Brentford v West Ham, Newcastle v Brighton: Premier League and EFL – football live | Premier League

Newcastle 2-1 Brighton

Ooof! Yankuba Minteh has missed a sitter, laid on for him for Georginio Rutter. Newcastle clinging on.

Barnet have scored at Harrogate, making it 2-1 to the away team and all but condemning the North Yorkshire team to the National League. At Barrow, Newport have scored, and lead 2-1. That means Barrow and Harrogate are heading down. The scenes following Bobby Kamwa’s goal for Newport were uproarious.

Kari Tulinius gets in touch: “There were two 3-3 draws this afternoon in the Bundesliga. 10-man Stuttgart got a last minute equalizer away to Hoffenheim, after coming back from 3-1. This keeps Stuttgart in the last Champions League place, at least until Leverkusen host RB Leipzig tonight. Meanwhile, Heidenheim let in a heartbreaking last minute goal, when an Olise shot hit the post and went in off the diving keeper. If they’d held on for a win, they’d have given themselves a good chance to avoid relegation.”

The Hammers are in dire trouble while Brentford are climbing up to sixth. What a job Keith Andrews is doing by the way.

Bradford lead 2-0 at Exeter, Antoni Sarvecic getting it, and that drags them down further towards League Two.

Billy Sharp has made it three for Doncaster at Peterborough. Is he trying to sign off with 300 career goals?

Newport have equalised at Barrow, and that drags Harrogate into the bottom two of League Two.

Brentford 2-0 West Ham

Crysencio Summerville has rattled the crossbar, as West Ham, having changed formation, push for a way back.

Plymouth lead 3-2 at Northampton, and climb into sixth in League One after Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu’s goal.

Newcastle 2-1 Brighton

Eddie Howe has made three changes as Brighton push on for the equaliser. Nervy moments for the Toon Army.

Stockport lead at Barnsley in League One, and climb into third. Billy Sharp has scored again for Doncaster at Peterborough; what a way to sign off.

Bromley, with open-top bus parade planned for Monday, will do so as champions, and now lead 3-1. MK Dons, vying with them, drawing with Fleetwood as the final minutes of the second half approach.

At the bottom of League Two, a huge goal for Tranmere, Nathan Smith getting it, heading home from a corner. Barrow and Newport are heading down at the moment.

Bromley lead Walsall 2-1 in League Two, and are on course for the title. In the battle for playoffs, Chesterfield lead Swindon 2-1, and that opens up a four-point gap, as it stands.

Luton have made it 2-2 at Bolton, Hakeem Odoffin getting it for Jack Wilshere’s boys.

Could Newcastle be blowing a lead again? Danny Welbeck lays up Jack Hinselwood for a smashing finish.

Leyton Orient pegged back by Burton, it’s 2-2 after Alex Hartridge’s goal. Exeter, losing at home to Bradford, are still in the League One ejector seat.

Notts County’s automatic promotion hopes in League Two have been hit by a goal from Bristol Rovers’ Ellis Harrison.

The central defender heads home, and after a brief delay for a suspected tug, it will stands.

Billy Sharp, 40, has just scored for Doncaster at Peterborough, in his final game.

Big moment but Thiago keeps his cool to beat Hermandsen.

Leyton Orient have just scored against Burton, with Dom Ballard getting the goal. That lifts them to 18th in League One.

Ouatarra has been fouled by Diouf, and VAR is checking whether it was inside the box.

In League Two, Barrow have missed a penalty, in that vital game at the bottom. Barrow are still bottom as it stands.

League One

• Barnsley 0-1 Stockport

• Bolton 2-1 Luton

• Exeter 0-1 Bradford

• Leyton Orient 1-1 Burton

• Northampton 2-2 Plymouth

• Stevenage 0-0 Wigan

League Two

OK, back underway for those second halves. I’m back in the chair.

James Humphries gets in touch: “One for the Knowledge, maybe, but is that gap between Leicester and the owls the biggest points differential between bottom and second bottom? You’d have to go some to beat a 46-point gap, surely, even allowing for deductions.”

In the week that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund finally pulled the plug on LIV golf Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Newcastle’s chair headed a 25 PIF delegation conducting an annual club review at Matfen Hall Hotel in Northumberland.

Al-Rumayyan and co rounded their trip off with a visit to St James’ Park to watch Eddie Howe’s team take on Brighton this afternoon. But the chair – who arrived complete with an expensive set of clubs – is understood to have enjoyed a round of golf at the excellent course adjacent to Matfen Hall yesterday/Friday.

Half-time whistles are blowing. In Leagues One and Two, lots of permutations are being tapped into calculators.

Another twist in League One. Luton’s playoff hopes take a knock as they fall 2-1 behind at third-placed Bolton. They’re now eighth in the live table.

In League One, Plymouth have now made it 2-2 at Northampton after being 2-0 down. One more goal and from looking down and out they’d move up into the playoff spots. That’s presuming everything else stays the same and, of course, it won’t!

Brentford 1-0 West Ham

The Hammers are doing everything to equalise. Mavropanos had a ‘goal’ ruled out while Castellanos has hit both posts. That said, Brentford have just had a huge chance to double their lead via Lewis-Potter but somehow it stays out.

Are Bromley going to snatch title glory in League Two? That’s how it stands right now as Ben Thompson puts them ahead against Walsall. They’re currently two… hang on, make that one point ahead of MK Dons, who have just equalised at Fleetwood.

Leyton Orient have conceded an equaliser to Burton in League One. They still look safe for now though with Exeter losing at home to Bradford.

Twists at the top in League Two. Leaders MK Dons trail Fleetwood so are in danger of being pipped to the title by Bromley. Third-placed Cambridge have missed a penalty at Crewe.

Key goal in League One. Exeter are heading to League Two after they fall 1-0 behind to playoff hopefuls Bradford. Plymouth have pulled one back at Northampton.

It’s another hair pulling incident, folks. Ballard yanks Arokodare’s barnet and that’s not allowed is it. Paul Tierney jogs over to the pitchside monitor and soon after shows Ballard the red card. Sunderland still lead 1-0 but they’re down to 10 men.

Brighton had made the better start but suddenly they’re 2-0 down to Newcastle as Big Dan Burn heads home at the near-post to double the Magpies’ lead.

Brentford 1-0 West Ham

Mavropanos looks to have equalised but his effort is chalked off for offside. A shame. Always fun to see a player score at both ends.

Plymouth have a mountain to climb if they’re to nick a playoff spot as they’re already 2-0 down at Northampton. All happening at Bolton. Luton score a controversial penalty to go into the playoffs and then drop out of them again as Bolton equalise.

And we have goals in all three Premier League kick-offs as Mukiele heads home Xhaka’s corner to put Sunderland in front.

Big goal in the London derby as a scramble in the West Ham box results in what is deemed to be a Mavropanos own goal. Brentford are in front; Spurs fans celebrating.
