Key events

Championship: The interrupted game between Coventry City and QPR has finished 2-1 to the side from West London.

Full time: Brentford 1-2 Wolves

Premier League: We’ve had bloodshed, drones, delays, a malfunctioning referee’s battery pack and three goals during a very eventful afternoon at the Brentford Community Stadium. The game ends with Wolves taking the points and Thomas Frank being shown a red card for dissent as he stormed on to the pitch at the final whistle to protest about something or other.

Brentford 1-2 Wolves: Adama Traore looks to have scored Wolves’ third with a cracking shot after latching on to a weighted pass from Ruben Neves but his effort is ruled out for offside after a VAR intervention. My word, that was tight.

Brentford 1-2 Wolves: We’re into at least seven minutes of added time and Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa has just been booked for time-wasting. He wasn’t happy about it and complained at length to the referee, who must have been tempted to show him a second yellow.

GOAL! Brentford 1-2 Wolves (Neves 78)

Premier League: Wolves restore their lead as Ruben Neves rounds off a fine passing move with a trademark strike from outside the Brentford penalty area.

Full-time: Leeds 0-1 Newcastle

Premier League: Newcastle hold on to win their second Premier League game in 21 attempts this season. Jonjo Shelvey scored their winner with a free-kick where Leeds goalkeeper Ilan Meslier failed to distinguish himself.

Full time: Manchester United 1-0 West Ham

Premier League: Manchester leave it late but take all three points with a late smash-and-grab from Marcus Rashford.

GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 West Ham (Rashford 90+3)

Premier League: For the second time in as many games, Marcus Rashford comes off the bench to score. It’s a tap-in from two yards but was Edinson Cavani offside in the build-up? No he wasn’t - the goal stands!!!

Leeds 0-1 Newcastle: Apologies, it was Allan Saint-Maximin who went down in the Leeds penalty area under a challenge from Robin Koch, who got away with one there.

Leeds 0-1 Newcastle: Newcastle have a penalty shout turned down for what looked like a blatant foul on Fabian Schar.

Premier League: The deadlock is broken at the Brentford Community Stadium. Joao Moutinho plays a one-two with Semedo on the edge of the Brentford box and strokes a right-footed effort into the far corner.

Leeds 0-0 Newcastle: Ahead of a week in which Newcastle are supposed to be bringing in several new recruits, Eddie Howe loses a third player to injury in one game. Jamaal Lascelles is the latest to limp off and it looks like he’s pulled a hamstring. Martin Dubravka takes the captain’s armband.

Brentford 0-0 Wolves: The players of both side come out for their delayed second half, only for referee Peter Banks to trot back to his dressing-room because there’s something wrong with the battery pack on his arm.

Championship: Luton’s Reece Burke is sent off for a last-man foul on Rhian Brewster, who he wrestled to the ground. In other news, Coventry’s game against QPR has been delayed for 10 minutes for - I think - a medical emergency of some sort in the crowd. It remains 1-1 at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Leeds 0-0 Newcastle: Newcastle are on the ropes and lose another player to injury. Paul Dummett is the latest casualty although I’m not sure exactly what’s wrong with him.

Championship: A Lewis Baker screamer from distance draws Stoke City level with Fulham at the Bet365 Stadium.

Manchester United 0-0 West Ham: Marcus Rashford comes on for Anthony Elanga, who got the nod ahead of his more senior Manchester United team-mate today.

Championship: Blackpool go ahead against Millwall, with Shayne Lavery scoring the only goal of the afternoon so far at Bloomfield Road.

Brentford 0-0 Wolves: It’s finally half-time at the Brentford Community Stadium, where play was delayed due to an overhead drone and some unrelated injuries.

Championship: Sheffield United score their second in three minutes, with Jack Robinson heading home a free-kick to make it 2-0. Coventry have equalised against QPR, with Jordan Shipley doing the honours.

Championship: Nutmegging the goalkeeper, Rhian Brewster scores for Sheffield United to give them a one-goal lead over Luton Town at Bramall Lane. Meanwhile at the Liberty Stadium, Ryan Manning sends a screamer from distance fizzing past Preston goalkeeper Daniel iversen to give his side a 1-0 lead. Birmingham City have doubled their lead against Barnsley, with Scott Hogan doing the honours for the home side, who lead 2-0.

Manchester United 0-0 West Ham: Alphonse Areola saves the first shot on target in the game at Old Trafford. Fred pulled the trigger but West Ham’s goalkeeper was able to keep it out.

Brentford 0-0 Wolves: We’re 15 minutes of the 19 added on at Brentford in after the break in play but the action on the pitch is far less entertaining than that which preceded it in the sky above. There are no chances of note to report, although I can reveal that Ivan Toney has shorn his dreads and is now sporting what I believe the kids call “a shape-up”.

Brentford 0-0 Wolves: The drone has buggered off and the players are back out at the Brentford Community Stadium. Between the injuries to Rico Henry and Mathias Jensen, and the aerial intervention from the drone, half-time is some way away.

Newcastle 0-0 Leeds: Ilan Meslier saves brilliantly from Chris Wood, who pounces on a bouncing ball in the penalty area from six yards out after a corner. The flag goes up and it turns out the big Kiwi was offside but Meslier didn’t know that.

Championship: Reading equalise against Huddersfield at the Madejski, where it’s now 3-3 between the sides. Michael Morrison chips in with the latest.

Leeds 0-0 Newcastle: Bad news for Newcastle, who lose Joelinton to a groin injury. It doesn’t look great as he limps off and you’d have to think it could rule him out for six weeks or more. He’ll have a scan tomorrow and in the meantime is replaced by Sean Longstaff.

Brentford 0-0 Wolves: This, from our man at the Brentford Community Stadium.

No one seems to know what is happening - everyone is just looking up at the sky. Farcical scenes now as a chopper is deployed

— Ed Aarons (@ed_aarons) January 22, 2022

Brentford 0-0 Wolves: The drone continues to fly over the Brentford Community Stadium, where the players have been taken off the field. Located just six miles from Heathrow Airport, it’s a bit of a security risk and now a helicopter has been summoned to ... do something or other? They’re hardly going to blast it out of the sky, are they?

Championship: Having fallen behind inside a minute, Fulham have now taken the lead against Stoke City. Munez turns in the box and scores his second of the afternoon off the foot of the post. At St Andrews, where fans were protesting about their owners before today’s game, Birmingham City have gone 1-0 up against Barnsley through Miguel Fernandez.

Drone stops Brentford v Wolves

Brentford 0-0 Wolves: Both Mathias Jensen and Rico Henry have had to go off to receive treatment for their respective head injuries after the aforementioned clash. Thomas Frank has sent on a pair of concussion substitutes, which means one or both of the stricken players could return.

Now there’s more drama at the Brentford Community Stadium as the referee takes the players off the pitch because somebody is flying a drone overhead. No, really.
