Full-time: Norwich City 0-0 Wolves

Premier League: Norwich City guarantee themselves bottom billing on Match of the Day yet again after a scoreless draw against Wolves. It’s a decent enough result for the Canaries, who have a huge avian derby against the Magpies of Newcastle on Tuesday night.

Championiship: Incredible scenes at the Vitality Stadium, where Coventry City have scored a late equaliser against 10-man Bournemouth. It’s 2-2, with Coventry having scored both their goals since Jefferson Lerma got sent off for the hosts.

Norwich 0-0 Wolves: Norwich City are huffing and puffing but can’t quite blow the Wolves door down. Teemu Pukki stretches every sinew but can’t steer the ball goalwards from a cross.

GOAL! Crystal Palace 0-2 Aston Villa (McGinn 86)

Premier League: John McGinn rifles a shot past Vicente Guaita in the Palace goal to double Villa’s lead. Crystal Palace’s unbeaten home record for this season is about to end.

Norwich City 0-0 Wolves: Norwich striker Teemu Pukki finds himself in a one-on-one with Jose Sa but takes a heavy touch and is foiled by the Wolves goalkeeper.

In slightly worse news for Bournemouth, Jefferson Lerma has just been sent off for serious foul play after lunging into an opponent. At Kenilworth Road, Luton have restored parity against Jordan Clark.

Championship: Swansea equalise against Reading, with Ryan Manning making it 2-2 at the Liberty Stadium. Within a minute, Danny Drinkwater – yes, that Danny Drinkwater – fires Reading back in front.

Meanwhile at the MKM Stadium, Ryan Longman has put Hull ahead by the odd goal of three against Millwall, while Reda Khadra has opened the scoring for Blackburn Rovers in their game against Stoke City on what must be a bitterly cold day at the Bet365 Stadium, which is perishing at the best of times.

GOAL! Liverpool 4-0 Southampton (Van Dijk 52)

Premnier League: Virgil van Dijk volleys home his first goal for 14 months from near the penalty spot, swinging his boot to convert an inswinger from a corner. Southampton are getting an absolute hiding at Anfield.

Scottish Premiership: Second from bottom Dundee go 3-0 up against Motherwell, while Ross County, the only side below them in the table, trail Dundee United by a Luis Appere goal on 49 minutes.

Liverpool 3-0 Southampton: Liverpool begin the second half much like they played throughout the first, swarming forward with Mo Salah and Diogo Jota causing terror among the Southampton defence. Southampton have brought on a brace of Nathans – Tella and Redmond – and switched from a 3-4-3 to a 4-4-2, for all the good it is likely to do them.

Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Wycombe Wanderers: We brought you news of a medical emergency in the stands at Hillsborough which prompted the removal of the teams from the field so a fan could be treated.

Sky Sports are reporting that the fan in question seems to be OK, which is obviously great news. Play has resumed and Olamide Shodipo has restored parity for Wednesday in the ninth minute of added time at the end of the first half.

Norwich City 0-0 Wolves: Jose Sa is called into action to save from Teemu Pukki after good work from Norwich full-back Max Aarons.

Liverpool 3-0 Southampton: Liverpool almost score a fourth, with Mo Salah stretching every sinew but just failing to get the touch that would have diverted Diogo Jota’s cross into the net.

League One: Cambridge United had equalised against Sunderland with a Sam Smith goal I hadn’t got around to mentioning yet. All is well in the world again, however, as Nathan Broadhead has just fired Sunderland back into the lead in the 36th minute.

GOAL! Liverpool 3-0 Southampton (Thiago 37)

Premier League: Southampton’s annual shipping of nine goals is looking more and more likely. Thiago picks up a headed clearance outside the penalty area, advances and unleashes a shot. The ball takes a wicked deflection off Lyanco on its way in.

Crystal Palace 0-1 Aston Villa: Tyrone Mings misses a decent chance to double Aston Villa’s lead with a far post volley.

Championship: There’s a medical emergency in one of the stands at Hillsborough, where Sheffield Wednesday are hosting Wycombe Wanderers. The players have left the pitch as a stricken spectator is tended to by the medical staff from both teams. We wish whoever it is well.

GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Southampton (Jota 32)

Premier League: Unmarked at the far post, Diogo Jota sidefoots home a Mo Salah cross from a couple of yards out after good work down the right by the Egyptian and Jordan Henderson.

Championship: Duncan Watmore scores his second of the game to make it Huddersfield Town 0-2 Middlesbrough at John Smith’s Stadium. From just inside the penalty area, he lobbed Town goalkeeper Lee Nicholls with what can only be described as aplomb.

770 - Matt Targett's opener for Aston Villa was his first Premier League goal in 770 days, ending a run of 74 games without scoring since netting against Brighton in October 2019. Quenched. #CRYAVL
