sixth in his past four games, was a fine glancing header from a great Callum Elder corner while Agyemang boomed home a header from an even better cross from Joe Ward just before the break.

    Blackburn's 150th anniversary party is being pooped by John Eustace and the Rams at present.

    GOAL: Hull City 2-2 Portsmouthpublished at 13:18 GMT 8 November 2025

    Terry Devlin (45+2 mins)

    He's done it again!!!

    To be fair, it's ALL about the assist this one.

    Josh Murphy stands his man up down the left and then bursts past him before swinging in an absolute PEACH of a cross.

    Terry Devlin is free at the back post to just glance the ball into the corner and it's all-square again.

  9. 'Hull in control'published at 13:18 GMT 8 November 2025

    Hull City 2-1 Portsmouth

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside

    Hull have been in control of the game ever since going behind. Portsmouth have stopped Hull from playing through the lines, like they like to do, but Hull have adapted really well and found success.

    We're into THREE minutes of time added on at the MKM.

  11. CLOSE!published at 13:17 GMT 8 November 2025

    Millwall 1-1 Preston

    What is going on?!

    Max Crocombe is so, so lucky in the Millwall goal.

    He takes a heavy touch and Mads Frokjaer is right on to him.

    The Preston striker sticks his leg out and Crocombe's attempted clearance crashes straight into it, before whistling wide of the post.

    Aidomo Emakhu then breaks up the other end and shoots just wide of the near post for Millwall.

    Three minutes of added time.

    Crazy game.

  12. INJURY TIMEpublished at 13:17 GMT 8 November 2025

    Into THREE added minutes at the end of the first half.

    GOAL: Blackburn 0-2 Derbypublished at 13:15 GMT 8 November 2025

    Patrick Agyemang (45 mins)

    What a bullet header this is.

    Carlton Morris flicks the ball back on the Derby right for Joe Ward to steady himself and then swing in an inviting cross to the back post where Patrick Agyemang times his run and leap perfectly to power a header into Aynsley Pears' top right corner. Unstoppable.

    A very happy return to Ewood Park for John Eustace at present.

  14. Postpublished at 13:13 GMT 8 November 2025

    Millwall 1-1 Preston

    A huge opportunity to score on his first league start for Millwall goes begging for Caleb Taylor.

    Aidomo Emakhu's corner comes in and falls down in the crowd.

    It sits up perfectly for Taylor but his shot glides wide of the post.

    Preston then go up the other end and Stefan Thordarson shoots just wide to win his side a corner, which Millwall eventually get clear.

    A lively end to the first half.

  15. goal

    GOAL: Hull City 2-1 Portsmouthpublished at 13:13 GMT 8 November 2025

    Kyle Joseph (42 mins)

    Kyle Joseph takes this chance!

    The home side turn the game around just before the break.

    Joe Gelhardt swings in a corner from the City right and Joseph is just too strong for Terry Devlin in the middle and heads home.

    Tigers back up to fifth as it stands.

  16. CLOSE!published at 13:13 GMT 8 November 2025

    Blackburn 0-1 Derby

    There's some inspiration...

    Taylor Gardner-Hickman picks the ball up 40 yards from goal and with a pocket of space ahead of him, he strides forward and lashes in a swerving strike which flies inches over Jacob Widell-Zetterstrom's crossbar with the keeper swiping at fresh air.

  17. 'Fantastic chance for Hull'published at 13:10 GMT 8 November 2025

    Hull City 1-1 Portsmouth

    Andrew Moon
    BBC Radio Solent commentator

    What a fantastic chance for Hull City there, but Kyle Joseph gets the header woefully wrong.

    The Pompey defence just doesn't look right.

  18. Postpublished at 13:10 GMT 8 November 2025

    Blackburn 0-1 Derby

    Lewis Miller, who has a bleached, cropped Eminem look about him today (or Euro 96 Gazza for those of a different vintage) launches in a series of long throws from the Rovers right but they're meat and drink for the Rams defence at present and they then clear a Taylor Gardner-Hickman corner expertly too.

    Blackburn need some inspiration in open play.

  19. Postpublished at 13:10 GMT 8 November 2025

    Millwall 1-1 Preston

    Having just scored Mihailo Ivanovic is down after an aerial challenge with Preston captain Ben Whiteman.

    It looked fairly innocuous and the Serbian striker is back up.

    The scoreboard is very much more reflective of the flow of this game now.

    Two abolute gifts.

  20. Postpublished at 13:07 GMT 8 November 2025

    Blackburn 0-1 Derby

    Blackburn have finally had a shot, although it didn't trouble Jacob Widell-Zetterstrom in the Derby goal.

    A cross from the right breaks to Ryoya Morishita just outside the box but his first-time effort from a bouncing ball flashes high and wide of the Rams goal.
