That just about does us this evening for the action in the English Football League.

And the promotion and relegation race is very much on track.

We've got one Championship fixture tomorrow to look forward to as Middlesbrough take on Cardiff and we'll bring you the latest on that one as it happens.

For now, thank you for joining us.

Exeter's sixth promotion in their 121-year history came after six years of heartbreaking near-misses.

The Grecians were beaten play-off finalists in 2017, when they lost to Blackpool, and again a year later when Coventry City defeated them at Wembley.

Matt Taylor's first season in charge ended with City one point outside the play-off places in 2019, before a humbling 4-0 loss to Northampton in a Covid-19 affected play-off final a year later.

Last season the Grecians were three points short but this term - with a club-record 20-game unbeaten run - Exeter have impressed and will deservedly take their place in the third tier for the first time in a decade.

• Exeter seal promotion to League One thanks to a 2-1 home win over Barrow.
• That result moves level on points at the top with leaders Forest Green, who lose 2-1 at Swindon.
• Mansfield are up to fifth, one point outside the automatic places, after beating Stevenage 2-0.
• Sutton are seventh as they comfortably see off Crawley 3-0.

• Portsmouth come from 2-0 behind to win 3-2 and prevent leaders Wigan sealing promotion to the Championship.
• Rotherham edge one point clear of MK Dons in the race for second after drawing 1-1 at play-off chasing Sunderland. The draw ends the tiny chance of automatic promotion for the Black Cats.
• Lee Gregory scores a hat-trick as Sheffield Wednesday hit back from trailing 2-1 to win 3-2 at Fleetwood. Wednesday move up to fourth. Fleetwood remain 20th and level on points with Gillingham, who occupy the final relegation spot.

Here's how things look at the top of the Championship after tonight.

Fulham missed the chance to wrap up the title after their defeat by Nottingham Forest but given their points gap on those behind them, it's only a matter of time.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth's fightback to gain a point at Swansea spares their blushes, but Forest's win means they are just three points behind, with the same goal difference and games played.

Swansea had looked to be coasting to victory as they led 3-0 after 58 minutes.

But Kieffer Moore's double and Dominic Solanke's penalty rescues them a point, but with Nottingham Forest beating Fulham, their pursuit of automatic promotion will draw on.

What a second-half comeback from Portsmouth! Wigan's promotion to League One will have to wait until the final day.

AFC Wimbledon and Doncaster are NOT down yet.

All over at Oakwell.

Blackpool beat Barnsley thanks to goals from Owen Dale and Oliver Casey.

It's all over at Craven Cottage and Fulham miss the opportunity to wrap up the Championship title.

Philip Zinckernagel's goal gives Nottingham Forest three points and the automatic promotion push in the Championship has just got interesting.

That result ensures Forest of a play-off place and moves them up to third.

Matty Longstaff has added a second in injury time for Mansfield at home to Stevenage. That should be the three points in the bag.

An equaliser at the Stadium of Light!

Michael Ihiekwe's has headed into his own net and Sunderland are level. Rotherham have been pegged back.

Exeter went behind to Barrow early on, but goals from Kieran Phillips and Matt Jay got them the win they needed to seal promotion to League One.

It's all Nottingham Forest as this game begins to draw to a close.

Cafu gets onto the ball inside the area and pulls back for Brennan Johnson who fires towards goal but Marek Rodak saves

Game over at Gander Green Lane where Alistair Smith has his second of the night to put Sutton three up at home to Crawley. Great finish!

Kieffer Moore almost finds a leveller for Bournemouth!

He heads a lofted ball down into the ground and chases onto it, virtually unmarked in the Swansea box.

But Andrew Fisher swiftly collects.

Richie Laryea goes in down the right for Nottingham Forest and pulls back for Brennan Johnson.

His shot is hastily diverted away by Tosin Adarabioyo for a corner.
