And that’s all we’ve got time for. Tributes are pouring in for Sir Bobby Charlton, with English football having lost one of its genuine all-time greats, arguably the greatest. You can follow them here.

John Brewin watched Brentford deal a harsh Premier League lesson to new boys Burnley.

While Will Unwin saw Manchester City blow hot, then cold, but ultimately hot enough:

Louise Taylor watched Newcastle hit top gear:

And here’s how the table looks, with two more Saturday fixtures to come, as well as Aston Villa v West Ham tomorrow and Spurs v Fulham on Monday.

The match reports are starting to drop in:

Pick of League One and League Two full-times

League One: Bolton have beaten Northampton 2-1, Charlton hammered Reading 4-0, while Portsmouth needed a late goal to beat Carlisle 1-0 (that’s a tough trip home).

League Two: Stockport saw out an entertaining 3-2 win against Grimsby, Bradford and Wrexham played out a 1-1 draw, while Crewe clinched an eye-catching 4-2 win at Crawley after trailing 2-1.

Championship full-time scores

FT: Manchester City 2-1 Brighton

City didn’t have everything their own way, dealt a major scare late on after Ansu Fati’s goal and Manuel Akanji’s red card. But they’d raced into a 2-0 lead inside 19 minutes and then did enough to see out the three points. The three points will be all Pep Guardiola cares about. City have gone back to the top – for now.

Scottish Premiership full-time scores

FT: Brentford 3-0 Burnley

The Bees will be buzzing this afternoon. They were miles the better side against Vincent Kompany’s boys.

FT: Nottingham Forest 2-2 Luton

A precious point for Rob Edwards’ side, who had trailed 2-0.

FT: Newcastle 4-0 Crystal Palace

A straightforward afternoon for Eddie Howe’s side, clinching their fifth successive home win.

Red card: Manuel Akanji is shown a second yellow and City will have to play the rest of added time with 10 men. Ansu Fati drew the foul from the former Dortmund defender.

This isn’t over yet. We’ve had a big delay, so there’s lots of stoppage time.

FT: Bournemouth 1-2 Wolves

Gary O’Neil will not be forgetting this afternoon in a hurry, while the struggles go on for Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth. His team had led through Dominic Solanke but crumbled in the second half, conceding two goals and having a man sent off. Delirium for Wanderers.

Forest have the ball in the Luton net, but Chris Wood is denied a hat-trick and a dramatic winner by the assistant referee’s flag. Wow, what a moment that would have been. Still 2-2.

It’s Michael Carrick 1-0 Wayne Rooney Middlesbrough 1-0 Birmingham after a late Morgan Rogers’ goal looks to have sealed a Boro victory.

GOAL! Nottingham Forest 2-2 Luton (Adebayo ’90+2)

The City Ground is stunned into silence! What incredible character Luton have shown here, deservedly equalising in stoppage time through Elijah Adebayo.

“Haaland! Haaland! Haaland!” chant the City fans after a crucial piece of centre forward play from the big fella leads his side up the pitch and away to safety. City are taking it into the corner here, such is their desperation to hold on.

Championship: What a turnaround for Daniel Farke on his return to Carrow Road! Leeds have somehow fought back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2. A Summerville brace has turned the tables. Leicester have made it 3-1 at Swansea and keep on marching on.

GOAL! Brentford 3-0 Burnley (Ghoddos ’87)

Three goals and three points for Frank’s boys.

GOAL! Bournemouth 1-2 Wolves (Kalajdzic ’88)

Oh sweet revenge for G.O.N. Sasa Kalajdzic has clinched the lead for his Wolverhampton Wanderers. Is that the winner?

Another Scotland update, from Simon McMahon: Dundee United 3-0 up and cruising at Firhill, Dominic, which puts the Tannadice men seven points clear of hosts Partick, who remain third, and four ahead of Raith Rovers in second, whose game at Arbroath fell victim to the weather. And RIP Bobby Charlton, a genuine legend of the game. Scottish Premiership: Rangers 4-0 Hibernian. A Clement start for Philippe.

GOAL! Nottingham Forest 2-1 Luton (Ogbene ’83)

I lied about the points being safe for Forest. We know 2-0 is the most dangerous scoreline. Chiedozie Ogbene reduces the deficit.

Someone give Wolves a shake. Gary O’Neil could not want this goal any more, could he? They’re locked at 1-1 at his old Bournemouth stomping ground, with a man advantage, but they’re not making it count right now.

Manchester City fans are turning up the volume at the Etihad; they sense their side need a boost.

A pun from Peter Oh. Man City are tempting Fati. 5/10 for me, Clive.

Championship: Leeds are NOT toast! They’re level at 2-2 with Norwich. Someone wake up the correspondents at Watford v Sheffield Wednesday and West Brom v Plymouth. No sign of goals in either game.

League Two: Stockport are back in front, leading Grimsby 3-2.

Red card: Burnley are toast. Connor Roberts trudges off after picking up his second booking of the day.

GOAL! Nottingham Forest 2-0 Luton (Wood ’76)

Chris Wood the scorer, Anthony Elanga the provider. Rinse and repeat. The points look safe for Forest.
